Realized Price

Represents the average cost basis of all coins in circulation based on their last on-chain movement

Overview
The Realized Price is one of Bitcoin’s foundational on-chain valuation metrics. Unlike market price, it values each coin at the time it last moved on-chain, offering a more accurate picture of the market’s aggregated cost basis.

Formula

R e a l i z e d P r i c e = R e a l i z e d C a p C i r c u l a t i n g S u p p l y RealizedPrice = \frac{RealizedCap}{CirculatingSupply}

Interpretation

  • Market Price > Realized Price: Network in profit → bullish sentiment.

  • Market Price < Realized Price: Holders underwater → accumulation phase.

Insights
Acts as a dynamic “fair value” line — often forming cycle bottoms when price retests it.
