Exchange Fee Dominance

Definition. Exchange Fee Dominance is the percentage of total transaction fees paid in transactions related to on-chain exchange activity, segmented by counterparty role:\n- Deposits: transactions that include an exchange address as the receiver of funds.\n- Withdrawals: transactions that include an exchange address as the sender of funds.\n- In-House: transactions that include addresses of a single exchange as both the sender and receiver of funds.\n- Inter-Exchange: transactions that include addresses of (distinct) exchanges as both the sender and receiver of funds.\n\nTechnical. When a transaction can be categorized into multiple of these categories, for example a transaction that sends funds externally as well as in-house, the fees are split into percentages according to the volume transferred. Exchange metrics are based on Glassnode's continually updated set of labeled exchange addresses, together with statistical and data-science methods that are refined over time. The series is therefore mutable: its established history is stable, but recent data points may revise as labels update. For methodology and limitations, see our article on exchange metrics and Exchange Data Transparency Notice.\n
