About this metric
CAGR — compound annual growth rate — is the single yearly rate that would take you from the starting price to the ending price if growth were smooth. It smooths a violent path into one number, which is exactly why it should always be read next to volatility and drawdown: a high CAGR with a −80% max drawdown is a very different asset than the same CAGR with shallow dips.
Methodology
- Data: daily closes from the ADAUSDT market on Binance (public REST API).
- Window: 17 April 2018 — 12 October 2026; pages recompute at most every 6 hours.
- All figures are calculated by CoinCrypTick from that raw data — nothing is quoted from third parties.
- Not financial advice. Crypto assets are volatile; read the drawdown page before the returns page.
