Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do on-chain metrics differentiate between exchange accumulation and long-term holding?On-chain tools track output spentness, wallet entity labeling, and movement velocity. Accumulation is signaled when newly deposited coins remain unmoved for >30 days while inbound volume exceeds outbound by >3x.

Q: Why does BTC dominance often rise during altcoin sell-offs?Traders convert altcoin positions into BTC as a liquidity buffer before re-entering risk assets. This behavior reflects BTC’s role as the primary settlement layer—not a safe haven.

Q: What causes sudden spikes in perpetual futures funding rates?Funding rate surges occur when long-position leverage dominates open interest and spot price lags index price due to delayed arbitrage. Rates exceed +0.1% when delta between index and mark price widens beyond 0.8%.

Q: How do stablecoin reserve audits impact market confidence?Publicly verified attestations from firms like Armanino or MNP reduce perceived counterparty risk. Markets react immediately—USDT premium on Binance rises 12–18 bps within 4 hours of a clean audit report release.
