Guide: On-Chain Metrics
Blockchains show us the transparent trail of all transactions to have ever occurred, they cannot be hidden. This allows on-chain analysts to deduce probable market moves that are underway. Below there will be a number of on-chain metrics that Cryptonary uses to analyse the on-chain flows on both Bitcoin and Ethereum. This guide will act as a glossary, explaining what each metric is.
Exchange Net Position Change
One of the most common on-chain metrics, the Exchange Net Position Change is the measurement of coins flowing in and out of exchange wallets to or from cold storage wallets. If the amount of Bitcoin or Ether flowing from exchange wallets into cold storage wallets is greater than the amount of Bitcoin or Ether flowing in the opposite direction, this will result in a Net Withdrawal of Bitcoin/Ether from Exchange Wallets. This is often represented by red spikes on graphs (Glassnode). Green spikes, on the other hand are representative of when more Bitcoin/Ether is flowing into Exchange Wallets (to likely be sold) than Bitcoin/Ether flowing out of Exchange Wallets.Exchange Balance (%)
The Exchange Balance (%) is defined as the percent of the supply that is held in Exchange addresses. An up trending orange/blue line indicates an increase in the circulating supply being on Exchanges and a down trending orange/blue line indicates a decrease in the supply of Bitcoin/Ether on exchanges.Large Wallet Inflows
Bubbles on the graphs (from WhaleMap) indicate locations at which large BTC holders accumulated more coins. The larger the blue bubble, the larger the amount of Bitcoins purchased at that price and given point in time.Large Transactions
Among the on-chain metrics, this is the one that shows how many large transactions are moving on the blockchain.Lifespan/Spent Output Age Bands
Lifespan is the categorisation of all spent outputs that were created in that specific period of time. This allows for analysts to split coin spending into different cohorts of coin ages. As a result, this shows the analysts the age of coins and how they are being spent. If there are large spikes in the graph, this shows that there are lots of BTC/ETH are being moved/spent in that cohort.SOPR
The Spent Output Profit Ratio is computed by dividing the realised value, divided by the value at creation of a spent output. It is the profitability of spent Bitcoin relative to the realised value on a daily basis.Active Addresses
The number of unique addresses that were active in the network either as a sender or a receiver.New Addresses
The number of unique addresses that appeared for the first time in a transaction of the native coin in the network.Funding Rate
One of the on-chain metrics, the Funding Rate is a mechanism to ensure that the Perpetual Futures Contract price stays near the Spot price. All crypto derivative exchanges use a funding rate on perpetual Contracts. The funding rate is set by the market and varies over time. When the funding rate is positive, longs pay shorts and vice versa.Coin Days Destroyed
Coin Days Destroyed for any transaction is calculated by the number of coins in a transaction and multiplying them by the number of days since these coins were last spent. This allows analysts to see what age of coins are being transacted. Large spikes indicate old coins are being spent which can indicate that long-term holders are selling their coins.100% Success Money Back Guarantee

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
