Stablecoin Transfer Volume, Adjusted for Bots

How much value do stablecoins move each day once bot, internal and round-trip transfers are removed?

About

What it answers, and for whom.

Raw stablecoin transfer volume counts every token movement: a single swap routed through several contracts, bots moving the same dollars back and forth and exchanges shuffling funds between their own wallets. This dashboard shows the raw figure beside an adjusted one with those movements removed, so the volume left is closer to value actually changing hands.

The adjustments are published rules, not a black box. Hops inside one transaction count once, addresses that behave like bots are set aside, transfers that return to the sender within a short window are netted and transfers between wallets of the same labelled entity are dropped. Each rule's effect has its own bar, so a reader can see how much each one removed.

Read the adjusted figure for the size of real activity and the removed bars for how much of the raw figure was noise. Compare chains on the adjusted figure, since raw volume favours chains with heavy automated trading.

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. Raw volume is the sum of Transfer events of every registered stablecoin per chain and UTC day, with mints and burns left out.
  2. Within one transaction, a chain of transfers that routes the same amount through contracts counts once, from the first sender to the final receiver, using the transaction's call trace.
  3. Senders that transact far more often than any person could, or whose transfers sit inside DEX swaps, are classed as bots and their transfers are set aside.
  4. Transfers that return the same amount to the sender within a short window are netted, and transfers between addresses of one labelled exchange or entity are removed.
  5. Each rule is versioned and its daily effect is published, with the transfers behind it in the receipt.

Questions

Questions people ask.

What is adjusted stablecoin volume?

It is transfer volume after removing movements that do not represent value changing hands: hops inside a single transaction, automated bot loops, round trips and transfers between one entity's own wallets. What remains is closer to payments, settled trades and real transfers between parties.

Why is raw stablecoin volume so large?

Because the same dollars are counted every time they move. One swap can create several transfers through routers and pools, and automated traders can move the same balance many times a day. Raw volume measures activity on the chain, not economic value.

Is adjusted volume the same as payments volume?

No. Adjusted volume still includes trade settlement, exchange deposits and DeFi activity between different parties. Payment-like transfers are a narrower slice, classified separately in the payments apps.

Can the adjustment remove real activity?

Sometimes. A busy business can look like a bot, and two wallets of one person look like two parties. The rules are published and each one's effect is shown, so readers can judge the figure and see exactly what each rule removed.

Internal hop
A transfer inside one transaction that passes funds through a router or pool on the way to the final receiver.
Round trip
Funds sent and returned to the same address within a short time, which adds volume without changing who holds what.
