Profit Realization Rate

Definition

Profit realization rate measures the speed or frequency at which investors sell their digital assets for a gain. This metric quantifies the proportion of spent coins that are moved at a price higher than their acquisition cost, indicating how actively market participants are securing profits. A high profit realization rate often occurs during bull markets or after significant price rallies, as holders capitalize on their unrealized gains. Conversely, a low rate suggests either accumulation or a lack of profitable selling opportunities.
