Description

Definition. Coinday destruction can be considered a form of both time- and volume-weighted 'spent volume'. From this lens, this chart constructs NVT and RVT oscillators for the Short-Term Holder cohort, comparing the value held within STH supply against the corresponding value of entity-adjusted STH coinday destruction: the STH CDD-NVT (red) and STH-RVT (dark red), plotted over price (grey).

Technical. Both oscillators normalize a 90-day sum of USD-denominated STH coinday destruction:

  • STH Coinday NVT = STH Supply x Price / sum(STH-CDD x Price, 90) (red)
  • STH Coinday RVT = STH Supply x STH Realized Price / sum(STH-CDD x Price, 90) (dark red)

where the STH Realized Price is recovered as Price / STH-MVRV, making the RVT numerator the STH cohort's realized cap.

Interpretation. Generally speaking, NVT and RVT Ratios can be interpreted within the following framework:

  • High values and uptrends indicate that CDD volumes are declining relative to the value of the supply region, indicating a potential slow-down in network utilization.

  • Low values and downtrends indicate that CDD volumes are increasing relative to the value of the supply region, indicating potential growth in network utilization.

  • Stable sideways values indicate that CDD volumes are in equilibrium with the value of the supply region, indicating the current trend is likely sustainable and in equilibrium.

Since Short-Term Holders are the most active cohort and their coins carry small lifespans, their coinday destruction reacts quickly to market conditions — these ratios therefore read as a faster, more sentiment-sensitive counterpart to the Long-Term Holder version, useful for gauging whether recent buyers are churning coins or letting them mature.

Notes. Built from Entity-Adjusted STH-CDD, Short-Term Holder Supply and STH-MVRV. See also the Long-Term Holder, Entity-Adjusted and aggregate versions.
