Realized Price is a key metric that calculates the average acquisition cost of a digital asset based on the price at the time each unit last moved. The Realized Price by Wallet Size metric provides an additional layer of detail by categorizing digital assets according to the size of their wallets. This offers a granular view of the average acquisition cost held by different investor classes, from whales to retail investors. This metric is particularly useful for understanding the distribution of acquisition costs across different wallet sizes. For example, it can help answer questions like, 'Is the average acquisition cost higher for larger wallets (whales) compared to smaller wallets (retail investors)?'

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.
