What $100 in Solana in 2021 became
Solana's breakout. SOL exploded from under $2 to an all-time high near $260, earning the 'Ethereum killer' label as its fast, cheap network drew an NFT and DeFi boom.
If you had put $100 into Solana at the start of 2021 — buying around $2 per SOL on January 01, 2021 — you would have acquired roughly 54.2859 SOL. At today's price of $74, that position is worth about $4,000, a return of +3900% (40x your money).
Lump sum vs dollar-cost averaging
The figure above assumes a single lump-sum buy at the start of 2021. If you had instead spread that same $100 into equal weekly purchases from 2021 until today, it would be worth about $202. 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.
