Investor Profit

Definition

Investor profit represents the positive financial return from an investment. This gain is calculated as the difference between the selling price of an asset and its initial purchase cost, after accounting for any associated transaction fees or operational expenditures. In the context of digital assets, profit can also accrue from staking rewards, yield farming, or successful trading strategies. Realized profit occurs when an asset is sold, while unrealized profit refers to the current market value appreciation of held assets.
