ETH: Spot Small-Trade Share (Under $1k)
Shown as its 3 Oct – 1 Nov 2026 sample; the latest readings and full history are included with Plus.
Share of ETH spot prints that were under $1,000, in each period.
Why use it. Prints under $1,000 are mostly retail-sized orders, so the share shows how much of the activity comes from small traders: a surge often goes with retail excitement, a fading share with quieter markets. How to read it. Read it against the coin's own range. It counts orders, not dollars: the volume share by trade size shows the dollars.
Calculation. 100 x prints under $1,000 / all prints, buys and sells together. Each period counts the trades whose venue timestamps fall inside it; the open period is a partial and fills in as its minutes are written, about ten seconds after each minute ends. Source: our own trade-by-trade capture of the public spot trade feeds of Binance, Bybit, Bitget, Gate, KuCoin, HTX, Crypto.com, OKX, Coinbase and Kraken, for ETH's spot markets against USD, USDT, USDC and FDUSD; every trade is bucketed by its US-dollar size as it arrives. A print is one taker order's execution at one moment as the venue publishes it: the fills one aggressive order makes against several resting orders at once are merged into one print, using the venue's own order, match or transaction identifiers where it publishes them (KuCoin, Coinbase, Bybit, OKX, Deribit, Crypto.com, HTX, Hyperliquid) and otherwise the same millisecond and side (the same microsecond on Kraken spot). A print is a fill, not a parent order: a large order split into smaller pieces over time, by an algorithm or by hand, lands in the buckets of its pieces, so the large buckets show what was executed in one go and the small buckets include pieces of larger orders. Who traded is not known: sizes say nothing about the identity of a trader. Stablecoin quotes (USDT, USDC, FDUSD) count at face value as USD. Trades missed during a reconnect are not estimated, and venues we do not collect are not included, so totals understate the whole market. History starts when this collection began on 20 October 2026; no earlier values are reconstructed. OKX, Coinbase and Kraken are included from 23 October 2026, when this collection added them; no earlier values are reconstructed for them.
