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.

$1,631$2,855$4,080$5,304
2021-102026-09 · $4,374

Over 3 months from Sep 2026, roughly two-thirds of past moves landed between $3,983 and $4,804; nine in ten between $3,749 and $5,104.

Tested against this asset’s own history: across 65 past 3-month windows, the price actually landed inside the two-thirds band 57% 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 $9,017 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +75.7%.

Lump sum instead — $8,000 all at once in Feb 2020: $22,177 (+177.2%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Feb 2026): $784.08 on $800 invested (-2.0%).

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

There isn’t enough researched data to give it an overall rating yet — only 43% of the scoring weight is backed by facts, below the 60% needed. The score shown is partial and covers only what’s known.

Scoring well: systemic / correlation at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: supply & concentration, smart contract / technical, custody / bridge, governance / team, regulatory. 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.
