bigoneCurve DAO: the road down from its high
Curve DAO trades at $0.2875 today — −95.8% from its $6.80 high set in January 2022. A fall that deep means something simple: returning to that level would take a 24× rise.
From low to high
Over 6 years the price of Curve DAO has moved between $0.1700 and $6.80. The low came in June 2026, the high in January 2022. From the bottom the price has risen 1.7× — which is what someone would have made buying at the worst possible moment and holding to today.
The deepest fall on monthly closes was −96.5%: from the peak in December 2021 to the bottom in June 2026, taking 54 months. A useful number: it shows what holding through would have meant.
It has been 58 months since that high, and the price has not returned to it.
What the years show
The best full year was 2021 at +748%. The worst was 2022 at −90.1%. Of 5 full years, 3 closed up and 2 closed down.
Rising years outnumber falling ones — but the spread between the best and worst year matters more than the count: that is what tells you what to be ready for.
The current year stands at −20.0%, ranging from $0.1700 to $0.4578.
Months: how many closed up
Of 73 closed months, 28 finished up and 45 finished down — 38% of months were rising ones. The average month returned +5.6%.
The strongest month on record was January 2021 at +301%; the hardest was September 2020 at −78.1%.
Does CRV have a seasonal pattern
On average CRV did best in January: +49.9% across 6 observations, 2 of them positive. It did worst in June: −23.1% across 6 observations.
We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 6 observations is 6 observations: on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from coincidence. Interesting to look at, not something to plan around.
How to use this
Everything above is the past. It does not say where the price goes next, but it does show the range to be ready for: $0.1700 to $6.80, with a drawdown of −96.5%.
What is useful right now is this: CRV costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner. Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer. And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
