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 Solana (SOL)'s history on Coinfuty as a single compounded annual return, next to its month-by-month texture. SOL's yearly column is a study in extremes: with fewer complete years than the majors, single years dominate every aggregate, and its best and worst years sit near the edges of what large caps have printed. The loss/gain bars make both visible on one axis.
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. SOL's data starts at its perpetual listing in September 2020. Few years of data pack in several full cycles — the 2021 vertical rally, the 2022 collapse around FTX, and the recovery that unwound much of it.
Solana is down 11.7% 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.
Solana returned −34.2% over calendar 2025, from the 2024 close to the 2025 close. Its best month was January at +22.4% and its worst February at −36.1%.
Solana's completed calendar years on Coinfuty: 2020 +74.6%, 2021 +11,599%, 2022 −94.1%, 2023 +921.0%, 2024 +85.9%, 2025 −34.2%. 4 of 6 years closed positive, and 2026 is down 11.7% so far.
The median completed year for Solana is +80.3%, across 6 full years on record. The median is used instead of the mean because Solana's yearly results are extreme in both directions, and one outlier year would distort a simple average.
Solana's best completed year on record is 2021 at +11,599% and its worst is 2022 at −94.1%. Both are compounded from monthly returns, so they match what a position held through the entire year would have earned.
Scan the RETURN column for the deepest red row — 2022, the year of the FTX collapse, stands out in SOL's grid. The month strip next to it shows the damage concentrated late in the year.
SOL's history here begins at its first daily perpetual-futures candle on Binance in September 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.
