About this tool

This tool compares the returns of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana over a chosen period so you can see how the three have performed relative to each other. It helps users weigh how these major assets have moved rather than viewing each in isolation.

It measures each asset's percentage change from a common starting point, letting you line up the three on the same basis. Comparing normalized returns rather than raw prices makes it clear which asset gained or lost more over the same window, regardless of their very different price levels.

Frequently asked questions

How do you compare returns of coins with very different prices?

You measure percentage change from a shared starting point rather than comparing absolute prices, since a coin priced in the thousands and one priced in the hundreds can still be compared fairly by percent gained or lost. This is often called normalizing or rebasing the returns.

Do BTC, ETH, and SOL move together?

These major assets are correlated and often trend in the same broad direction, especially during strong market-wide moves. However, they can diverge over shorter periods based on their own developments, so relative performance varies.

Does past outperformance predict future returns?

No, one asset leading over a given window does not mean it will keep leading, as leadership rotates between assets over time. Comparing past performance describes what happened, not what will happen next.
