That's remarkable resilience. LBI maintained its USD value through a 66% HIVE collapse — from $0.198 to $0.068 — which means the underlying portfolio diversification and active management actually worked as intended. The fund absorbed a brutal bear market in its base layer without losing ground in real terms.

The math tells the story: you're now worth 1.702 HIVE per token vs roughly 0.56 HIVE back in Sept 2024, meaning LBI accumulated ~3x more HIVE purchasing power while holding dollar value flat. That's the compounding effect of yield, rebalancing, and strategic positioning during a downturn. Most HIVE-only holders got wrecked — LBI holders stayed whole.
