Crypto Loss Figures: Not as Bad as They Seem

People often think that Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana are in big trouble because so much of their supply is held at a loss. But, when you look closer, the story isn't as scary as it seems.

Bitcoin: The Big Picture

• 35% of Bitcoin is held at a loss.
• Big players (companies, ETFs, countries) hold a significant portion.
• Lost Bitcoin is also a factor.

When you account for these, the actual amount of Bitcoin feeling the pain is much less than 35%.

Ether: Locked Up and Staked

• 37% of Ether is held at a loss.
• Massive amounts are locked in staking or held by institutions.
• Not all of it is floating around, ready to be sold.

Solana: The High Loss Outlier

• 70% of Solana is held at a loss.
• Most is locked in staking, so it's not just sitting there, waiting to be dumped.

The Bigger Picture

• Loss figures can change quickly when prices rise.
• Locked or lost coins don't react to short-term price changes.
• Actual sell pressure is often much lower than the big loss percentages suggest.
