On-chain data shows yesterday’s Bitcoin crash from $27,300 to $25,800 alone sent 6.5% of the supply into a state of loss.<\/p>\n
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode<\/a>, a further 1.26 million coins were lost after the latest price plummet. The relevant indicator is the “percent supply in profit<\/a>,” which measures the percentage of the total circulating Bitcoin supply currently being held at a profit.<\/p>\n The metric calculates this value by going through the on-chain history of all the coins on the network to see what price they were last moved at. If the previous selling price for any coin was less than the current spot value of the asset, then that specific coin is counted inside the profit supply.<\/p>\n The counterpart indicator for the percent supply in profit is the “percent supply in loss<\/a>,” which naturally tracks the loss of supply. This metric’s value can be found by subtracting the percent supply in profit from 100.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin percent supply in profit over the last couple of days:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin percent supply in profit saw a massive plunge as the crash in the cryptocurrency from the $27,300 mark to the $25,800 level took place.<\/p>\n The impetus behind this price plunge was the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) suing the cryptocurrency exchange Binance and its CEO<\/a>, Changpeng Zhao, over alleged fraud.<\/p>\n Though even though the price saw a 5.8% plunge during this crash, the percentage of the total circulating Bitcoin supply that was sent into a state of loss measured to around 6.5%.<\/p>\nThe value of the metric seems to have observed some decline recently | Source: Glassnode on Twitter<\/a><\/pre>\n
