Get Spike Alerts
Recent large transfers (≥ min_amount USD) to/from tracked CEX wallets.
Useful for catching whale-sized deposits in real time. Each alert carries amount in TOKEN-NATIVE units (with unit) plus amount_usd converted at ingestion from the live price — the min_amount threshold applies to amount_usd, so meme-token unit counts can't masquerade as dollar spikes. Rows whose USD value can't be verified (no live price) are excluded.
This is a LIVE feed of the last 500 large transfers (roughly the last 10h). The full history — every row, from 2026-10-08 — is the exchange_flow_spikes type on /api/v1/backtesting/snapshots; each snapshot is the batch of rows first seen in that 5-minute tick, so concatenating a range lists each transfer once.
