New data from Santiment shows a sharp shift in short-term profitability across major cryptocurrencies following the latest market bounce.

Using the 30-day MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) metric, Santiment analyzed whether large-cap assets are currently undervalued, neutral, or overvalued based on the average return of holders over the past month.

What the 30-Day MVRV Shows

The 30-day MVRV measures the average profit or loss of traders who bought within the last 30 days.

  • Negative MVRV → Average holder is at a loss (often considered undervalued territory).
  • Near 0% → Neutral zone.
  • Positive MVRV → Traders are in profit (risk of overvaluation increases as profits rise).

Following today’s climb, the landscape looks different.

Current Positioning by Asset

  • Ethereum (ETH): -5.5% – Mildly undervalued
  • Bitcoin (BTC): -1.4% – Neutral
  • XRP (XRP): -0.1% – Neutral
  • Chainlink (LINK): +3.3% – Neutral, slightly profitable
  • Cardano (ADA): +6.8% – Mildly overvalued

Ethereum remains in mildly undervalued territory, meaning recent buyers are still holding an average loss. Cardano, on the other hand, has moved into mildly overvalued conditions after its breakout.

Why MVRV Matters

MVRV offers a data-driven way to assess sentiment and positioning. When MVRV drops deeply negative, it often signals fear and potential accumulation zones. When it rises significantly positive, it suggests traders are in profit, and profit-taking risk increases.

Santiment emphasizes that instead of blindly buying dips, investors can use MVRV to identify when average returns fall meaningfully below 0%, signaling stronger risk-reward conditions.

Strategy Implication

  • Consider accumulating when assets are in undervalued zones.
  • Exercise caution when MVRV shifts into overvalued territory.

With ETH still mildly negative and ADA now positive, the current data suggests rotation and differentiation within large caps rather than broad overheating.

As always, MVRV is one tool among many, but it provides insight into whether the crowd is underwater or comfortably in profit.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
