The part the calculator does not show you
Held from the first day in this data to the last, SKY returned 0.817× — a loss of 18.3%. 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 SKY down 46.2%, from $0.07771 on 19 September 2025 to $0.0418 on 23 November 2025 — 2 months of falling. Getting back to that peak took a further 4 months, reached on 11 March 2026. Add those together and the round trip was 6 months — the length of time someone who bought at the top had to hold before they were merely even again.
One caveat specific to SKY: 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.
70.2% annualised volatility is at the calmer end for this market, which says more about SKY's short record than about its risk. All SKY calculators →
Frequently asked questions
＋Would buying SKY on the first day of this data and holding have made money?
No. Held across the whole window the position ended at 0.817× — a loss of 18.3%. That is worth stating plainly because "hold long enough and it recovers" is the usual advice, and over the 12 months we hold for SKY it did not happen.
＋What is the worst SKY has fallen?
46.2% in this data, from 19 September 2025 down to 23 November 2025 — 2 months of falling. It took a further 4 months to get back to that peak, on 11 March 2026, so the full round trip was 6 months. Bear in mind our SKY series starts in 2025; a deeper fall before that date would not appear here.
＋How much time does SKY spend below its previous high?
57.3% 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 SKY's best and worst years?
2026 was the best at +9.3% (a partial year in our data), and 2025 the worst at -21.6% (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 SKY 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 SKY
SKY tracks demand for USDS and the protocol's collateral income, and reacts to governance decisions about the savings rate.
SKY is an Ethereum token and costs ordinary Ethereum gas to move; converting between MKR and SKY, or DAI and USDS, is a contract call with the same cost profile.
A backtest is one path that already happened. It shows what this plan produced through the exact sequence of prices SKY went through — not what a similar plan will produce through a sequence nobody has seen yet.
