In contrast, the market cap denotes the value the investors hold right now. As such, the MVRV Ratio, which compares the two metrics, contains information about the profit/loss status of the Bitcoin userbase. Naturally, the ratio greater than 1 implies the investors are in a state of net profit, while under the cutoff implies the dominance of loss. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin MVRV Ratio over the past decade or so: The value of the metric appears to have been on the way down recently | Source: IntoTheBlock on X As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin MVRV Ratio surged during the rally to the new price all-time high (ATH) in the year’s first quarter as…
