Bitcoin Realized Cap is a market valuation metric that calculates Bitcoin’s market capitalization by using the price of each Bitcoin when it last moved on-chain, rather than its current market price. This metric provides an estimation of the aggregate cost basis of all Bitcoin in circulation. It offers a more accurate view of the network’s value held by long-term investors.
Context

When the market price falls below the realized price, it traditionally signals a potential market bottom. Discussions frequently concern the metric’s effectiveness in predicting price movements versus traditional market capitalization.
