The 2026 figure of $74,045 is about 27% below 2025. As the year is not over, it reflects only the days so far. The data is the average of daily Coinbase prices for each year, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED), in current US dollars. Yearly averages smooth out big swings within a year, so they are not the same as daily highs, lows or year-end prices. This is historical data, not a forecast.
