NEAR Protocol (NEAR) rose 3.08% to $5.32 in the hour through 11:05 a.m. ET (15:05 UTC) Oct. 21. The token was at $5.17 one hour earlier.

The 24-hour change was +6.37% at the same observation time. The hourly percentage compares the two collected quotes, with $5.17 as the earlier price and $5.32 as the later one. Both prices are for the Binance spot NEAR/USDT pair.

Short liquidations across Binance, Bybit and OKX totaled $310,000 over that hour, while long liquidations were $0. The liquidation tally covers the same one-hour interval as the price change and includes three exchanges.

NEAR ranked 19th by market capitalization at about $6.77299 billion. The $5.32 price is a Binance spot reading; the liquidation amounts are a separate measure aggregated across Binance, Bybit and OKX. Both sets of figures refer to the hour ending at 11:05 a.m. ET (15:05 UTC).
