Financial Metrics
摘要
In this chapter, financial metrics for digital assets, including both on-chain and off-chain financial metrics, are discussed. On-chain metrics refer to information recorded directly on the blockchain, such as total transaction volume, the number of active addresses, and the percentage of the circulating supply currently in profit. On the other hand, off-chain metrics are data typically recorded on central servers—such as price and trading volume from centralized exchanges—and reported to digital asset price-tracking websites such as CoinMarketCap.com. Be aware that reported exchange volumes can be artificially inflated through wash-trading or bot activity, so always cross-check figures with on-chain data and volumes from reputable, regulated venues.
