What $1,000 in Solana in 2023 became

The great comeback. Defying the doubters, SOL surged from ~$10 to over $100 as its ecosystem rebuilt and activity returned in force.

If you had put $1,000 into Solana at the start of 2023 — buying around $10 per SOL on January 01, 2023 — you would have acquired roughly 100.1001 SOL. At today's price of $74, that position is worth about $7,375, a return of +638% (7.4x your money).

Lump sum vs dollar-cost averaging

The figure above assumes a single lump-sum buy at the start of 2023. If you had instead spread that same $1,000 into equal weekly purchases from 2023 until today, it would be worth about $1,299. 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.
