Over the same window, ETH advanced from about $350–400 to around $3.2k–3.6k, materially outperforming major equities on a total return basis (source: CoinMarketCap ETH historical data; Yahoo Finance ETH historical data). SOL climbed from roughly $1–3 in 2020 to about $140–160 by October 2024, delivering outsized gains relative to most risk assets (source: CoinMarketCap SOL historical data; Yahoo Finance SOL historical data).
