Reported Volume

Overview

The reported volume in U.S. dollars for various aggregations of spot markets, futures markets, and option markets. These metrics are available for assets, exchanges, exchange-assets, and pairs. These metrics are referred to as reported because the input data is reported trades from centralized and decentralized exchanges.

Data Sources and Methodology

The input data source for the reported volume metrics are trades collected from centralized and decentralized exchanges in Coin Metrics's coverage universe. The trade amounts are converted to U.S. dollars and summed over the interval defined in the metric name.

Let us define the following notation:

• $i$: index of an individual trade

• $t_i$: timestamp of trade $i$

• $Q_i$: quantity in contract-units of trade $i$

• $\mathrm{Price}(t_i)$: price of trade $i$ at time $t_i$ (in margin-asset units per contract)

• $S$: size of one futures or option contract (size-asset units per contract)

• $\mathrm{ReferenceRate}_{\mathrm{base}}(t_i)$: price of one unit of the base asset in U.S. dollars at time $t_i$

• $\mathrm{ReferenceRate}_{\mathrm{size}}(t_i)$: price of one unit of the sizeasset at time $t_i$

• $\mathrm{ReferenceRate}_{\mathrm{margin}}(t_i)$: price of one unit of the margin asset at time $t_i$

• $\mathcal{I}_{\mathrm{spot}}(T)$: set of spot trades in period $T$

• $\mathcal{I}_{\mathrm{fut}}(T)$: set of futures trades in period $T$

• $\mathcal{I}_{\mathrm{opt}}(T)$: set of option trades in period $T$

The reported spot volume metrics volume_reported_spot_* are defined as:

$$\mathrm{VolumeReportedSpot}(T) \;=\; \sum_{i \,\in\, \mathcal{I_{spot}}(T)} Q_i \;\times\; \mathrm{ReferenceRate_{base}}(t_i)$$

The reported futures volume metrics volume_reported_future_* are defined as:

$$\mathrm{VolumeReportedFuture}(T) \;=\; \sum_{i \,\in\, \mathcal{I}_{\mathrm{fut}}(T)} Q_i \;\times\; S \;\times\; \mathrm{ReferenceRate}_{\mathrm{size}}(t_i)$$

The reported option market value volume metrics volume_reported_option_*_market_value_* are defined as:

$$\mathrm{VolumeReportedOptionMarketValue}(T) \;=\; \sum_{i \,\in\, \mathcal{I}_{\mathrm{opt}}(T)} Q_i \;\times\; \mathrm{Price}(t_i) \;\times\; S \;\times\; \mathrm{ReferenceRate}_{\mathrm{margin}}(t_i)$$

The reported option notional volume metrics volume_reported_option_*_notional_* are defined as:

$$\mathrm{VolumeReportedOptionNotional}(T) \;=\; \sum_{i \,\in\, \mathcal{I}_{\mathrm{opt}}(T)} Q_i \;\times\; S \;\times\; \mathrm{ReferenceRate}_{\mathrm{size}}(t_i)$$

Coin Metrics calculates these metrics for various entities: assets, exchanges, exchange-assets, and pairs. For each entity, the markets used as input in the calculation differ. The entity defines a set of markets that are used in the calculation. The metric description further filters to a specific subset of markets as defined in the metric description.

• For assets, the markets included are any market where the asset is either the base asset or quote asset and match the markets in the metric description.

• For exchanges, the markets included are any market that is listed on the exchange and match the markets in the metric description.

• For exchange-assets, the markets included are any market that is listed on the exchange and the asset is either the base asset or quote asset and match the markets in the metric description.

• For pairs, the markets included are any market across all exchanges that contain the pair and match the markets in the metric description.
