The part the calculator does not show you
Held from the first day in this data to the last, FET returned 0.47× — a loss of 53%. Long holding periods are usually presented as the thing that rescues a volatile asset, and over this particular window for this particular coin, they did not. It is worth setting the calculator above to the full range and seeing that result written out before assuming time fixes an entry.
The deepest fall took FET down 97.8%, from $0.4426 on 1 March 2019 to $0.00987 on 16 March 2020 — 13 months of falling. Getting back to that peak took a further 12 months, reached on 8 March 2021. Add those together and the round trip was 2 years — the length of time someone who bought at the top had to hold before they were merely even again.
At 135.9% annualised volatility, FET sits in the top band of anything on this site — the drawdown figures above, not the average, are the number to plan around. All FET calculators →
Frequently asked questions
＋Would buying FET on the first day of this data and holding have made money?
No. Held across the whole window the position ended at 0.47× — a loss of 53%. That is worth stating plainly because "hold long enough and it recovers" is the usual advice, and over the 7 years and 7 months we hold for FET it did not happen.
＋What is the worst FET has fallen?
97.8% in this data, from 1 March 2019 down to 16 March 2020 — 13 months of falling. It took a further 12 months to get back to that peak, on 8 March 2021, so the full round trip was 2 years. Bear in mind our FET series starts in 2019; a deeper fall before that date would not appear here.
＋How often does FET lose half its value?
4 separate falls of 50% or more appear in this data, and the position spent 94.7% of all days more than 20% below a previous peak. A drop of that size is not an exceptional event for this asset — it is a recurring feature of the record, which is the thing to size a position around.
＋What were FET's best and worst years?
2021 was the best at +842.2%, and 2025 the worst at -84.9%. The gap between those two is the reason a single average annual return is a poor description of this asset: almost nobody experiences the average, they experience one of the two extremes depending on when they bought.
＋Is 7 years and 7 months of data enough to trust this backtest?
Reasonably. 7 years and 7 months spans roughly one full cycle for FET — enough for the drawdown figure to mean something, not enough to call it a pattern. The assets here with a decade or more behind them support firmer conclusions.
What to keep in mind for FET
FET is one of the most direct AI-narrative proxies in crypto and moves hard on AI news that has nothing to do with the protocol itself.
Fees on the Fetch.ai chain are negligible, but FET also exists as an ERC-20 — moving that version costs Ethereum gas, so check which one you are holding.
A backtest is one path that already happened. It shows what this plan produced through the exact sequence of prices FET went through — not what a similar plan will produce through a sequence nobody has seen yet.
