Definition. The total amount of coins (USD) transferred from short-term holders in loss to exchange wallets. Coins are considered to be in loss when the price at the time the coins are spent is lower than the entity's average on-chain acquisition price for its funds. Long- and Short-Term Holder supply is defined with respect to the entity's averaged purchasing date with weights given by a logistic function centered at an age of 155 days and a transition width of 10 days.

Technical. Only direct transfers are counted. Entities are clusters of addresses estimated to be controlled by the same actor, identified through advanced heuristics and Glassnode's proprietary clustering algorithms. Entity-based metrics rely on statistical and data-science methods that are refined over time. The series is therefore mutable: its established history is stable, but recent data points may revise as clustering improves. For methodology, see our article on account-based metrics. Exchange metrics are based on Glassnode's continually updated set of labeled exchange addresses, together with statistical and data-science methods that are refined over time. The series is therefore mutable: its established history is stable, but recent data points may revise as labels update. For methodology and limitations, see our article on exchange metrics and Exchange Data Transparency Notice.
