Frequently asked questions

How do I read exchange inflows and outflows?

Coins moving onto an exchange are usually headed for the order book, so large net inflows often come before selling. Coins moving off exchanges usually go to custody or cold storage, which reads as holding. Stablecoins work the other way: stablecoins arriving on exchanges are buying power. These are tendencies, not guarantees.

Where do these numbers come from?

From Cexlens tracking of exchange and market maker wallets, summed per coin and UTC day. 72 coins moved at least $1M in this period. Wrapped tokens count as their base coin; tokenized stocks are left out.
