The derivatives market offers two collateral options: stablecoin-margined positions (dollar-pegged and stable) and crypto-margined positions (subject to market volatility). We assess collateral health using the Realized Cap Leverage Ratio for each type.
During 2018–2021, crypto-margined collateral dominated the market. Combined with 100x leverage availability, this volatile collateral base significantly worsened the May 2021 market crash.
Post-FTX collapse, the market has fundamentally shifted. Stablecoin-margined collateral now accounts for the majority of open interest, representing a maturation toward more stable risk management practices and reduced systemic vulnerability.

Bitcoin sits near all-time highs with two key valuation metrics showing strong growth:
Market Cap: $2.13T (up from $304B cycle low)
Realized Cap: $958B (up from $400B cycle low)
Market cap values all coins at current price, while realized cap uses actual transaction prices for a more accurate liquidity measure. Both highlight massive capital inflows and Bitcoin's evolution into a multi-trillion-dollar asset.

The gap between market cap (spot valuation) and realized cap (stored value) reveals the network's unrealized profit. Currently, Bitcoin holders are sitting on approximately $1.2 trillion in unrealized gains.
This massive profit cushion highlights the substantial value appreciation investors have experienced, but also represents potential sell-side pressure if market sentiment turns negative and holders decide to take profits.

The MVRV ratio (Market Cap / Realized Cap) offers a dimensionless measure of investor profitability. Currently at +125%, it shows Bitcoin holders maintain substantial paper gains, though this is notably lower than the +180% peaks seen at March's $73k high and December's initial $100k break.
This creates an interesting divergence: while dollar-denominated unrealized profits sit near all-time highs at $1.2 trillion, the MVRV ratio remains below previous peaks. This indicates that realized cap (actual capital inflows) has grown faster than market cap (price appreciation) in recent months, suggesting continued fresh money entering Bitcoin even at elevated price levels.
The lower MVRV despite higher absolute profits implies a more distributed profit base across the network.
