$NEAR ran hard — $0.84 in February to ~$5 by late September, roughly 6x in seven months. NEAR Intents crossed $30 billion in volume across 35 chains, inflation halved to 2.5%, and protocol revenue now funds buybacks. Momentum already played out.

$TAO sits at ~$300 with the same 21 million max supply as Bitcoin, only 11.6 million circulating. Subnets continue shipping real AI infrastructure work. One coin already had its run. The other is still building in the shadows.

Which setup looks more interesting from here?
