Bitcoin’s realized cap has increased by more than 50 percent or $43 million

In this post:

  • Bitcoin’s realized cap increased by over $43 million
  • Ethereum had a new realized cap low of $22.4 billion in April 2020
  • This data is more accurate for the long-term investors

Data from Glassnode shows Bitcoin’s realized cap is $43 million over its highs in 2017 when traded at $20.000.

Bitcoin’s current market capitalization is $190 billion. This new high implies that the BTC holders are profiting 65 percent.

Bitcoin’s realized cap shows the last price traded and multiplied by the total supply. For example, if the trader has BTC 100 coins and sells just one for $2, the market cap, in this case, is $200. 

The realized cap is measured by taking all coins at the price they last transacted on-chain. In essence, that’s the price the traders paid for Bitcoin.

That allows analysts to determine the amount of an asset’s original price for market partakers’ tax purposes. The exchanges where all orders, no matter if they are “buy” or “sell” orders, are directed through a central exchange. In other words, centralized exchanges are out of this estimation. So this data is more accurate when we speak about with a longer horizon.
