Compare up to four crypto assets on the same indexed chart. Each series starts at 100, so the line shows percentage change—not misleading unit prices.

USD and USDT series remain labelled. A USDT-quoted asset is not silently converted into a U.S.-dollar market.
One coin trading at $1 is not automatically cheaper than one trading at $60,000. Supply, issuance, network control, liquidity, and market size are different. Indexing each line to 100 asks the narrower question: how did each quoted market move over this window?
Open the Bitcoin supply explorer, then use each linked cryptocurrency price profile to compare issuance and control.
A BTC/USD line and an altcoin/USDT line come from different markets. USDT aims at one U.S. dollar but can trade above or below that target. Thin markets can also have wider spreads and unreliable candles.
Return compares first and last closes. Volatility uses daily log returns. Drawdown measures the deepest fall from an earlier peak. Learn more in the Bitcoin volatility tool.
Starting every line at 100 makes percentage paths comparable, but it does not make the assets economically or technically equivalent.
Every series needs the same start and end dates. A newer asset may have less history, while an illiquid market may contain missing or unreliable candles.
Performance cannot show issuance, validator or miner structure, administrator keys, bridge dependence, reserve backing, or governance concentration.
