On-chain data shows the Bitcoin NUPL metric has now declined to lows not seen since the COVID-19 crash back in 2020. Bitcoin Net Unrealized Profit And Loss Plunged Down Recently As explained by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the NUPL past trend may suggest that current values could be favorable for a rebound in the crypto’s price. The “net unrealized profit and loss,” or NUPL in brief, is an indicator that’s defined as the difference between the current Bitcoin market cap and its realized cap, divided by the market cap. The “realized cap” checks what price each coin on the chain was last moved at, and using these prices it calculates the crypto’s capitalization (while the normal market cap takes the sum of all coins’ value at the current price). What this metric tells us is whether the BTC market participants as a whole are holding a profit or a loss at the moment. When the value of the ratio is above zero, it means the overall market is in profit currently. On the other hand, values less than zero imply holders are carrying a loss right now.

Bitcoin Dominance: Traders Preferring The OG To Dogecoin & Other Altcoins
On-chain data suggests Bitcoin has recently experienced an influx of investors while Dogecoin, Cardano, and other altcoins have seen a slowdown. Bitcoin Total Amount Of Holders Rise While Altcoins See Flat Movement According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the number of Bitcoin investors has sharply increased recently. The on-chain metric of interest here is the “Total Amount of Holders,” which keeps track of the total number of addresses on a given network carrying some non-zero balance. When the value of this indicator goes up for any asset, it can be due to several things. The first and most obvious contributor to this trend would be adoption, as a fresh influx of users would naturally create more addresses. Related Reading: This Bitcoin Metric Foreshadowed Recent Price Drops, Quant Reveals Another contributor could be old investors returning to reinvest in the coin after selling out their balance earlier. The indicator would also increase when investors spread out their holdings among multiple wallets for reasons like privacy. In general, some net adoption occurs whenever the Total Amount of Holders goes up. Historically, adoption has been a constructive sign for any blockchain in the long term. Naturally, when this metric’s value goes down, it implies that some investors have decided to exit from the cryptocurrency as they have completely cleaned out their wallets. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Total Amount of Holders for some of the top assets in the sector: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Chainlink (LINK). How the number of investors has changed for some of the top cryptos | Source: Santiment on X As displayed in the graph, Dogecoin started 2024 with some rapid adoption as its Total Amount of Holders had been observing a sharp uptrend. However, this growth only lasted for the first couple of months, as the metric has since flattened for the memecoin. Other altcoins like Chainlink and Cardano have also witnessed flat action in the metric in this period. The trend had been just the opposite for Bitcoin, where more or less flat movement had occurred in its number of investors earlier in the year, but the asset has seen some uptrend in the metric this month. It’s possible that investors were previously attracted to Dogecoin and other networks, but now that markets have been undergoing bearish price action, traders are back to preferring the original cryptocurrency. Overall, DOGE’s holders are still up 13.8% in the past three months, while BTC’s growth stands at 2.6%. Naturally, the latter’s userbase is also larger, so a relatively small percentage could be due to that.

BTC Price Bitcoin has been struggling to make any recovery run count recently, as its price is back at $63,000 after the latest failed attempt.

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu Rival Homo Dogecoin (HODOGE) to Explode Over 8,000% Amid MEXC Listing
