The part the calculator does not show you
Held from the first day in this data to the last, CHZ returned 1.77×. That headline is the easy part. The number underneath it is that the position spent 95.9% of all days more than 20% below a previous peak — so for most of the time you owned it, you were looking at a figure lower than one you had already seen.
The deepest fall took CHZ down 98.5%, from $0.77 on 16 April 2021 to $0.0119 on 18 August 2026 — 5 years and 4 months of falling. CHZ has not been back to that peak since. Anyone who bought on 16 April 2021 is still waiting, 20 months later — which is the scenario a backtest showing a positive average return quietly averages away.
At 126.5% annualised volatility, CHZ sits in the top band of anything on this site — the drawdown figures above, not the average, are the number to plan around. All CHZ calculators →
Frequently asked questions
＋Would buying CHZ on the first day of this data and holding have made money?
Yes — 1.77× from 6 September 2019 to 13 September 2026. The figure is real but it is also the single luckiest entry available in this window, and it required holding through a fall of 98.5% on the way. Set the calculator to a date you might plausibly have chosen instead and the answer usually changes a great deal.
＋What is the worst CHZ has fallen?
98.5% in this data, from 16 April 2021 down to 18 August 2026 — 5 years and 4 months of falling. It has not returned to that peak since, so anyone who bought at the top is still waiting. Bear in mind our CHZ series starts in 2019; a deeper fall before that date would not appear here.
＋How often does CHZ lose half its value?
4 separate falls of 50% or more appear in this data, and the position spent 95.9% 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 CHZ's best and worst years?
2021 was the best at +1,266.5%, and 2022 the worst at -66%. 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 of data enough to trust this backtest?
Reasonably. 7 years spans roughly one full cycle for CHZ — 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 CHZ
CHZ has a long history of moving on sporting calendars and new club partnerships, then giving it back — it is a seasonal asset more than most.
Chiliz Chain transactions are cheap; the real cost in this ecosystem is the spread on the fan tokens themselves, which trade far more thinly than CHZ.
A backtest is one path that already happened. It shows what this plan produced through the exact sequence of prices CHZ went through — not what a similar plan will produce through a sequence nobody has seen yet.
