Bitcoin's epic sell-off review: $3.2 billion in actual losses set a record, and bottoming signals are emerging
Last week, the cryptocurrency market experienced intense volatility, with Bitcoin plummeting from around $70,000 to $60,000 in a short period, triggering the largest "realized loss" event in history. On-chain analysis platform Glassnode shows that the adjusted realized losses reached as high as $3.2 billion, setting a new record for the Bitcoin network. This metric measures the USD value of Bitcoin sold below cost and excludes the impact of transfers within the same entity, thus providing a more accurate reflection of genuine selling pressure.
This figure even exceeds the approximately $2.7 billion loss during the 2022 LUNA collapse, indicating that the current downward sentiment shock has surpassed the darkest phase previously experienced. Data platform Checkonchain pointed out that this market movement exhibits typical "capitulation sell-off" characteristics: rapid decline, large transaction volumes, mainly driven by holders with the weakest conviction being forced to liquidate.
