Coin Destruction Metrics
Captures economic activity weighted by the age of coins being spent โ focusing on long-term holder behavior.
Overview
Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) measures both transaction volume and the age of coins moved.

This helps identify when dormant coins re-enter circulation, revealing holder confidence or capitulation.
