The part the calculator does not show you
Kaspa has a particular shape in this data: its highest close is the very first one we hold, on 14 September 2025, and the 71.8% fall from it is not an event inside the series — it is the series. Any start date you pick above sits somewhere on that decline, which is why almost every plan you can configure here comes back negative. That is not a flaw in the backtest. It is what buying and holding KAS over this window did.
One caveat specific to KAS: we only hold 12 months of daily closes for it, which is not enough to cover a full cycle. Any result the calculator gives you is a statement about one short stretch of an unusually eventful market, and the confidence you can place in it is correspondingly low. The coins on this site with six or more years of history give far more meaningful answers.
Note that KAS's best calendar year in this window is still a negative one (2026, -18.5%). There is no year in the data where holding it for the twelve months made money.
At 174.2% annualised volatility, KAS sits in the top band of anything on this site — the drawdown figures above, not the average, are the number to plan around. All KAS calculators →
Frequently asked questions
＋Would buying KAS on the first day of this data and holding have made money?
No. Held across the whole window the position ended at 0.391× — a loss of 60.9%. That is worth stating plainly because "hold long enough and it recovers" is the usual advice, and over the 12 months we hold for KAS it did not happen.
＋What is the worst KAS has fallen?
71.8% in this data, from 14 September 2025 down to 14 August 2026 — 11 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 KAS series starts in 2025; a deeper fall before that date would not appear here.
＋How much time does KAS spend below its previous high?
92.6% of all days in this window sat more than 20% below a previous peak. Put another way, for most of the time you would have owned it, the screen showed a number lower than one you had already seen — which is the part of a backtest's headline return that the headline never conveys.
＋What were KAS's best and worst years?
2026 was the best at -18.5% (a partial year in our data), and 2025 the worst at -51% (also partial). 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 12 months of data enough to trust this backtest?
No, and that is the honest answer for KAS specifically. 12 months does not cover a full market cycle, so any result here describes one short stretch rather than a pattern. Treat it as a record of what happened, not as evidence about what tends to happen.
What to keep in mind for KAS
KAS trades thinly relative to its market cap and has had violent moves in both directions on listing news.
Fees are negligible. KAS is not listed on Binance, so liquidity is spread across smaller venues — check depth before assuming you can exit a large position at the screen price.
A backtest is one path that already happened. It shows what this plan produced through the exact sequence of prices KAS went through — not what a similar plan will produce through a sequence nobody has seen yet.
