New research from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) suggests many of the headline metrics used to describe crypto activity—especially onchain
- New research from the BIS highlights significant discrepancies in on-chain data, particularly for Bitcoin transfer values, which can vary up to sixfold based on measurement methods.
- The study points out that common metrics like market capitalization and total value locked may overstate realized economic activity, with Ethereum's smart contracts and diverse stablecoin usage further complicating accurate analysis.
- BIS concludes that on-chain indicators should be treated as 'noisy approximations' rather than precise measures of economic activity, urging closer attention to methodology and data filtering.
