About this metric
What it measures
Whale Exchange Deposit Count counts the daily on-chain deposit events from entities classified as large holders into tracked exchange addresses. It is a count of transfers, not BTC volume or the number of distinct whales; one entity can contribute multiple deposits.
How to read it
An expanding count means more deposit events originate from the identified cohort, while a declining count means fewer. The record was 35,619 deposits on April 16, 2024; the recorded count on the April 20 halving date was 12,575, showing how sharply activity can vary over a few days. Compare volume to see whether frequency and BTC amounts move together.
Splitting a transfer across multiple deposits raises the count without requiring more coins or more participants. Wallet routing, batching and entity labels affect the series, and even a large-holder deposit may be small; frequency cannot establish market selling or the number of active investors.

FAQ
Does whale deposit count measure how many whales deposited?
No. It counts deposit events, so repeated transfers from the same entity can all contribute. A distinct-entity count would require a different calculation.
Why can whale deposit count rise while deposit volume falls?
The cohort may send more deposits with smaller BTC amounts. Transfer frequency and the total amount are separate dimensions of activity.
Is each whale deposit a transfer above a fixed BTC amount?
The large-holder label describes the source entity, rather than making every transfer large. A small deposit from a classified entity can still contribute to the count.
