Exchange Inflow/Outflow

Definition

There are three separate metrics regarding exchange funds flow:

  • exchange_inflow - How many coins/tokens are moved from non-exchange to exchange wallets.
  • exchange_outflow - How many coins/tokens are moved from exchange to non-exchange wallets.
  • exchange_balance - The difference inflow-outflow (inflow minus outflow). The usefulness of this metric comes from the fact that transactions from missing/unknown exchange wallets to missing/unknown exchange wallets cancel each other.

Some of the metrics have a USD equivalent - the raw value is multiplied by the price of the coin/token at the given date. The available USD metrics are exchange_inflow_usd and exchange_outflow_usd

Use Case

It is not uncommon for large inflows of tokens to the exchange to precede rapid price growth.

Here is that exact scenario in the case of aeternity, a blockchain platform that enables scalable smart contracts:

aeternity funds flow balance

Note: Aeternity moved from ERC20 to their own blockchain and Santiment does not have data for this new blockchain.

When a large amount of tokens flows out of the exchange, on the other hand, the price is likely to fall soon thereafter.
