The compounded annual return, its month-by-month texture, and the two months that did the most work in each direction.
This page lists every year of BNB's history on Coinfuty as a single compounded annual return, next to its month-by-month texture. BNB's yearly rows sit closer to Bitcoin's than to the high-beta alts — smaller extremes in both directions, with 2021 the exception that carried its repricing. Its median year is one of the steadiest among the coins tracked here.
Each year compounds its twelve monthly returns from UTC daily closes, with the current year riding as a year-to-date row until it closes. BNB's data starts at its perpetual listing in early 2020. Backed by exchange cash flows and periodic burns, it has historically fallen less in bad stretches and lagged the wildest rallies.
BNB is down 13.2% year-to-date in 2026, compounding 9 completed months plus October to date, through the daily close of 10 October 2026 (UTC). The YTD chip stays provisional until the year closes.
BNB returned +23.2% over calendar 2025, from the 2024 close to the 2025 close. Its best month was July at +19.3% and its worst November at −19.6%.
BNB's completed calendar years on Coinfuty: 2017 +7,396%, 2018 −28.6%, 2019 +122.7%, 2020 +170.3%, 2021 +1,279%, 2022 −51.9%, 2023 +26.5%, 2024 +125.5%, 2025 +23.2%. 7 of 9 years closed positive, and 2026 is down 13.2% so far.
The median completed year for BNB is +122.7%, across 9 full years on record. The median is used instead of the mean because BNB's yearly results are extreme in both directions, and one outlier year would distort a simple average.
BNB's best completed year on record is 2017 at +7,396% and its worst is 2022 at −51.9%. Both are compounded from monthly returns, so they match what a position held through the entire year would have earned.
Noticeably steadier — its typical year avoids both the triple-digit gains and the deep collapses that define the high-beta cohort. The 2021 row is the outlier that did most of its lifetime work.
BNB's history here begins at its first daily perpetual-futures candle on Binance in early 2020, and each row needs a calendar year — so the table is exactly as deep as its perpetual history and grows as years close.
Because returns compound. A +10% month followed by a −10% month leaves −1%, not 0%. The yearly totals multiply the monthly factors together, which is what a held position would have earned.
