NEAR Protocol (NEAR) falls 6.83 percent to 4.95 USD, with the NEAR Protocol price measured as of October 25, 2026, according to Investing.com. A separate House of Stake proposal opened on October 19, 2026, and would reduce the token's annual issuance cap from 2.5 percent to 1.6 percent, according to Coinotag.

NEAR governance vote targets a 1.6 percent issuance cap

The proposal, identified as HSP-029, concerns NEAR Protocol's Layer 1 network, meaning the base blockchain that processes and settles transactions. Coinotag reported that voting opened on October 19, 2026, and closes on November 2, 2026. The proposal would phase the annual ceiling from 2.5 percent to 1.6 percent over 24 months.

Coinotag also reported that the plan would keep the existing 90 percent share of newly issued tokens for staking participants and 10 percent share for the protocol treasury. The proposal includes a 90-day grace period and requires a separate validator upgrade before the lower ceiling takes effect, according to Coinotag.
