What $100 in BNB in 2018 became
BNB's first full year. Despite the broader bear market, Binance's exchange token held up better than most, trading roughly between $6 and $15.
If you had put $100 into BNB at the start of 2018 — buying around $8 per BNB on January 01, 2018 — you would have acquired roughly 11.8343 BNB. At today's price of $606, that position is worth about $7,173, a return of +7073% (72x your money).
Lump sum vs dollar-cost averaging
The figure above assumes a single lump-sum buy at the start of 2018. If you had instead spread that same $100 into equal weekly purchases from 2018 until today, it would be worth about $1,653. Lump sum usually wins when you happen to buy near a market low, while dollar-cost averaging lowers your risk of buying right before a crash. There's no single right answer — it depends on the entry point and your risk tolerance.
