On-Chain Metrics

AAVE Seller Median Cost Basis

For every coin sold today, where did the seller originally buy? Each spent UTXO is binned into a cost-basis price bucket weighted by its AAVE value, building a daily histogram (SOPD, Spent Output Price Distribution). The chart plots the volume-weighted median of that histogram each day: the cost basis price at which half of today's sold supply lies above and half below. Compare against the current price to see whether today's sellers are realizing profit (median below price) or capitulating at a loss (median above price). Distinct from SOPR (which is the value ratio of sold coins) and from STH/LTH realized price (which averages held supply, not sold flow), this metric captures the median seller including LTH whales whom STH-cohort metrics miss entirely. Sharp moves typically signal a regime shift in which holder cohort is doing the selling. Includes ±1σ statistical bands and a day-over-day shift indicator.
