NEAR Blocked $50 Million of Bitget's Stolen Money, Then Lost $3.8 Million of Its Own Two Days Later. Is NEAR Still Safe to Hold After a 182% Monthly Surge?

NEAR Protocol blocked more than $50 million tied to the Bitget hack but subsequently suffered a $3.8 million loss in the NEAR Intents exploit on October 1. The incident highlights continued security and stolen-funds risks for the NEAR ecosystem, likely pressuring investor confidence in the token and related protocols.
