Coins reaching exchanges may be available for trading, but that possibility is not evidence of completed sales.

Bitcoin (BTC) exchange inflows track transfers to trading platforms, offering a measure of coins that may be available for trading without showing whether holders completed sales.

The reading records Bitcoin arriving at an exchange rather than confirming a completed transaction.

Coins held on trading platforms may be available to trade, but that status alone does not show a sale occurred.

An inflow describes where Bitcoin moved; on its own, it cannot show whether a trade followed.
