Transfer to Exchange Addresses (Inflow) - Kraken
Transfer to Exchange Addresses (Inflow) – Kraken measures the total amount of ICP sent to all known Kraken addresses, capturing the cumulative inflow of tokens into Kraken over a given period. This metric aggregates transfers using our continuously updated labeled dataset, with addresses identified through publicly available sources, official exchange disclosures, and internal research.
How it’s calculated
- Each transaction sending ICP to a labeled Kraken address is counted toward total inflow.
- Addresses are continuously verified and labeled, and transfers are updated as new information becomes available.
- Values may fluctuate over time, particularly for recent data points, due to newly discovered addresses or delayed labeling.
What this metric highlights
- Provides insight into Kraken-specific deposit activity, showing when ICP is moving from private wallets into the exchange.
- Rising inflows may indicate increased trading interest, potential selling pressure, or liquidity accumulation on Kraken.
- Helps track market behavior trends related to Kraken custody and user activity.
Limitations
- Partial coverage: Not all Kraken addresses are publicly known; some inflows may be untracked.
- Dynamic and variable: Transfers can occur rapidly, and inflow values are snapshots that may change as new addresses or transactions are labeled.
- Does not indicate intent: Transfers could reflect trading, staking, custody management, or other operational purposes.
- Informational purposes only: This metric is a proxy for inflow activity to Kraken, not a definitive measurement of market behavior or liquidity.
