Exchange Wallet Labeling
Exchange wallet labeling is the process of identifying and tagging the addresses belonging to centralized exchanges. Because exchanges act as major hubs for liquidity and user activity, correctly labeling their wallets is essential for accurate on-chain analysis.
These labels allow researchers to track how much capital is moving onto or off of exchanges, which is a key indicator of market pressure. It is a highly manual and continuous process, as exchanges frequently change their wallet infrastructure and addresses.
Effective labeling provides a map of the market's structure, allowing analysts to distinguish between retail behavior and institutional market-making. It is one of the most valuable data sets in the field of on-chain intelligence.
