ETH Exchange Reserves: Ether Held on Exchanges and Netflow

How much ETH do exchanges hold, what share of the ETH supply is that and is it flowing in or out?

About

What it answers, and for whom.

Exchanges hold ETH for their customers in wallets that can be read on-chain. This dashboard adds up the ETH and WETH in every labelled exchange wallet at each day's last block, shows the daily flow in and out and sets the total beside the whole ETH supply, so the share sitting on exchanges is measured, not estimated.

ETH that leaves exchanges goes somewhere: into self-custody, staking deposits, DeFi, spot ETF custodians or company treasuries. The second page sets exchange balances beside staked ETH and ETF holdings, so a fall in exchange reserves can be read against where the ETH went.

Balances in layer 2 exchange wallets are shown on their own, since ETH on a rollup is backed by ETH already locked on mainnet and adding the two would count it twice.

Method

How it will be measured.

Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.

How receipts work →
  1. Exchange wallets are addresses each exchange publishes in its reserve lists, plus hot wallets and deposit addresses identified by their sweeps, each labelled with its source.
  2. Balances are native ETH from eth_getBalance plus WETH balanceOf for the same wallets at each day's last block; staked ETH and liquid staking tokens held by exchanges are counted apart, not as ETH.
  3. Netflow is ETH sent into labelled exchange wallets minus ETH sent out, from traces and WETH Transfer logs, with transfers between one exchange's own wallets removed.
  4. The share of supply divides exchange balances on Ethereum by total ETH supply on the same day; layer 2 exchange balances are reported separately and never added to it.

Questions

Questions people ask.

How much ETH is on exchanges?

The headline figure here is the ETH and WETH held in labelled exchange wallets on Ethereum at the latest day's last block, with each exchange's part. Totals published elsewhere differ mainly in which wallets they include, which is why every wallet here carries a source.

What does ETH leaving exchanges mean?

ETH withdrawn from exchanges moves to wallets, staking, DeFi or custodians and is no longer immediately available to sell on that exchange. Large outflows are often read as holders moving to long-term storage, but an exchange moving funds to a new wallet looks the same until that wallet is labelled.

Is WETH counted as ETH on exchanges?

Yes. WETH is ETH wrapped one for one in a contract, and exchanges hold both, so the dashboard adds WETH balances to native ETH for the same wallets. Staked ETH and liquid staking tokens are shown separately, because they cannot be withdrawn instantly.

Does staked ETH held by exchanges count?

Not in the headline figure. Exchanges that stake customer ETH hold validator balances or liquid staking tokens, which need an exit before they become ETH again. They are shown as their own series, beside the liquid ETH on exchanges.

Why are layer 2 exchange balances shown separately?

ETH on a rollup is a claim on ETH locked in the rollup's bridge on Ethereum. Adding exchange balances on layer 2s to those on mainnet would count the same ETH twice, so the dashboard keeps them apart.

WETH
Wrapped ether, an ERC-20 token backed one for one by ETH held in its contract.
Netflow
Value sent into exchange wallets minus value sent out over a period; positive means more arrived than left.
Liquid supply
ETH not locked in staking, bridges or long-term contracts, and so free to move or be sold.
