Solana and XRP outshine Bitcoin CAGR as digital assets diverge in profit potential.

Bitcoin’s four-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) has dropped to its lowest point ever, now at 14.45%.

CAGR measures the average annual return an asset generates over a specified period. It is calculated by assessing the return on investment (ROI) between two points and determining the annualized compounded return.

For BTC, a four-year holding period now results in an average yearly return of 14.45% — the lowest on record.
