Yeah that makes sense. But you'd think with all the talk about how easy it is to track bitcoin onchain that this would be easy to document.

I don't think exchanges do onchain transactions for trades, only for deposits and withdrawals
Or I might have gotten you wrong

Yeah not what I'm talking about. I'm almost 100% sure all trading is offchain. What talking about if the onchain record of bitcoin before a user withdraws their bitcoin. Showing where to exchange received the bitcoin they are sending to users.
If it was sold to them by miners then that should be easy to track. I'm just speculating.
