About this metric
What it measures
Long- vs Short-Term Holder Realized P/L Share divides daily realized USD profit and absolute realized USD loss into LTH profit, LTH loss, STH profit and STH loss. Each component is divided by the combined profit-plus-loss magnitude and shown as a percentage; the cohort boundary is around 155 days.
How to read it
Rising LTH profit highlights gains realized by seasoned holders; rising STH loss shifts attention to losses among recent holders. On October 17, 2022, LTH loss and STH loss contributed about 49.1% and 46.6%, respectively, so losses overwhelmingly dominated that day's mix.
A larger share need not mean a larger dollar amount: the other components may simply have shrunk. On-chain realization is inferred from movement and cost basis, so transfers need not be market sales; very early observations are also sensitive to sparse activity and price estimates.

FAQ
What is the denominator of LTH/STH Realized P/L Share?
It is the combined magnitude of realized profit and realized loss across both cohorts. Losses enter as positive magnitudes, so the chart describes four shares rather than net profit.
Does LTH profit share measure how many long-term holders are profitable?
No. It measures their contribution to realized gains and losses on coins moving that day. It does not count people or describe the paper profit of unmoved holdings.
How does the all-network chart differ from the exchange-inflow version?
This chart covers the network-wide realized P/L mix. The exchange-inflow version restricts the calculation to coins transferred into identified exchanges, so the two can show different cohort balances.
