Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) is the difference between Relative Unrealized Profit and Relative Unrealized Loss. NUPL by Age further segments the metric by considering coins of different age cohorts separately, offering a detailed view of the PnL state across varying holding periods for an asset.
Note: The breakdown metrics utilize an address-based approach, analyzing transactions and holdings based on individual wallet addresses to facilitate comparability across digital assets and to ensure consistent analysis across various blockchain architectures. This contrasts with the alternative UTXO-based approach for chains like Bitcoin, where unspent transaction outputs are analyzed to categorize asset properties. As such, metrics for UTXO-based assets may show slight deviations if compared across these different computational methods.
This is the Point-in-Time (PiT) variant of NUPL by Age. PiT metrics are strictly append-only and their history is immutable. The historic data does not necessarily reflect the best current knowledge, but the information at the time when a data point was first computed. PiT metrics are ideal candidates for applications in model backtesting and related quantitative purposes. Read our article on PiT metrics for more information.
