Crypto vs BTC
0 of 3 crypto headliners beat BTC over the last year (1 of 3 over six months, 1 of 3 over three). Every line is measured against the benchmark itself, so the zero line is BTC.
Weekly closes through 2026-10-29. The zero line is the benchmark: a name "beats" when its total return over the window is higher than BTC's. Rebuilt every morning.
Total return
| Name | 6M | vs bench | 1Y | vs bench | 3Y | vs bench | Since |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BTC benchmark | -1.7% | 0 | -22.9% | 0 | +130.3% | 0 | — |
| ETH | -1.8% | -0.1 | -35.1% | -12.2 | +22.8% | -107.5 | 2021-10 |
| SOL | +3.9% | +5.6 | -39.1% | -16.2 | +143.0% | +12.7 | 2021-10 |
| XRP | -12.9% | -11.2 | -45.8% | -22.9 | +94.0% | -36.3 | 2021-10 |
A name whose history starts inside a window is measured from its first bar, not the window start — the "Since" column says where. Its "vs bench" (marked *) compares it with BTC over that same shorter span.

How calls are checked
Every call is checked on the firm's own terms. A price target is followed until its own deadline (12 months unless the firm publishes a different horizon) and ends as reached (the stock closed at or beyond it while it stood), replaced (the same firm set a new target first) or short at deadline. A rating is compared with the stock's sector SPDR ETF on total return over the rating's life, because most big-firm ratings are relative: Overweight means "beat its peers", not "go up". Hold-type ratings are tracked, not graded. A firm is numbered only with 30+ resolved targets, and a letter prints only for a firm's whole record where an exact test separates it from a coin flip. None of this is a verdict on anyone's skill, and one day is never a grade. The full method →
