In a new post on Site X, Santiment, a blockchain analytics company, has revealed that altcoins have generally been generating high returns recently, based on the MVRV ratio.
The market realized value ratio (MVRV) is a metric that tracks the relationship between the market and realized value of any #cryptocurrency. Realized value here refers to the capitalization model, which assumes that the real value of a token in circulation is not the current spot price of the asset, but the value at the time it was last moved on the #blockchain.

The token was most likely last traded when it last changed hands, so its previous price is the current base price. Thus, the realized price is essentially the cost basis in the market for each investor.
The MVRV ratio compares the market value of an asset (i. e. the total value currently held by an investor) to the realized value (i. e. the value invested in the coin by the holder as a whole) and thus gives an idea of the rate of return for the average cryptocurrency investor.
Historically, investors with large gains (i. e. , high MVRV ratios) signal that their assets are overheating, while investors with losses indicate overbought conditions. Based on this historical pattern, Santiment has identified "opportunity zones" and "danger zones" in the market.
The chart below shows the different timeframes and indicators of divergence in MVRV ratios of different altcoins:
According to the Santimento model, a divergence in MVRV ratio (from the normal value of 0%) to -1 indicates that the asset is in the danger zone where traders are making high profits. The chart shows that most of the #altcoins are in this zone.
With the exception of some lagging altcoins, most cryptocurrency projects are profitable in the medium to long term for the average wallet," explains Santimento. In other words, our model shows quite a few "overbought" signals.
