Price History

The shaded fan is where this price has historically travelled over the months after a close like today’s. It is not a forecast: it has no view on direction, only on distance.

$0.0248$0.247$0.469$0.690
2021-102026-09 · $0.0597

Over 3 months from Sep 2026, roughly two-thirds of past moves landed between $0.0350 and $0.102; nine in ten between $0.0248 and $0.143.

Tested against this asset’s own history: across 79 past 3-month windows, the price actually landed inside the two-thirds band 71% of the time. The gap from 68% is the model’s error — real returns have fatter tails than the maths assumes, so the band gets breached more often than it claims.

Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $10,847 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is -28.0%.

Lump sum instead — $9,400 all at once in Dec 2018: $27,524 (+192.8%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Nov 2021): $3,824 on $5,900 invested (-35.2%).

Backtests use monthly closing prices. Stock dividends aren’t reinvested, so long-run equity returns are understated.

About Cronos

Cronos is an institutional-grade, high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK and integrated with the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, designed as the backbone for open, compliant, and AI-accessible tokenized markets. It supports up to 60,000 transactions per second (TPS), 500ms block times, instant finality, and sub-$0.01 fees via Proof of Authority consensus. (CoinGecko)

It's a cryptocurrency categorised under layer 1, with a market cap of about $3.0B.

It rates High Risk at 2.9/5, meaning several rated factors score badly, so this carries materially more risk than a typical holding.

What pushes the score up: market / volatility (3.7/5) and regulatory (3.0/5).

Scoring well: governance / team at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: supply & concentration, smart contract / technical, custody / bridge. These are excluded from the score rather than guessed, so the real risk may be higher than what’s shown.

Ratings summarise sourced facts against fixed rules — not investment advice, and no substitute for your own diligence.
