Next Step in the Evolution of On-Chain Analysis: New, Granular Cohorts for Key On-Chain Metrics

Validated Project

From Glassnode

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a pioneering suite of 28 new on-chain metrics, now available on Glassnode for both Bitcoin and Ethereum. This latest addition to our platform solidifies Glassnode’s position as a leader in on-chain analytics by adding an unprecedented depth to critical metrics, such as SOPR, MVRV, Realized Profit, and Realized Cap. By incorporating detailed breakdowns based on the age of holdings and wallet size distributions, users can significantly enrich their understanding of capital flows, asset fundamentals, and market sentiment.

To find these new metrics, institutional customers can log in to Glassnode Studio, go to Charts, and from the metrics catalogue on the left select Breakdowns. If you would like to learn more about the specific metrics that are being released and how you can apply them in your analysis, we invite you to have a look at the detailed overview in Glassnode Academy.

Unrivalled Perspective on Cohort Activity

This new suite of metrics is designed to address complex questions about market dynamics, enhancing our users' ability to make informed decisions based on detailed cohort analysis. By focusing on individual wallet addresses rather than traditional UTXO-based methods, we now provide a more intuitive view of asset flows and holdings and introduce additional dimensions for data interpretation.

These dimensions include metrics segmented by age and wallet size, offering users the means to explore complex questions such as: 

Equipped with such a deep understanding of the crypto market, Glassnode users will now be in a better position to make accurate trading decisions across a broader range of time frames and assets.

Benefits of Address-Based Approach

Understanding the full scope of digital asset dynamics requires data that is both comprehensive and easily comparable across various cryptocurrencies. That’s why the new metrics use an address-based methodology that facilitates consistent comparisons across different blockchain architectures — from Ethereum’s account model to Bitcoin’s UTXO system. This highly adaptable and scalable approach paves the way for integrating thousands more assets into our platform in the future.

Supercharging Ethereum Analytics

As Ethereum's ecosystem becomes more complex and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) more popular, we are keenly aware of the growing need our institutional clients have for more precise analytical tools. With this new suite of metrics, we are extending the insights that have turned Glassnode into the leader in on-chain analytics to the Ethereum blockchain. In doing so, we aim to aid institutions in broadening their scope of investment, diversifying their portfolios, and capitalizing on the trends in assets beyond Bitcoin.

Tailored for Traders

One of the biggest, tangible benefits of this metric suite lies in highly granular and intuitive insights into asset flows and wallet activity. These insights can be translated into potential buy and sell signals and help better understand overall market cycles.

This, in turn, can be beneficial for momentum and long-only traders as it aids in strategizing entries and exits, managing portfolios, and minimizing risks associated with market volatility. For example, here are some potential use cases of the new metrics:

  • Early Identification of Market Trends: By analyzing age-based cohorts of asset holdings, traders can detect early signs of market movements. For instance, observing shifts in the holdings of short-term versus long-term holders can indicate emerging trends before they become mainstream.
  • Risk Assessment: Entities can evaluate the composition of wealth held on the network by examining the distribution of holdings by age and wallet size. This provides insight into which market participants hold substantial portions of the network wealth, offering critical data for strategic decision-making regarding entry and exit points.
  • Profit and Loss Signals: Our metrics allow for detailed tracking of realized profit and loss by age and wallet size, providing clear signals for potential portfolio adjustments. 
  • Volume Analysis: Traders can refine their strategies by analyzing spent volumes in profit or loss, segmented by holder age or wallet size, to optimize their trading moves based on market liquidity and sell-off risks.

