Return on investment (ROI) is a very straightforward financial indicator utilized to gauge the profit or loss of an investment in relation to the initial amount invested. It shows, in percentage terms, whether an investment has increased, decreased, or not changed significantly. ROI has become a universal term in traditional finance, business making decisions, and the crypto market due to its simplicity and availability of performance data.

The way to calculate ROI is to take the present value of the investment and deduct the original amount paid for it. After that, the remaining is divided by the cost of the investment all times 100 to get the percentage. To illustrate with an example, suppose an investment of $1,000 has been made in a cryptocurrency, and its value grows to $1,300, then the profit would equal $300. Now, the ROI will be 30%. On the other hand, if the value decreases to $700, then the ROI will be 30%, indicating a loss.

ROI is the metric to compare and choose between different investments for the investors. The situation is similar in the case of cryptocurrency where ROI is used to assess the whole process of holding funds for a long period, staking, and yield-generating strategies.

ROI may be easy to compute, however, it does not take into account time, risk, or price fluctuations. Yet, it continues to be among the most popular measures for the success of an investment.
