Santiment’s Network Realized Profit/Loss (NPL) indicator provides the daily network-level Return On Investment (ROI) data based on a coin’s on-chain transaction volume, offering insights into market sentiment. Sharp spikes in a coin’s NPL suggest holders are selling at significant profits, while steep dips indicate holders are realizing losses, potentially signaling panic sell-offs and investor capitulation.


For CRV, the NPL indicator dropped from -1.05 million on June 12 to -88.68 million on June 13, correlating with a 38% price decline. This negative trend suggests holders, on average, are realizing losses, and hints of strong selling pressure.

Santiment’s Supply Distribution metric shows that from June 12 to 13:


  1. Whales with 1 to 10 million had increased their holdings from $337.69 to $377.65 million.
  2. Whales with 10 to 100 million had decreased their holdings from $464.95 to $433.41 million.
  3. Whales with 100 million to 1 billion decreased their holdings from $1.14 to $1.11 billion.


This interesting development shows that the sell-off by the latter two groups of whales is twice as great as the accumulation by the first group of whales. This event increased the supply on exchanges from 333.18 to 547.52 million in one day, indicating short-term sell pressure on CRV.
