Valuation Metrics
Interpret market value, realized value, cost-basis, and fair-value on-chain metrics.
Valuation metrics compare current market value with capital invested or a model-derived anchor. Common families include MVRV, realized capitalization, realized price, cohort cost basis, NUPL, AVIV, CVDD, thermocap-based ratios, and price models.
#Core Relationships
| Concept | Typical interpretation |
|---|---|
| Market capitalization | Current price multiplied by circulating supply |
| Realized capitalization | Each unit valued at its last-moved price |
| Realized price | Realized capitalization divided by the relevant supply |
| MVRV | Market capitalization divided by realized capitalization |
| Cost-basis cohort | Acquisition-price estimate for a holder or age group |
| Fair-value model | Derived price anchor, not a traded market price |

Valuation models are descriptive indicators, not guaranteed price targets. Preserve missing history as missing data instead of backfilling zero.
