NEARCON 2023, an event focused on bringing together Web3, DeFi and blockchain experts goes live today, and could prove the catalyst for the Layer-1 token’s recovery.
NEARCON ‘23 goes live
NEARCON, considered one of the largest Web3 events of the year, went live in Lisbon on November 7. The conference ends on November 10 and the event features a week-long hackathon.
The conference attracts developers, Web3, DeFi and blockchain experts, and protocols built in the NEAR ecosystem. With the NEARCON going live, the Layer-1 blockchain token noted a decline in its price. NEAR price corrected nearly 3% on the day, after 16% weekly gains on Binance.
It is likely that the event turned out to be a “sell the news,” trade, however, there is also a likelihood of price recovery according to bullish on-chain metrics.
NEAR on-chain metrics point towards price recovery
Three key on-chain metrics help determine the direction of NEAR price trend: Social dominance, development activity and NEAR trade volume.
Social dominance
Social dominance is an on-chain metric that reveals the dominance of an asset in conversations across platforms like X. This helps identify the demand and the relevance of an asset.
Based on data from crypto intelligence tracker Santiment, NEAR’s social dominance climbed from 0.68% to 0.74% between November 4 and 7. There has been an increase in NEAR’s mentions on conversations across social media platforms, and this supports a bullish thesis for the asset.
