UTXO analysis involves examining Unspent Transaction Outputs on a blockchain, particularly Bitcoin’s, to gain insights into network activity, coin distribution, and holder behavior. Each UTXO represents a specific amount of cryptocurrency received in a transaction that has not yet been spent. By tracking these outputs, analysts can determine coin age, realized price, and the profit or loss status of various coin cohorts. This method provides a granular view of network economics.
