The metric tallies the total number of addresses on the blockchain that hold no cryptocurrency.

This metric can serve as an indicator of user retention, network exits, or wallet activity cessation over a given period. A significant increase in zero balance addresses might suggest that users are moving their assets off the network, possibly due to taking profits, reacting to market conditions, or shifting interest to other cryptocurrencies.

Conversely, a decrease in zero balance addresses could imply new or existing users are accumulating the cryptocurrency, potentially indicating growing confidence in its value.

Monitoring this metric provides insights into the changing dynamics of participation and investment trends within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