Maximize Insights with Our Dedicated Dashboards

To ensure our users make the most of our new metrics, we've developed dedicated dashboards tailored to distinct investment timelines. These tools provide specific, actionable insights tailored to different types of market participants:

  • Short-Term Holder Dashboards: Focus on the spending behaviour and market sentiment of Short-Term Holders, with detailed subsets ranging from 1 day to 6 months. These dashboards reveal early market inflection points and trends, making them invaluable for those looking to respond quickly to market movements. Here you can find the appropriate Bitcoin Dashboard and Ethereum Dashboard.
  • Long-Term Holder Dashboards: Analyze the deeper, more sustained market trends affecting Long-Term Holders, showcasing metrics such as Realized Cap and SOPR, segmented by age groups from 6 months to several years. These dashboards are designed for users who manage long-term investments and are interested in understanding broader market cycles. Here you can access the Bitcoin Dashboard and the Ethereum Dashboard.

In the future, we are planning to release more dashboards showcasing specific applications of the new metrics suite for our key customer segments such as long-only, long/short, or momentum traders.

  • SEC and CFTC Update Crypto FAQs: Token Buybacks and Network Upgrades Not Necessarily Securities, CFTC Allows On-Chain Record Keeping

    On September 26, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Corporation Finance released an updated FAQ on September 25, clarifying that token buybacks, network upgrades, and marketing statements do not automatically make crypto assets securities. SEC staff noted that announcing a buyback plan for an operational crypto network does not, by itself, make the associated tokens investment contracts; however, if the network is not operational and the issuer promotes the buyback as a source of returns for holders, it may be a different case. The FAQ also clarified that services provided once a crypto system is operational, aimed at securing, maintaining, improving, or enhancing the system or its functions, or promoting network effects, do not constitute managerial efforts under the Howey test. Marketing existing uses of the network typically does not create profit expectations, and statements about future functionalities do not either, provided there is no promotion of profit potential. This update reiterates that conclusions will still heavily depend on specific cases and are based on the SEC's interpretative release regarding the applicability of securities laws to crypto assets issued in March this year. On the same day, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission updated its crypto FAQ, allowing futures firms and clearinghouses to invest customer funds in tokenized versions of previously permitted assets, provided they meet investment and custody requirements. CFTC staff also indicated that regulated companies may use blockchain for record keeping but must still be able to provide records if the blockchain or its block explorer is non-operational. These updates come as the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate, with regulators continuing to push forward with the crypto regulatory framework based on existing laws.

  • Yushu Technology's Wang Xingxing: Key to Breakthrough in Embodied Intelligence Lies in Solving Millimeter-Level Error Issues

    On September 25, the 5th Global Digital Trade Expo was held in Hangzhou, where Wang Xingxing, founder of Yushu Technology, delivered a keynote speech titled "From Machinery to Intelligence - The Evolutionary Theory of Embodied Future." Wang stated that the embodied intelligence industry may soon experience a critical breakthrough similar to that of ChatGPT. He believes that when robots can complete approximately 80% of tasks through voice interaction and embodied intelligence capabilities in about 80% of unfamiliar environments, the industry will enter a critical phase of large-scale application. He pointed out that the ability for robots to understand and execute specific tasks based on voice commands has already made breakthroughs last year, but the industry still faces a core technological bottleneck, namely the precise matching issue between artificial intelligence models and the real physical world. Wang noted that currently, robots still have a few millimeters of error during actual operations, which limits their stability and reliability in complex environments. "In the future, whoever can solve this problem will fundamentally resolve the issues with robots."

  • Swissquote Analyst Warns AI Narrative is a Core Pillar of US Stocks, Potential Break Could Trigger Significant Correction

    On September 25, Ipek Ozkardeskaya, a senior analyst at Swissquote Bank, stated that broad market indices and retirement funds are now deeply tied to the AI wave, with technology stocks accounting for about 40% of the S&P 500 index. She pointed out that the market capitalization weight of just three chip manufacturers makes up over 25% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Ozkardeskaya indicated that AI has become the 'core pillar' of the market, and this pillar 'must not show any cracks.' She believes that, in the short term, the US stock market will continue to be supported by seasonal factors, and the current market uptrend may extend until the end of the year. However, she also warned that the worst-case scenario would be a shake in the investment logic surrounding AI, which could undermine market confidence in the AI narrative, potentially triggering a significant market correction.
