📰 BIS Study Flags Key Blind Spot in Bitcoin On-Chain Transfer Data
🗓️ Sep 15 2026 23:55 UTC
Estimates of how much economic activity flows through crypto networks can diverge dramatically depending on how analysts measure onchain activity. A new study from researchers at the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) finds that calculations of Bitcoin transfer values can v...
➤ A BIS study highlights significant discrepancies in on-chain data, particularly for Bitcoin, due to varying measurement methodologies.
➤ The research indicates that on-chain metrics like transfer value and market capitalization can be misleading and should be treated as 'noisy approximations' of economic activity.
➤ The study also points out complexities with stablecoins and smart contract activity on Ethereum, emphasizing the need for greater transparency in data definitions.
