NEAR Protocol and NEAR are related, but they are not the same thing. NEAR Protocol is the network, whereas NEAR is the native token used within it.
On the network, NEAR is used to process transactions, store data, transfer value between NEAR applications and accounts, and help secure the network through staking.
In the Crypto.com App, the basic steps are:
Before you confirm, check the order details so you are clear on the amount and any costs shown.
You can fund your account for NEAR with a free bank transfer, a debit or credit card (Visa or Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto deposited from another wallet.
The minimum amount needed to buy NEAR Protocol on Crypto.com is £1. This means you can buy a small fraction of NEAR Protocol rather than a whole token.
NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is supported in the Crypto.com App's Staking feature. To use it, go to Menu > Staking, choose NEAR Protocol, enter the amount, review the Staking Terms and Conditions and Privacy Notice, then submit the request.
Eligibility varies. Reward rates are not guaranteed and may change depending on network activity. Crypto.com deducts a 35% service fee from NEAR staking rewards. Crypto.com does not impose a minimum staking period or fixed term. Supported blockchains may impose minimum bonding or unbonding periods.
Staking rewards, fee reduction, and other benefits referenced in this article may be subject to eligibility requirements, token holdings, and may change at the discretion of Crypto.com.

FAQs
Investing in NEAR Protocol means buying and holding a digital asset with the expectation that its value may increase over time. Depending on the asset, it can also be used for transactions, access to a network, or participation in a broader financial system - all without relying on traditional intermediaries like banks.
Download the Crypto.com App from the App Store or Google Play, sign up and complete identity verification. Fund your account via bank transfer or use faster options like Apple Pay or card. Once funds are available, you can buy NEAR Protocol and manage it in one place.
Investing in NEAR Protocol typically means buying and holding it over a longer period, with the expectation that its value will increase over time. It’s generally lower effort and less sensitive to short-term price movements.
Day trading, by contrast, involves actively buying and selling NEAR Protocol over short timeframes, usually within the same day, to profit from price volatility. It requires more time, skill, and risk management, as outcomes depend heavily on timing and market swings.
The minimum amount required to invest in NEAR Protocol on Crypto.com is very low - you can start with as little as £1.
This means you can buy a small fraction of NEAR Protocol and gradually build your position over time, rather than needing to commit a large upfront amount.
You can fund your account and invest in NEAR Protocol on the Crypto.com App using bank transfers, debit or credit cards, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or by depositing crypto from another wallet.
