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 Dogecoin (DOGE)'s history on Coinfuty as a single compounded annual return, next to its month-by-month texture. One row towers over Dogecoin's yearly column: 2021, when the squeezes compounded into a total few assets have ever printed. Every other year reads as the long tail of that event — cooldowns, bleeds and occasional revival rows.
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. DOGE's data starts at its perpetual listing in mid 2020. The 2021 squeeze months remain among the largest monthly returns of any large cap tracked here, surrounded by long cooldowns.
Dogecoin is down 26.7% 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.
Dogecoin returned −62.8% over calendar 2025, from the 2024 close to the 2025 close. Its best month was July at +27.0% and its worst February at −38.7%.
Dogecoin's completed calendar years on Coinfuty: 2013 −24.4%, 2014 −55.8%, 2015 −19.1%, 2016 +48.0%, 2017 +3,915%, 2018 −73.9%, 2019 −13.5%, 2020 +128.0%, 2021 +3,582%, 2022 −58.8%, 2023 +27.6%, 2024 +252.5%, 2025 −62.8%. 6 of 13 years closed positive, and 2026 is down 26.7% so far.
The median completed year for Dogecoin is −13.5%, across 13 full years on record. The median is used instead of the mean because Dogecoin's yearly results are extreme in both directions, and one outlier year would distort a simple average.
Dogecoin's best completed year on record is 2017 at +3,915% and its worst is 2018 at −73.9%. Both are compounded from monthly returns, so they match what a position held through the entire year would have earned.
2021 by a wide margin — the January and April squeezes compounded into its defining annual total. The month strip beside the row shows how few months did nearly all of the work.
DOGE's history here begins at its first daily perpetual-futures candle on Binance in mid 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.
