Unrealized Loss Ratio

Definition

The unrealized loss ratio is a metric that compares the total value of digital assets currently held at a loss to the total market capitalization of that asset. It quantifies the proportion of the asset’s supply that was acquired at a price higher than its present market value. A high ratio indicates significant paper losses among holders, potentially signaling capitulation or a market bottom. This ratio offers insight into investor sentiment and potential selling pressure.
