Overview

Realized Cap <24h is the total cost basis (realized capitalization) of all UTXOs younger than 24 hours. It represents the total value that flowed into this age band at acquisition prices.

Formula

$\text{Realized Cap}_{\lt 24h} = \sum_{\text{age} \lt 1\text{ day}} \text{amount}_i \times \text{price}(\text{cohort\_date}_i)$

Interpretation

• Closely tracks daily transaction volume valued at time of movement.
• Spikes indicate large capital flows on-chain.

Use Cases

• Track daily on-chain capital flows
• Identify large-value transaction days
• Compare with other cohort realized caps to assess capital distribution
