NEAR Up 29%: Ondo Stocks and Zcash as Drivers

NEAR Protocol was the strongest performer among the 25 largest cryptocurrencies on Sunday evening. On our own query of the CoinGecko interface on September 27, 2026 at 22:49 UTC, NEAR stands at $5.42, or €4.77, a gain of 9.73 percent over 24 hours and of 29.23 percent over seven days. The trigger is well documented and has little to do with price speculation: the asset manager Ondo Finance launched tokenised US equities, ETFs and commodity products on the NEAR blockchain on September 22, and in parallel a growing share of Zcash trading is running through the NEAR Intents swap layer.

What that means for you in Germany comes further down: tokenised equities fall under securities law, the MiCA crypto regulation does not cover them, and on tax the legal structure decides whether the one-year holding period applies or the flat withholding tax. First the numbers, with source and timestamp.
