Near Protocol Raises $350M

New York-based venture firm Tiger Global led the investment round. Republic Capital, Hashed, FTX Ventures, Dragonfly Capital, and others are also participating in the funding round. According to a press release, the new money will help NEAR increase the number of regional hubs and expand its ecosystem significantly.

The latest round of funding comes less than three months after Near announced a $150 million funding round. The company said that additional venture investments in projects and applications based on the NEAR protocol would be announced in the coming weeks, focusing on NEAR and Aurora-based DeFi products and applications.

What is NEAR Protocol?

NEAR Protocol, an open-source platform for decentralized applications, was founded in 2018. Since the launch of Mainnet in October 2020, it has focused on developing a user-friendly environment for developers of decentralized applications. A vital feature of the blockchain is sharding technology to create scalability. Near is thus able to divide the blockchain into smaller, more manageable parts.

In April 2021, NEAR launched Rainbow Bridge to enable the transfer of ERC-20 tokens between the Ethereum and NEAR blockchains. And thanks to large amounts of funding, the Near ecosystem snowballed in the last quarter of 2021, as Aurora raised $12 million from Near in October to make the network compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
