Why did NEAR's price rise so much in September 2026?

[Criptoview]

The rally coincided with the launch of new NEAR Intents features, such as limit orders, within a broader crypto market upswing. Sharp gains concentrated in a few days tend to come with elevated volatility in both directions.
NEAR doesn't have a hard supply cap like Bitcoin's 21 million; instead, the protocol sets maximum inflation parameters adjustable through governance, currently 2.5% a year after the cut approved in late 2025.

You can notice that since many months ago, bitcoin marketcap dropped below 60% in September of this year. This is because many altcoins increased and not only near protocol that increased in price. You can see some coins that increased to 2 to 5x from their initial prices. Some people even think it is altseason, although it is mild.

Most people nowadays thought about altcoin season since Glassnode announced about hitting the 70 altcoin season index. Near is not the only one, like mentioned above; also, look at the chart for SUI and BCH and I am sure they are also hype even Bitcoin is trying to retest the $83k.

For now, this is a signal for altcoin season, but we don't know yet the real reason behind why those altcoins pump high so much. The only thing that I know is that those altcoins might be affected by the buyback operation.

Who knows if the alt season that people are long waiting for is here because it's not only NEAR that had a good pump, most altcoins prices also pumped. People might be waiting for a bigger alt season but we might not see it as big as that of 2022 and below.

Anyone holding altcoins should sell it when they see little profit because you might not be able to sell for higher profit before the price of that coin dump and dump to zero value. Though, it depends on the coin because some altcoins are always been influenced by bitcoin price movement while, some can only dump without pumping when bitcoin price pumps.

I agree, we might no longer see the bigger alt season that people are waiting for.

I think with the near's price bump, we see that the other coins from its network also have increased.

In this time of bear market, this might not be yet the alt season that everyone awaits. But for those who holds it, I think it make sense for them to do the initiative of doing the right thing because each narrative is changing.

And price increase are temporal and just as what we see right now, it starts to correct.

When price action is looking great especially influenced by bitcoin, the altcoin can pump outta nowhere, even if most of us have no idea what happened. People speculate. However, my guess is Bitwise NEAR ETF and rotation from ZEC bag holder.

The same thing with most altcoins. Premine, uncapped total supply, adjusted inflation through governance, burn mechanism, allocation for founders and ecosystem. Old news for altcoin, Ethereum and Solana is also the same. Therefore the supply cap in altcoins has long been dismissed as one of the main equation when you're calculating potential upside.
