Everclear Surges 111% in Q2 2025 as NEAR Partnership Expands Cross-Chain Liquidity Solutions

Everclear, a cross-chain clearing and settlement protocol for digital assets, has secured a strategic investment and partnership with the NEAR Foundation to advance cross-chain liquidity solutions. The collaboration involves NEAR’s provision of solver capital to enhance Everclear’s liquidity infrastructure and a multi-faceted strategic investment, aligning with the protocol’s mission to scale zero-cost, bidirectional liquidity flows across blockchain networks [1]. This partnership aims to leverage NEAR’s sharded blockchain architecture and intents-based framework to address fragmentation in the digital asset economy, enabling seamless coordination of liquidity across decentralized ecosystems.

The cross-chain intents market is gaining traction amid declining transaction fees—often as low as 0.01%—and near-instant settlement times, creating favorable conditions for growth. Everclear, which recently surpassed $1 billion in total transaction volume, has expanded its supported chains to 23, including Solana, and onboarded top DeFi protocols like Li.Fi and Across. The protocol reported 111% growth in Q2 2025, a >50x increase from January 2025, underscoring its accelerating momentum [1].

Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR, emphasized the platform’s focus on unifying liquidity for human and AI users within the Intents ecosystem. He highlighted the strategic value of cross-chain clearing in a market saturated with stablecoins, new chains, and emerging asset types. Dima Khanarin, CEO of Everclear, stated the partnership positions the protocol to target billions in monthly volume within 12 months, capitalizing on the proliferation of stablecoins and appchains like Robinhood. Analysts project the cross-chain clearing market could surpass $1 trillion, driven by expanding use cases and infrastructure innovation [1].

Everclear’s infrastructure, compared to traditional financial systems like Visa and SWIFT, aims to eliminate barriers to liquidity fragmentation. The NEAR Foundation’s investment follows backing from entities such as Pantera Capital, Polychain, and the Ethereum Foundation, reflecting confidence in the protocol’s potential to redefine cross-chain transactions. By integrating NEAR’s technology, Everclear seeks to enhance scalability, reduce costs, and accommodate the growing demand for interoperable solutions in a decentralized economy.
