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 Litecoin (LTC)'s history on Coinfuty as a single compounded annual return, next to its month-by-month texture. Read top to bottom, LTC's yearly rows compress cycle by cycle — each rally year less saturated than the equivalent row one cycle earlier. It is the grid's cleanest record of a maturing asset ceding beta to the market leader.
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. LTC's data starts at its perpetual listing in early 2020. Each cycle's rally rows are less saturated than the last as capital concentrated into Bitcoin — a fading echo, at every grain.
Litecoin is down 28.5% year-to-date in 2026, compounding 9 completed months plus October to date, through the daily close of 31 October 2026 (UTC). The YTD chip stays provisional until the year closes.
Litecoin returned −25.5% over calendar 2025, from the 2024 close to the 2025 close. Its best month was January at +24.2% and its worst March at −35.1%.
Litecoin's completed calendar years on Coinfuty: 2013 +466.2%, 2014 −88.8%, 2015 +28.0%, 2016 +24.3%, 2017 +5,266%, 2018 −86.9%, 2019 +35.7%, 2020 +202.0%, 2021 +17.1%, 2022 −52.1%, 2023 +3.9%, 2024 +41.5%, 2025 −25.5%. 9 of 13 years closed positive, and 2026 is down 28.5% so far.
The median completed year for Litecoin is +24.3%, across 13 full years on record. The median is used instead of the mean because Litecoin's yearly results are extreme in both directions, and one outlier year would distort a simple average.
Litecoin's best completed year on record is 2017 at +5,266% and its worst is 2014 at −88.8%. Both are compounded from monthly returns, so they match what a position held through the entire year would have earned.
Its monthly moves compressed as it matured and lost narrative share to Bitcoin and newer alts. The yearly rows record that decay directly — same market direction, less amplitude each cycle.
LTC'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.
