Today in addition: v3 with one borrowable asset per market, and in 2026 a market for institutional participants.
Notable: The first protocol to distribute a governance token to its users.
Strength: A long run of trouble-free operation.

This asset is not in the sector barometer.

Where the price stands today between its two endpoints — logarithmic, because orders of magnitude lie in between.

The four cycles

Measured on daily closing prices, never on daily highs or lows. The cycle boundaries are Bitcoin’s own highest and lowest daily closes: January 14, 2015, December 16, 2017, December 15, 2018, November 8, 2021, November 21, 2022, October 6, 2025 and the current low on June 30, 2026. A day counts only if at least ten thousand dollars were traded on it. The price against Bitcoin is given in satoshi — one satoshi is one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.

The fifteen largest centralized exchanges by the CoinMarketCap ranking were counted, as of September 5, 2026. Decentralized exchanges do not count. Bybit is not included in any figure, because the venue was not reachable through sixteen address forms. Which five venues are the best for each asset has not been collected yet.

Finding

For this asset the summarized finding has not yet been transferred to this page. The individual reasons for all twelve criteria are in the assessment file Follow-up A2, September 4, 2026.

Investors and partners: not researched — awards no points, because projects with large backers did not perform better.

Nexo: Carried by Nexo — purchase page documented on September 1, 2026.

No investment advice, no price forecast, no buy or sell recommendation. A high score does not mean “will rise”. It means the asset scores better on these questions than the others.
