On this day 5 years ago, $10,000 worth of Bitcoin would be worth about $10,600 today. The same amount invested in BNB would have roughly preserved its principal.
Recently, someone on X ran the numbers: If you had bought $10,000 worth of crypto on November 14, 2021, how much would you have left today? We recalculated using Binance spot data, with the purchase price based on the opening price on November 14, 2021, and the current price based on around 08:50 on November 14, 2026 (UTC+8).
Bitcoin was about $64,380 back then and is now around $68,350. The $10,000 would have grown to about $10,600, a gain of roughly 6% over 5 years. BNB was around $649 back then and is now about $631, leaving roughly $9,700—pretty much breaking even.
Other coins didn't fare as well: XRP would be worth about $8,500, ETH about $4,200, SOL about $3,200, and DOGE about $2,500. ADA and AVAX would be worth just over $800, while DOT would be worth only about $170.
By comparison, PAXG, which tracks the price of gold, rose from about $1,873 to around $3,880, turning $10,000 into roughly $20,700.
It's worth noting that November 2021 was right at the peak of the previous bull market. Bitcoin had set a then-all-time high just days earlier, so buying at that point would not have worked out well for anyone. Still, from the same starting point, Bitcoin and BNB preserved their principal, while many altcoins lost 80% to 90% of their value—a clear difference.
As for market prices, at 08:50 on November 14 (UTC+8), Binance spot BTC was around $68,350, down about 3.8% over 24 hours; BNB was around $631, down about 3.6% over 24 hours.
