Whale Net Flow

Definition

Whale net flow tracks the aggregate movement of digital assets into or out of exchanges by large holders, often referred to as “whales.” A positive net flow indicates whales are depositing assets onto exchanges, potentially signaling an intent to sell. A negative net flow suggests whales are withdrawing assets, which could indicate long-term holding or movement to cold storage. This metric provides insight into the actions of significant market participants.
