Objectively compare the performance of different cryptocurrencies.
While not ROI itself, understanding price change is a step towards calculating your actual Return on Investment.
The Simple Math Behind It
We use the standard formula:
Percentage Change = ((Final Price - Initial Price) / Initial Price) * 100A positive result means a gain, negative means a loss.
Example Scenario
Suppose Ethereum's price was $2,000 (Initial Price) and it rose to $2,500 (Final Price).
Percentage Change = (($2,500 - $2,000) / $2,000) * 100
= ($500 / $2,000) * 100
= 0.25 * 100 = 25% Increase
