Year to Date (YTD)

Year to Date (YTD) is a time period that starts from the first day of the current calendar year (January 1st) up to the present date. In crypto and financial markets, YTD performance shows how much an asset's price has changed since the beginning of the year. For example, if Bitcoin started the year at $40,000 and is currently at $60,000, its YTD return would be +50%. YTD is a standard metric used to compare performance across different assets and time periods.
