Bitcoin C2B - Volume

As of
Correlation Score
34.92%

C2B (Consumer-to-Business) Volume aims to track the amount of BTC exchanged from from Customers to Businesses. A good example might be purchasing an item from an online store using Bitcoin.

The algorithm infers "Institutional" addresses using this 3 metrics:

  • Transactions frequency
  • Time the accounts do a high amount of transactions
  • Amount spent and received

Assumptions made:

  • High transactions frequency is a good indicator of an account that does programmatic transactions.
  • Business accounts seem to be active every day or follow a pretty strict activity pattern.
  • Businesses tend to move a lot more money than Customers.

*Note

  • Only On-chain data was used to compute this metric. Transactions executed off-chain on Lightning Network are not being taken into account.
  • Customers addresses are all addresses that the algorithm did not infer as Business addresses.
  • Correlation Score is the Pearson correlation coefficient.
