On-chain data shows Dogecoin and XRP have recently been seeing the sharpest decreases in Supply in Profit out of the major cryptocurrencies.
Dogecoin & XRP Have Seen A Notable Drop In Profitability During Last 30 Days
In a new post on X, the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed about the latest trend in the Supply in Profit for the major assets in the cryptocurrency sector.
The “Supply in Profit” here is an indicator that keeps track of the percentage of the total circulating supply of a given digital asset that’s being held at some net unrealized profit.
The metric works by going through the transaction history of each coin on the network to see what price it was last moved at. If this previous transfer value of any token was less than the current spot price, then that particular coin is assumed to be sitting on a profit right now.
The Supply in Profit adds up all coins of this type and determines what part of the supply that they make up for. An alternate indicator known as the Supply in Loss takes into account for the supply of the opposite type. The value of the Supply in Loss can also simply be calculated by subtracting the Supply in Profit from 100, as the total supply must add up to a 100%.
Now, here is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the trend in the 7-day simple moving average (SMA) of the Supply in Profit for eight cryptocurrencies over the last few months:
As is visible in the above graph, Toncoin (TON) and BNB (BNB) have seen the Supply in Profit go through a significant increase recently. Over the last 30 days, TON has seen an additional 23.8% of the supply get into the green, taking the total to a whopping 94.1%. Similarly, BNB has seen a rise of 17.4%, putting the metric at 86.3%.
On the other end of the spectrum are Dogecoin (DOGE), XRP (XRP), and Solana (SOL), with each registering a notable decrease in the indicator. Below is a chart that filters out the other assets to focus on the curves for these coins.
With the decrease, XRP has seen another 5.2% of its supply fall into a loss to take the total Supply in Profit to 81.5%. Dogecoin has seen an almost double digit decrease in the metric, but a majority of its coins are still above water as the indicator sits at 53.6%.
Solana hasn’t been so lucky, however, as despite a decline of just 4.4%, only 35.2% of the the cryptocurrency’s supply is currently holding a gain. From one perspective, though, this development may not actually be so bad for SOL. Generally, profit-sellers are what impede bullish moves, but when there aren’t many investors left in gain anymore, the price tends to bottom out.
With Solana and even Dogecoin sitting on a relatively low level of profit supply, it’s possible that their prices could be near a rebound.
DOGE Price
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is floating around $0.173, down more than 11% over the last week.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.
Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.
In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.
Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.
Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..
Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.
Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.
As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.
Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.
Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
