Crypto crash: Here’s how much $1,000 invested at the peak is worth today

Bitcoin was down more than 8% in mid-morning trading, while Ethereum fell 11%, and Cardano was off 7%. While we’re only a week into the year, all major cryptos are in negative territory in 2022.

That could spook investors, many of whom hopped on the crypto train last year as prices spiked. (Bitcoin, for instance, saw its price double last year at one point.)

Volatility is a constant risk in the crypto world, but the past two months have driven that home for some investors. Only one crypto has shown gains in that time.

But what about the people who invested right at the peak of these cryptos? We got curious about the impact on those investors. (All prices are as of 10:00 a.m. ET on Thursday.)
