Most on-chain data providers mislabel Gemini into OKEx or Coinbase.

For example, here's a user wallet from Gemini. If you see this user wallet <> hot wallet transaction,

Bitinfocharts says it's OKEx.
Whale Alert says it's Coinbase.

CryptoQuant has a very conservative algorithm maximizing a dusting process by directly sending BTC to exchanges. Other data providers are maximizing on clustering, which might mislabel other exchanges' wallets.

The worst way to collect address labels is by copying other data providers' labels. What makes ruining this industry is most data providers copying other providers' data.

Sending crypto directly to exchanges is not cost-effective, but it's the most accurate way.

Glassnode keep spreading misguided information, so we clarified what happend on Gemini deposit.

The source of funds is not Gemini if you track down transactions. They don't use P2SH addresses for user deposits wallets which prefix starts with '3'. It is supposed to start with 'bc1' or '1'.

If you make a user deposit wallet on Gemini, it only gives you Bech32 addresses or P2PKH addresses.

1. Bech32 addresses, which start with bc1
2. P2SH addresses, which start with 3
3. P2PKH addresses which start with 1

Here's the transaction link. We think there are three possibilities:

1. Whale deposited BTC into Gemini user wallet
2. Filling up Gemini's liquidity from other exchanges
3. OTC deals

This is NOT an internal transfer.

$ETH reserve across all centralized exchanges is decreasing, while $BTC reserve is repeating up and down since January this year.

And we just had the second-largest $ETH outflow this year in hourly data. It seems a sell-side liquidity crunch on centralized exchanges is intensifying. This is bullish.

Simple exchange reserve analysis for altcoins:

🟢 Reserve is decreasing:
$YFI / $MKR / $LINK (noticeable)

🟡 Pretty much flat:
$COMP / $SUSHI / $UNI / $AAVE

🔴 Reserve is increasing:
$SNX / $BAT / $UMA (noticeable)

In sell-side liquidity-wise, $LINK looks good, and $UMA looks bad in the long-term. This is an oversimplified analysis tho. Do your own research.
