Description

Spot trading metrics offer a detailed view of activity across centralized exchanges (CEXs), highlighting both platform-level and trading pair-level dynamics. The associated dashboards are organized into three thematic categories: exchange overviews, USD and stablecoin overviews, and frequently traded token overviews. These views collectively support the analysis of ongoing and historical trends in the spot market. Access via the AmberLens platform is limited to three months of historical data.

​
Use Case

Traders: Spot trading metrics can be used to evaluate exchange-level trade histories, including market share by trading volume across exchanges and token categories. Frequently traded tokens are analyzed to assess their influence on overall market activity. Historical data on trading pairs supports the identification of momentum shifts, highlighting pairs gaining or losing market traction over time. **Researchers: **Researchers focused on market microstructure or the impact of external events can utilize spot trading metrics to assess shifts in trading activity across exchanges. The data supports correlation analyses with macroeconomic trends, token-specific developments, or regulatory events. Analysts: Market analysts often rely on trading volume and market share metrics to assess exchange performance, identify potential shifts in exchange profitability, or evaluate the impact of token listings and delistings. These insights also contribute to sentiment analysis within the broader centralized exchange ecosystem.

​
Methodology

The dashboards are powered by Amberdata’s Market Data endpoints, specifically the OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) and Metrics APIs. Data is aggregated at regular intervals and normalized across exchanges to ensure consistency in comparative analysis.
