Crypto Returns in 2023
The 2023 return of each coin on this site's returns list, measured on its Binance spot USDT market from the 31 Dec 2022 daily close to the 31 Dec 2023 daily close (UTC). Only coins with every daily candle of the year are ranked.
21 of 22 coins with a complete 2023 closed it above the previous year-end close (median +103.3%, 31 Dec 2022 close to 31 Dec 2023 close). Best: Injective (+2,704%); worst: Zcash (-27.83%). 4 coins were listed during 2023 or have gaps in the daily record, and are listed separately without a rank.
Survivorship limit. These are the 40 coins this site covers today on Binance spot, not the full market as it stood in 2023: coins that were delisted or lost their place since are not here, and the ranking is not a complete list of 2023 winners and losers.

How it is measured. Each return is the 31 Dec 2023 daily close divided by the 31 Dec 2022 daily close, minus one, the same close-to-close year as the yearly table on each coin's returns page. The annual price pages (for example 2023 prices) instead show the first daily open of the year to its last close, so their figure can differ slightly. A coin is ranked only when all 2023 daily candles and the prior year-end close are present; one listed during the year, or with missing days, is in the partial table, without a rank.
Coverage: 22 complete, 4 partial, 14 with no 2023 candles (listed later: Hyperliquid, Ethena, ASTER, Pump.fun, Bittensor, World Liberty Financial, Ondo, Tether Gold, LayerZero, Official Trump, Plasma, Aerodrome Finance, GRAM, Pudgy Penguins). Coins without data are left out, not counted as losses. Source: Binance spot USDT daily candles (public API). Not financial advice.
