Near Protocol News today centers on a new product rollout. The platform has launched NEAR Business, a confidential multisig treasury built for crypto-native teams. Every move needs approval from the team’s own signers, according to<a href="https://x.com/NEARProtocol/status/2112544505891070286" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NEAR’s official X post</a>.&nbsp;

Following this crypto news today, $NEAR price surged over 4% while most large tokens stayed flat. From this move, it is a clear sign that the network is chasing paying business users, not only retail traffic.

NEAR Business gives teams one dashboard for payments, bulk payroll, swaps and capital allocation across more than 35 chains. Each action needs approval from the team’s own signers. Roles and thresholds can mirror the way an organization already makes decisions, per the<a href="https://business.near.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">official product page</a> (business.near.com).
<img alt="business.near.com" src="https://d3iuzwoiyg9qa8.cloudfront.net/webadmin/storage/public/commonEditerImage/PAAEHnMpmVDFhBEbbJO9O1mjUuu3Ym8w5nWjgJwt.png" width="300" height="398" title="business.near.com">
For, why does it matter? The product targets a privacy gap. Any treasury on a public chain exposes balances, salaries and counterparties to anyone with a block explorer.&nbsp;
NEAR-Business settles payments through confidential receipts instead, so the market cannot see who was paid, how much, or when. Membership, roles and votes stay verifiable on-chain. Exports in CSV, Excel or JSON hand auditors the full record.
<a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/near-intents-exploit-deposit-flaw-3-8m-recovered" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NEAR Intents</a> does the heavy lifting underneath. Signers approve a request, the Treasury Contract triggers an MPC signature, and Confidential Intents settles it while solvers compete to fill each swap.&nbsp;
NEAR-Business holds no key or key share, so custody stays with the team. Access is invite-only for now, based on the <a href="https://x.com/NEARProtocol/status/2112545785334395132?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">official post by the team</a>.

NEAR Price Today Reacts to the Treasury Launch With a 4.32% Rally
The $NEAR token price recovered after sliding into the mid-$4.60s overnight. Key <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/near-protocol/" rel="noopener noreferrer">figures from CoinMarketCap</a> as of October 21:
<img alt="NEAR Price Today" src="https://d3iuzwoiyg9qa8.cloudfront.net/webadmin/storage/public/commonEditerImage/1BXsAJmuQCnhQdAmaqTdoTifvTQJN5BQyt3o5UIF.png" width="300" height="385" title="NEAR Price Today">
<ul>
 <li>Price today: $5.01, up 4.32% in 24 hours</li>
 <li>Market cap:$6.57B, ranked #16</li>
 <li>24-hour volume: $1.3B, up 55.05%</li>
 <li>Circulating supply:about 1.3B NEAR, with no maximum supply</li>
 <li>Holders: 16.07K</li>
</ul>
NEAR ETF inflows and solid third-quarter ecosystem metrics added support. <a href="https://x.com/ilblackdragon/status/2110070981561659700?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">A report by Co-founder</a>, Illia, cites more than $34B in all-time Intents volume and over $150M in Confidential Intents TVL, with 200+ assets live.&nbsp;
That maturity explains the timing of this Near Protocol business-based push. It also shapes the <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/near-protocol-price-prediction-5-59-resistance-test" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Near Protocol price story</a> for the weeks ahead.

<a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/near-protocol-news-robinhood-chain-swaps" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Near Protocol News</a> over the next two quarters will test whether private treasuries can win paying teams. Wider access, Near SPICE V1 mainnet and the Near 2027 target of faster blocks will show if Intents volume can turn into lasting business demand.
