Over the last 12 months DOGE returned -60.52% and NEAR +77.34%. Over just the last month the picture is the same: DOGE +12.91%, NEAR +170.88%. Short periods can tell a very different story from long ones, which is why picking a coin from last month's chart rarely works.
NEAR Protocol moves about ±2.7% on a typical day against ±1.8% for Dogecoin. In the past year DOGE fell as much as 74% from a peak and NEAR 69%. Bigger swings mean bigger possible gains and bigger possible losses, size your position so a fall like that wouldn't force you to sell.
The correlation of their daily moves over the past year is 0.60 (1 = always together, 0 = unrelated): they often move in the same direction, but not always. That makes holding both a little less risky than holding either alone.
Dogecoin is the bigger network, with a market cap about 2.3× that of NEAR Protocol. A lower price per coin doesn't make a coin “cheaper”: what matters is market cap, and how many new coins will still be created (DOGE: no fixed cap; NEAR: no fixed cap).
Both trade on FIU-registered exchanges. Profit on either is taxed at 30% plus 4% cess, 1% TDS is deducted when you sell, and a loss on one can't be set off against a gain on the other. Guides: how to buy Dogecoin · how to buy NEAR Protocol · best crypto apps in India.

We don't give buy or sell advice. The data shows how each has behaved, not what happens next. Many investors hold more than one coin rather than choosing; with a correlation of 0.60, they often move in the same direction, but not always, so holding both spreads less risk than it might seem.
