Delphi Digital: Backtesting of 5-Year Holding Periods for Major Crypto Assets Shows Most Entry Points Delivered Positive Returns Delphi Digital analyzed daily price data since May 2016 across all possible 5-year holding periods for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana (including staking yields for ETH and SOL). Bitcoin recorded only 11 negative windows, with the worst case at around -13%, while Ethereum and Solana recorded none.
Bitcoin’s median 5-year return was over 8x, and Ethereum’s was nearly 13x. For comparison, Nvidia’s roughly 14x return over the past five years is similar to the third quartile of historical 5-year BTC and ETH returns. — link
