Exchange inflows vs staking transfers

Crypto

2025-12-20

Why are the readings so different?

In both cases "a whale moved," but
the meaning can bethe exact opposite.

Category	Exchange inflows	staking transfers
Short-term selling potential	Higher	Lower
liquidity	Available immediately	Locked up
Market reading	Caution needed	Neutral to positive

So when you look at on-chain data,
"where it moved" is the key.
Judging by transfer volume alone makes misreading easy.
