Methodology

ScopeUSDC and USDT flows over the trailing 8 weeks. Source: Allium Identity geo — country_corridors_weekly and entity_flows_weekly.
Country attributionhosted local/regional exchanges use their operating country; unhosted wallets use inferred geography. Legs that can't be placed are 'unattributed' and excluded from bilateral corridors.
Payment typeBusiness = hosted exchange/institution wallet, Consumer = self-custodied wallet. Combinations give B2B, B2C, C2B, C2C; either side untyped is Unclassified.
Net flowinbound minus outbound volume per country, counterparty = rest of world.
