The supply of a token on exchanges is a parameter that is usually closely monitored. The top coins, Bitcoin, Ethereum are especially closely monitored when it comes to the supply on exchanges. What about HIVE?
What is the share of the HIVE supply held on exchanges? What is the trend is it going up or down? How has deposited/withdraw the most in 2023? Let’s take a look!
Here we will be looking at the following:
- Daily and monthly deposits to exchanges
- Daily and monthly withdrawals from exchanges
- Top accounts that deposited to exchanges
- Top accounts that withdraw from exchanges
- Net deposits VS withdrawals
- HIVE balance on exchanges
Exchanges taken in the analysis: Upbit, Binance, Bithumb, Bittrex, Hive Engine, Huobi, Gate.io, Probit, Ionomy, MXC, and Indodax. There are few more exchanges but the volume there is quite low.
The period that we will be looking at is 2022 – 2023.
Deposits To Exchanges
Here is the chart for the daily transfers/deposits to exchanges.
Note: Transfers between exchanges accounts are excluded from the data above.
We can notice some spikes in the data above, and the low volume in October. This was around the Hardfork when deposits and withdrawals to the major exchanges were suspended.
The overall trend seems quite steady with maybe an increase in 2023. On average there is 370k HIVE deposited daily.
The monthly chart for the deposits looks like this.
This is a clearer representation.
October 2022 was the lowest recently and February 2023 had the highest with 13M HIVE deposits.
Note that these are not NET deposits. To get this we need withdrawals and we will look at those bellow.
Withdrawals From Exchanges
The chart for the daily withdrawals looks like this.
As for the above, here as well the transfers between exchanges accounts are excluded.
Ona average there has been 332k HIVE withdrawn from exchanges on a daily basis, in 2022.
The chart for the monthly withdrawals looks like this.
An oscillation between 4M up to 12M per month.
Again, October 2022 was one of the lowest in withdrawals, but also March 2023. In the other months January, February and April 2023 there is 12M HIVE per month withdrawn from exchanges.
Monthly Net Deposits VS Withdrawals in 2022 - 2023
When we add the deposits and withdrawals on a monthly basis the chart looks like this.
We can notice in the recent months that there is more months where the withdrawals of HIVE from exchanges, but with one big spike in March 2023, where there is a net 5M more deposited on exchanges. Aprils is around 1M HIVE net withdrawn form exchanges.
In summary a total of 4M net HIVE was transferred to exchanges in 2023. While positive it still not as big number. For comparison 2022 had more HIVE deposited to exchanges, a total 15M, while 2021 had more HIVE withdrawn from exchanges, a total of 2.5M.
Top Accounts That Deposited To Exchanges in 2023
Who has transferred the most funds to exchanges? Here is the chart for the year.
The @swap2020 account is on the top with more than 2M HIVE deposited, followed by @blocktrades, @mika and @mottler.
Note that this is a net HIVE deposited to exchanges, with both deposits and withdrawals taken into account.
Top Accounts That Withdrawn From Exchanges in 2023
Who has withdrawn the most funds from exchanges? Here is the chart for the year.
The @lazy-panda is on the top here with 2M HIVE withdrawn from exchanges, followed by @hivehbd and @havgotdreams.
HIVE Balance On Exchanges
What is the amount of HIVE on exchanges?
Here is the chart.
As we can see the overall HIVE balance on exchanges has been growing throughout 2022 and 2023, with some dips along the way. Recenlty there were small dips in April and one more in February 2023.
The year started with 139M HIVE on exchanges and now we are at 144M HIVE on exchanges.
When we plot the balance on the exchanges against the total HIVE supply, we get this.
HIVE share on exchanges.
From the chart above we can say that the HIVE balance on exchanges has been growing both in absolute and in relative terms.
There was some oscillation in 2023, a drop back in February, a steady increase in March, a drop again in April and somewhat a steady share in May 2023.
At the begging of 2023 there was 35% of the HIVE supply on exchanges and now there is a 36% or a 1% increase. In 2022 there was an increase from 33% to 35%.
The top exchanges that hold HIVE are the following:
Upbit is abslutly dominant with almost 100M HIVE. On the second spot is Binance with 26M, followed by Bithumb.
More HIVE has continued to flow on exchanges in 2023 athough maybe at slower pace. Upbit solidifying its number one position with now close to 100M HIVE or around 25% of the supply.
In percent share the growth is 1%, from 35% to 36% of the total HIVE held on exchanges. Even if we go two years back this number was around 33%.
Getting HIVE on more DEXs will be a significant improvement and I hope that this will happen in the future as more second layer solutions are built on HIVE, but also expanding HIVE to other smart contract platforms and apps like Uniswap.
All the best
