Description
Definition. The total volume of digital assets spent, segmented into Long-Term Holder (LTH) and Short-Term Holder (STH) cohorts. Spent Volume in Profit by LTH/STH and Spent Volume in Loss by LTH/STH split this volume into profit and loss.
Technical. LTH/STH supply is defined with respect to each address's average purchasing date, with cohort weights given by a logistic function centered at 155 days and a transition width of 10 days. Breakdown metrics use an address-based approach, analyzing transactions and holdings at the individual wallet-address level to support comparability across digital assets and consistent analysis across blockchain architectures. This contrasts with the UTXO-based approach used for chains like Bitcoin, so metrics for UTXO-based assets may show slight deviations across the two computational methods. For BTC, ETH and ETH tokens, spends are netted per address per block, which removes change; for DOGE, TRX, XRP, TON and TON tokens, all transfers are counted. For ETH tokens, burn addresses are excluded.
Interpretation. Surfaces how total sale volume splits between long-term and short-term holders. Answers questions of the form: are long-term holders selling their coins more frequently than short-term holders?
