Turnover Ratio

Turnover Ratio= current trade volume/ current market value

The turnover ratio is a measurement of token liquidity calculated by dividing total trading volume over a period by the total market value for that same period. The higher the turnover ratio, the more frequently traded a token is. This points to a clear indication of higher trading activity.

During June 30th to July 6th, the market turnover ratio decreased by 1.74%. By July 6th, it was approximately 5.63%. ETC and EOS enjoyed a higher turnover ratio than that of the market, being respectively 4.44 and 1.35 times of the latter. The popularity of ETC was mainly driven by the hosted service of Coinbase. The turnover ratio of BTC, ETH, and XRP were all lower than the market, indicating a relatively low level of activity.

TIPV Ratio

TIPV ratio= Current Market Value / Current Trading Volume

A significant negative correlation can be seen between the TIPV ratio and the closing price of cryptocurrencies throughout different industries. This follows a similar association to the traditional P/E ratio seen in finance. Being, the lower the TIPV ratio, the higher the potential profitability of a cryptocurrency.

During June 30th to July 6th, the market TIPV ratio increased by 1.77% to 17.76 by July 6th. The TIPV ratio of EOS and ETC are lower than the market while XRP, ETH and BTC enjoyed a higher ratio, among which the TIPV ratio of XRP is 4.34 times of the market, indicating a low potential yield.

It is calculated by taking the return of the investment, subtracting the risk-free rate, and dividing this result by the investment’s standard deviation. The higher a Sharpe ratio is, the higher potential for returns.
