Binance spot grid · SOL/USDT · 2026-07-11 to 2026-10-09
We launched a SOL/USDT spot grid every day for the last 90 days, each running 7 days, with ranges centred on the price at launch. Each run is compared with simply holding the SOL the grid bought at the start.
In this period the ±10% range with 10 levels beat holding SOL most often: in 67% of weekly launches. That's history, not a recommendation. Holding SOL itself returned a median +0.62% per week in this period.
