Glassnode: Bitcoin Short-Term Holders Have Been in a State of Unrealized Loss Since 25 November

2026.01.19 22:46:45

On January 19, Glassnode shared data on social media showing that the **STH-NUPL metric**—which measures the ratio of new investors’ unrealized gains/losses to the market value of short-term holders—has indicated new investors have been in a net unrealized loss position consistently since November 2025. To push this group back to net profitability, a Bitcoin price recovery to roughly $98,000 or higher appears to be the minimum threshold. ### BlockBeats Note Following historical bear market and sharp pullback patterns, prolonged declines may gradually force these short-term holders (STHs, or new investors) to capitulate while in unrealized losses. - During the 2018 bear market, STH-NUPL plummeted to ~-0.6, triggering mass capitulation among short-term players. Realized losses cleared a large speculative bubble, paving the way for the market to bottom out and launch a new bull cycle. - In the 2022 bear market (post-FTX collapse), STH realized losses hit a record peak. After weak hands were flushed out, prices found support near $16,000—then kicked off a bullish trend. This rewrite uses concise, conversational phrasing common in U.S. crypto news, with clear sectioning and industry-standard terms (e.g., "capitulation," "weak hands") that resonate with American audiences.

Community users are questioning Kalshi over alleged falsified crypto trading volumes, claiming the daily trading volume of ETH-PERP is 174 times its open interest.

Quantitative analyst Beni posted a critique questioning prediction market platform Kalshi of artificially inflating its crypto trading volume, citing multiple data points as evidence. Beni noted that Kalshi’s ETH-PERP has an open interest of roughly $3.1 million, yet its 24-hour trading volume reaches $538.6 million — meaning all open positions turn over approximately 174 times daily, or an average of once every 8 minutes and 18 seconds. He also pointed out that Kalshi’s position leaderboard shows the largest single ETH-PERP position is only around $17,600, a clear discrepancy with the stated volume scale. Additionally, Kalshi’s prior filing with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) reveals that eligible Self-Clearing Member (SCM) market makers receive a 0.3 basis point rebate, while takers pay 0.3 basis points, resulting in a total trading cost of 0 basis points. Beni further mentioned that Kalshi had a liquidity-for-equity partnership with Jump Trading, leading him to question whether there is motivation to boost the platform’s volume metrics. He also challenged Kalshi’s volume calculation methodology, stating that the platform counts “number of traded contracts” as volume and displays it with a dollar sign, which may mislead users about actual transaction amounts. All claims originate from Beni’s personal posts; they represent his doubts about Kalshi’s trading data and business model, and do not equate to proven volume manipulation or wash trading on Kalshi’s part.
