Unabridged and deliberately not linked: a blockchain explorer that we have not checked would be a statement we cannot support.

The four cycles
Measured on daily closing prices, never on daily highs or lows. The cycle boundaries are Bitcoin’s own highest and lowest daily closes: January 14, 2015, December 16, 2017, December 15, 2018, November 8, 2021, November 21, 2022, October 6, 2025 and the current low on June 30, 2026. A day counts only if at least ten thousand dollars were traded on it. The price against Bitcoin is given in satoshi — one satoshi is one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.

For User growth per valuation it says “not determined” – that does not count.

The fifteen largest centralized exchanges by the CoinMarketCap ranking were counted, as of September 5, 2026. Decentralized exchanges do not count. Bybit is not included in any figure, because the venue was not reachable through sixteen address forms. Which five venues are the best for each asset has not been collected yet.
Finding
Remaining unlock 66.2 percent, trading only started on September 17, 2025 — no cycle survived. The Coinbase book carries only $79,227 of two-percent depth at a valuation of $1.94 billion, the worst ratio in the field. Three findings that no score reflects: DefiLlama had removed the volume data in October 2025 on suspicion of wash trading and still calls the exchange a black box — and that is exactly where the figure for criterion 5 comes from; six addresses held around 88 percent of the supply on October 8, 2025; monthly volume fell from $420 billion in September 2025 to $51.4 billion, that is by 88 percent. No exchange-traded product.
Investors and partners: not researched — awards no points, because projects with large backers did not perform better.
Nexo: Carried by Nexo — purchase page documented on September 1, 2026.
No investment advice, no price forecast, no buy or sell recommendation. A high score does not mean “will rise”. It means the asset scores better on these questions than the others.
