The share of ETH supply sitting at more than 3x profit has dropped to 11%, the lowest reading since February 2017.



What makes this cycle structurally different?

In the previous two cycles, this cohort exceeded 50% of total supply at peak. This time, that threshold was never reached. ETH's profitability profile has fundamentally compressed relative to prior cycles.

Previously, the focus was on new narratives, now it's on ETFs and staking yields; the nature of the funds is completely different.

50%→11%,indicating that profit-taking traders exited early, and the bull market ended before it got crazy.

From 2017 to now, the ETH holders have changed through several waves; the proportion of long-term holders has declined, so the overall sell-pressure structure is naturally different.

This cycle is indeed different; institutional funding structures have changed, and retail FOMO momentum isn't as strong as before.
