Glassnode Analyzes Recent Bitcoin Crash as Profit-Driven Event

Glassnode has analyzed the recent Bitcoin selloff, noting its structural difference from past crashes like LUNA and FTX in 2022.

  • The Bitcoin Percent Supply in Profit indicator measures the percentage of BTC's circulating supply with unrealized gains.
  • Recently, this metric was over 90%, indicating that most investors were profiting before the latest selloff.
  • The selloff appeared more profit-driven, with losses mainly affecting top buyers.
  • In contrast, during the LUNA and FTX crashes, the Percent Supply in Profit was below 65%.
  • Another metric, Net Realized Profit/Loss, showed deep negative values during past crashes, unlike the recent event.

Glassnode concludes that the recent crash is a leverage-driven event, differing structurally from previous market capitulations.

BTC Price: As of now, Bitcoin trades at $110,400, marking an 11% decline over the past week.
