Frequently asked questions
οΌWhat is CAGR?
Compound Annual Growth Rate is the single yearly rate that would take your starting value to your ending value over the period, assuming steady compounding. It's the standard way to compare investments over different time spans.
οΌHow is CAGR different from total return?
Total return is the overall gain (end Γ· start β 1). CAGR spreads that gain evenly across the years so a 300% total return over 3 years becomes a ~59% CAGR.
οΌDoes CAGR account for volatility?
No β it only uses the first and last values. A coin that soared and crashed can show the same CAGR as one that rose steadily. Use it alongside drawdown and volatility measures.
οΌCan I use CAGR to project the future?
You can extrapolate, but past CAGR is not a promise. Crypto rarely compounds smoothly, so treat any projection as a rough scenario, not a forecast.
