A 140% monthly surge and a reported post-quantum asset launch push NEAR's market capitalization past $7 billion. NEAR Protocol's token rose about 6% on Thursday, trading near $5.50 according to crypto.news. The gain was enough to lift NEAR's market capitalization past that of Stellar's XLM, a shift commonly referred to in crypto markets as a "flip." The single-day move is part of a longer climb. Cointelegraph reported that NEAR has surged roughly 140% over the past 30 days, a run that carried the token into the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
