The part the calculator does not show you
Held from the first day in this data to the last, SUI returned 0.515× — a loss of 48.5%. 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 SUI down 87.7%, from $5.29 on 4 January 2025 to $0.6517 on 18 August 2026 — 19 months of falling. SUI has not been back to that peak since. Anyone who bought on 4 January 2025 is still waiting, 21 months later — which is the scenario a backtest showing a positive average return quietly averages away.
102.4% annualised volatility is ordinary for a major crypto asset and still several times a stock index. All SUI calculators →
Frequently asked questions
＋Would buying SUI on the first day of this data and holding have made money?
No. Held across the whole window the position ended at 0.515× — a loss of 48.5%. That is worth stating plainly because "hold long enough and it recovers" is the usual advice, and over the 3 years and 4 months we hold for SUI it did not happen.
＋What is the worst SUI has fallen?
87.7% in this data, from 4 January 2025 down to 18 August 2026 — 19 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 SUI series starts in 2023; a deeper fall before that date would not appear here.
＋How often does SUI lose half its value?
3 separate falls of 50% or more appear in this data, and the position spent 83.1% 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 SUI's best and worst years?
2024 was the best at +388.6%, and 2025 the worst at -67.2%. 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 3 years and 4 months of data enough to trust this backtest?
Partly. 3 years and 4 months covers real bull and bear conditions for SUI but not a full cycle end to end, so the extremes above are better guides than the average. Coins on this site with longer records give more meaningful answers.
What to keep in mind for SUI
As a younger asset with scheduled unlocks, SUI can face supply-driven pressure on top of ordinary market risk.
Sui fees are low and paid in SUI, with a storage-fund mechanism that rebates part of the cost when you delete on-chain data.
A backtest is one path that already happened. It shows what this plan produced through the exact sequence of prices SUI went through — not what a similar plan will produce through a sequence nobody has seen yet.
