The SLRV Ratio compares the relative weight of coins last moved within 24 hours with those unmoved for 6–12 months, dividing the short-age measure by the older-age measure. It is unitless; this catalog labels the comparison as realized value.
A rising ratio means very young coins have greater weight relative to the 6–12 month cohort; a falling ratio means the older group has greater relative weight. The recorded value was about 0.033 on October 17, 2022 and 0.029 on October 17, 2026, compared with an early peak of 158.4 in June 2011. The wide range explains the logarithmic chart scale.
Either side of the ratio can drive a move, and wallet churn can enlarge the youngest group without new investment. The precise weighting is not documented in the available metadata, so do not assume this series equals a simple division of BTC balances or independently displayed age-band dollar totals. Early values are sensitive to a small older cohort.
No. Its named age groups are under 24 hours and 6–12 months. These differ from the roughly 155-day boundary used for STH and LTH supply.
No. It compares two age groups rather than market value with cost basis. Below 1 means the short-age measure is smaller than the older-age measure under this series' calculation.
The history spans very small fractions and early values above 100. A log scale makes proportional moves visible, but very high early readings may reflect a small denominator rather than comparable modern activity.
