A year of buying DAO
Over the last 364 days DAO closed between $0.019250 (August 18, 2026) and $0.1261 (September 9, 2025). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $119 today; at the high, $18. The current price $0.022820 is above 24 of those 364 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 7% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves DAO by 5.4%: a $1,000 position swings about $54 a day.
