Bitcoin Achieves a Historic High with Realized Cap Soaring to 540 Billion Dollars

According to the latest insights from Glassnode, an onchain analytics firm, the market is currently brimming with liquidity, witnessing a resurgence of dormant supply.

Noteworthy is the prevailing trend of profit-taking among investors, with the dominance of profits shifting from short-term to long-term bitcoin holders.

If we segregate the #Bitcoin Realized Cap for coin-ages younger than 3 months, we can see a sharp increase over recent months, with these newer investors now owning ~44% of the aggregate network wealth.

As these profits are realized, coins transition from lower-cost bases to higher ones, a phenomenon Glassnode interprets as indicative of renewed demand and liquidity in bitcoin. Realized Cap, a metric devised to gauge market capitalization by valuing each unspent transaction output (UTXO) based on its last movement price, stands as a key indicator in this regard. Essentially, it reflects the realized value of all coins within the network rather than their present market worth.

With Realized Cap valuing each coin at its last movement price, it serves as a proxy for the stored or saved value within the asset.

Currently, the Realized Cap metric has reached an unprecedented $540 billion and is witnessing a monthly increase of $79 billion.
