Exchange Net Inflows

Definition

Exchange net inflows represent the total value of cryptocurrency deposited into centralized exchanges minus the total value withdrawn over a specific period. A positive net inflow indicates that more assets are moving onto exchanges than off, suggesting potential selling pressure or a readiness to trade. Conversely, negative net inflows, or net outflows, imply assets are being moved to cold storage or decentralized finance platforms, often signaling a holder’s preference to retain assets. This metric offers insights into aggregate market sentiment.
