### Definition

The sum count of transactions that involved any address belonging to an exchange, as a sender or recipient of a non-zero transfer of native units, in that interval. If a transaction involves multiple exchanges, it is only counted once.

| Name                        | ID       | Unit         | Interval |
| --------------------------- | -------- | ------------ | -------- |
| Exchange Traded Fund Tx Cnt | TxEtfCnt | Transactions | 1 day    |

### Details

* Coinbase (i.e., miner reward) transactions are not counted.
* Only ETFs and their addresses that Coin Metrics has identified are included so this metric should be thought of as a minimum potential value.
