The realized cap is measured by taking all coins at the price they last transacted on-chain. In essence, that’s the price the traders paid for Bitcoin.
That allows analysts to determine the amount of an asset’s original price for market partakers’ tax purposes. The exchanges where all orders, no matter if they are “buy” or “sell” orders, are directed through a central exchange. In other words, centralized exchanges are out of this estimation. So this data is more accurate when we speak about with a longer horizon.
