Binance spot grid · TAO/USDT · 2026-07-11 to 2026-10-09
We launched a TAO/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 TAO the grid bought at the start.
In this period the ±20% range with 20 levels beat holding TAO most often: in 71% of weekly launches. That's history, not a recommendation. Holding TAO itself returned a median +0.09% per week in this period.
