About this metric
What it measures
OTC Desk Incoming Transfer Count counts on-chain BTC transfers received by identified over-the-counter desk wallets each day, in transfers. It measures incoming wallet activity rather than the BTC amount, customer count or number of negotiated trades.
How to read it
More incoming transfers can reflect more frequent inventory funding, customer deliveries or settlement receipts at tracked desks. Fewer transfers indicate quieter incoming activity within that coverage. The recorded high was 257 on November 9, 2021, while the yearly maximum in 2024 was 97, giving a historical reference for changes in funding frequency.
An incoming transfer does not reveal whether a client sold BTC or whether a desk simply moved inventory. Desk labels cover only recognized wallets, and net settlement can hide many deals behind a small number of transfers. Pair count with incoming BTC volume and outgoing activity.

FAQ
Do OTC inflows prove that large holders are selling?
No. They can reflect client delivery, inventory funding or operational transfers. A wallet receipt alone does not establish a sale or identify the seller.
Does zero incoming count mean the OTC market had no activity?
No. It means no incoming transfers were recorded for the covered wallets that day. Trading may settle later, off-chain or through wallets outside the identified set.
How does incoming count differ from OTC inventory?
Incoming count measures events during a day, while inventory measures the BTC balance held. A few large receipts can increase inventory more than many small receipts, and outgoing amounts also affect the balance.
