➤ The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) highlights significant discrepancies in on-chain metric calculations, particularly for Bitcoin transfer values, which can vary up to sixfold due to methodologies for handling 'change outputs'.
➤ The research also reveals that token tickers like 'USDT' are unreliable for identifying issuers, with thousands of Ethereum contracts reusing the symbol, underscoring the need to verify contract addresses.
➤ Differences in USDT usage between networks like Ethereum (DeFi-heavy) and Tron (transfer-focused) and the ambiguity in Total Value Locked (TVL) calculations further emphasize the critical need for clear definitions and context when interpreting on-chain data.
