NEAR Protocol lowers issuance target amid crypto market decline
What happened
House of Stake voters backed a proposal to lower NEAR Protocol's maximum annual issuance target from 2.5% to 1.6% with 99.96% support. This proposal, HSP-029, requires a Security Council review and validator adoption before the ramp toward the lower target can begin. In the same 24-hour period, Bitcoin fell 5.92% and Ethereum declined 7.87%.

Why it matters
The proposal outlines potential changes to the network's economics, suggesting that holders who do not stake could benefit from reduced dilution. Conversely, staking holders might receive lower rewards, and some validators could face reduced economic viability. The event occurred as Solana ETFs saw increasing inflows while validators approved a coin issuance reduction.
