Centralized Exchange (CEX) flows analytics is based on monitoring cryptos moving in and out of CEXs by analyzing on-chain transactions.
It records a money flow of a particular token transferred to and from centralized exchange wallets to evaluate investors’ behavior.
Understanding CEX Inflows/Outflows
- CEX Inflows: traders deposit tokens on CEX, more likely for selling.
- CEX Outflows: traders withdraw tokens from CEX, more likely for holding, staking, or farming.
Identify Bullish and Bearish Signals
A surge in a token’s CEX Net Inflow value indicates depositing and selling activity on CEX. Conversely, the CEX Net Outflow value increases represent buying, withdrawing, and holding.
