HTXdearestKusama: the road down from its high
Kusama trades at $3.08 today — −99.5% from its $625.0 high set in May 2021. A fall that deep means something simple: returning to that level would take a 203× rise.
From low to high

The deepest KSM drawdown
The deepest fall on monthly closes was −99.4%: from the peak in March 2021 to the bottom in July 2026, taking 64 months. A useful number: it shows what holding through would have meant.
How long since the high

Does KSM have a seasonal pattern
Which month Kusama rose in most often
On average KSM did best in November: +36.9% across 6 observations, 4 of them positive. It did worst in June: −27.1% across 6 observations.
Why the number of observations beats the average percentage
We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 6 observations is 6 observations: on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from coincidence. Interesting to look at, not something to plan around.
How to use this
What these numbers do not say
Everything above is the past. It does not say where the price goes next, but it does show the range to be ready for: $2.79 to $625.0, with a drawdown of −99.4%.
Where to check the KSM price across exchanges
What is useful right now comes down to three things, all of them computed from live data rather than history.
The KSM price gap between exchanges
KSM costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner: it shows where the coin is cheaper and where it is dearer right now.
How much KSM you can actually buy at that price
Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer.
Moving KSM between platforms
And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
