Although NEAR is underperforming, developments on-chain continue to offset the market’s bearishness. One of the most notable developments on NEAR is Libre Capital offering tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on chain, bringing institutional interest to the platform

RWAs Create Buzz For The Protocol

Libre Capital is a new crypto asset management firm supported by market giants like Brevan Howard, Hamilton Lane, and Nomura’s Laser Digital. It was founded four months ago and has since experienced huge upward momentum. According to Libre Capital Founder and CEO Avtar Sehra, Libre surpassed the $100 million asset under management mark, cementing the firm as one of the fastest-rising crypto asset management companies on the market

Libre has achieved many milestones since our MVP launch four months ago, surpassing our $100 million aum target and expanding to multiple chains.

NEAR and Libre’s partnership will enable NEAR users to access tokenized versions of RWAs. As of writing, users have access to Hamilton Lane’s credit Fund, Brevan Howard’s Master Fund, and Blackrock’s ICS Money Market Fund, bridging the gap between crypto and the traditional finance space

According to Sehra, the launch of Libre on NEAR is “a crucial step towards our multichain wealth strategy” which hints at future support for more blockchains other than NEAR. But for now, this development might help bring in more institutional investors on the platform

As of writing, the bears experienced a strong rejection on the $3.8 price floor giving the bulls time to regroup and bounce. NEAR is now trying to stabilize between the $3.8-$4.3 trading range, allowing investors and traders to target $5.2 in the long term

NEAR continues to experience a strong bearish momentum in the short term, but the bulls have since gathered enough momentum to cancel out the token’s decline. The problem now is when will NEAR have enough push to break through $4.3 in the medium term

The relative strength index (RSI) suggests that the token might experience a period of low volatility where the bears and the bulls will have an equally strong momentum. But after this, NEAR will have enough push to drive the bears out of the market, breaking through $4.3 in the medium term before settling on the $4.3-$4.7 trading range.

However, this price movement is completely dependent on the broader market momentum. If Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to struggle, NEAR will have a lot of ground to retake if the bears succeed in breaking through $3.8.
