During October 2026 (UTC), Cexlens recorded $15.88B of crypto (excluding stablecoins) moving off centralized exchanges and $14.18B moving onto them: a net flow of $1.70B off exchanges, which usually reads as holding rather than selling. BTC moved off exchanges the most ($2.16B net). HYPE moved onto exchanges the most ($240.8M net). Stablecoins moved onto exchanges on balance ($1.31B).
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.
