NEAR Business has launched a new cross-chain treasury platform that enables companies to manage digital assets and payments across 35 different blockchains. The platform is designed to provide secure and efficient treasury management with a focus on privacy and interoperability.
The platform incorporates self-custodial multisignature controls and ensures that transaction details remain private, addressing common security and confidentiality concerns for businesses. It leverages NEAR Intents to facilitate cross-chain execution, allowing for seamless asset management across multiple blockchain networks.
Unlike many competing solutions, the platform does not impose subscription or per-user fees, making it accessible to a wider range of businesses. The first 1,000 monthly actions are offered for free, providing an incentive for early adopters to test the platform's capabilities.
NEAR Protocol's Total Value Locked (TVL) stands at $143.07 million, representing a 2.9% increase over the past week, according to DeFiLlama. This growth indicates a positive trend in the adoption of NEAR-based applications and services.
The broader crypto market is currently in an upswing, with a total market cap of $2.85 trillion and a Fear & Greed index of 55, indicating a 'Greed' sentiment. 
Bitcoin is up 1.14% in the last 24 hours, while NEAR Protocol's native token, NEAR, is trading at $4.92, with a slight 0.09% decline over the same period.

The chart plots NEAR's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 NEAR ≈ ₦6,723.88 (about $4.93), up 0.5% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
