US-based cryptocurrency exchange Gemini recently shared a post regarding Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL) and many altcoins.
Comparing 5-year returns, Gemini revealed that XRP surpassed Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum, Chainlink (LINK), Litecoin (LTC).
In a post published by Gemini on his X account, he compared the five-year returns of several popular cryptocurrencies, including XRP.
According to Gemini, a $1,000 investment in XRP five years ago had reached nearly $10,700 as of September 25, a tenfold increase. At XRP’s peak of $3.65 in July, the same investment would have been worth about $13,750.
While XRP investors could see significant gains from their $1,000 investment five years ago, Gemini data paints a less impressive picture for LINK and LTC.
According to the data, a $1,000 investment in LINK five years ago yielded only $1,940, while an investment in LTC yielded $1,260. This represents less than a two-fold return.
According to the table, the investment made in Ethereum 5 years ago reached $10,104 today, while the $1,000 investment made in Bitcoin reached $9,310.
Dogecoin (DOGE) and Solana (SOL) saw the biggest returns. A $1,000 investment made five years ago yielded $85,220 in DOGE and $62,910 in SOL.
