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's not uncommon for large inflows of tokens to the exchange to precede rapid price growth.
Here's that exact scenario in case of aeternity, a blockchain platform that enables scalable smart contracts:
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 flow out of the exchange, on the other hand, the price is likely to fall soon thereafter.
