Ethereum: historical performance & « if you invested »

History since 2017 · current price $2,246
In short — $1000 invested in Ethereum 5 years ago would be worth $2,303 today (+130%). Over 10 years, the average annual return is 25%/yr. Best year: 2020 (+616%), worst: 2018 (-79%). Price return, excluding dividends.
⚠️ Extreme volatility. Ethereum mostly tracks the Bitcoin cycle, not fundamentals: in our history, up to +300% one year and −80% another. Past performance means nothing here.
