What happened to Kusama
Kusama reached $621.71 5 years ago. It now trades at $3.6 — a decline of 99.4% from that peak. $1,000 bought at the high would be worth $5.79 today.
Returning to the previous high from here would take a gain of 173x. That figure is arithmetic, not a forecast: it is simply the peak divided by the current price.
One limitation is worth stating plainly. Coingraph holds 2 years of daily prices for KSM, and the all-time high falls before that window opens. The peak above is the figure reported by the market data provider; the chart on this page cannot show it. Within the 2 years held, the range runs from $2.87 to $50.46.
How KSM is rated
Kusama scores 3 out of 100, which places it in the Dormant band — the inputs show sustained decline with little trading activity behind it. A higher score means a healthier reading. The score starts at 100 and each measured factor deducts from it.
The deductions for KSM are: price decline, 50 points (down 99.4% from its all-time high of $621.71); volume decay, 24 points (trading volume is 96% below its busiest sustained stretch); market cap erosion, 13 points (market cap down 90% from $666.75M); time below peak, 10 points (1,925 days since the peak).
Is KSM moving on its own?
From its lowest close in the 2 years held — $2.87 — KSM has gained 25.5%, a 1.3x move off that floor. Coingraph reads this as flat.
Over the last 30 days KSM moved +15.8% against the wider market's +22.9% — moving broadly in line with the wider market. This distinction matters more than the headline number: a coin rising only when everything rises is being carried, and that is a different situation from one climbing on its own demand.
KSM market position
KSM has a market capitalisation of $67.42M, ranking 352 by size, on 24-hour trading volume of $14.81M.
Daily turnover — volume as a share of market cap — is 22.0%. Turnover is what tells you whether a price is real: a coin can hold a large nominal valuation while almost nothing changes hands, and a price set by very few trades is one that moves sharply when anyone sizeable arrives.
Annualised volatility from daily returns is 100%. Coingraph rates overall risk Elevated on these inputs.
