Summary
Bitcoin’s onchain activity might be wildly misreported — new research reveals transaction metrics can vary sixfold depending on how you count them, largely due to Bitcoin’s change mechanism. The Bank for International Settlements found similar issues across Ethereum and Tron, warning that traditional crypto metrics like volume and market cap may be misleading. Stablecoins like USDT add further confusion, as the same token can serve multiple purposes across chains. Companies like Visa are already working on adjusted dashboards to filter out noise — showing trillions in raw data but only hundreds of billions when accounting for internal movements and high-frequency trading.
