What it means

Who it affects, what changes and what is still unconfirmed

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

Users and market participants noticed NEAR’s 12% move while Intents reached a record month in September. That made the token and the swapping product more visible at the same time, even though the recorded swap value itself does not show how much NEAR ended up being held.

Before this record, September routed swap activity had already been measured against August, with a 72.9% increase now on the record. What remains unchanged is that the routed swap number is still a transaction measure, not a direct count of tokens bought and kept.
