Flow on a stock token is the change in its supply over a stated window. Supply now, less supply at the start of the window, is the net number of tokens minted or redeemed. Multiply by a price and it is a dollar figure. The definition is short. The reading depends almost entirely on which window was used.
The day window
A one-day flow answers a narrow question: did more tokens exist at the end of the day than at the start. It is quick to react and easy to over-read. With stock tokens as small as they are today, a single holder creating or redeeming a position can be the whole of a day’s flow on a name. A large one-day figure is an event. It should not be read as a trend.
The week window
A seven-day flow is slower and steadier. One holder’s activity is a smaller share of it, and a number that stays positive across a week took more than one decision to produce. It is the better window for the question of whether on-chain demand for a name is building or draining.
A week also contains a weekend. Supply did not change over the weekend of 3 to 4 October 2026, so those two days added nothing to any token’s weekly flow. A week of flow is in practice a figure for the days when supply moved.
Reading them together
The useful read comes from setting the two side by side. A positive day inside a positive week is continuation. A positive day inside a negative week is one day against the drift, and one day is weak evidence. A flat day inside a strong week says the pace has paused. None of these is a forecast. Each describes what was created and destroyed, and stops there.
Count shares before dollars
Flow is cleanest in shares. Tokenized value can rise over a week because the stock went up, with no token minted at all. That is price, and calling it flow would be wrong. A dollar flow should be the change in supply multiplied by a price. The change in total value mixes two things. The mechanics of supply are in total supply: the number a contract always knows.
Dollar flow also inherits every weakness of the price used. If the price is a midpoint off a wide quote, the dollar flow is wrong by the same factor.
The window has to be true
Robinhood publishes no history for these tokens. A week of flow exists only where someone recorded supply a week ago. NoVo’s collector began recording every token’s supply on 4 October 2026. Until a record is seven days old, a seven-day figure cannot be computed, and the dashboards label the span the record really covers. The same rule is argued for perps in the open interest history the venue does not serve.
Where to see it
The Stocks On-Chain tab of the Crypto Market Map shows flow over a day and over a week for every stock token. The basics of the measure are in shares on-chain: what mint and redeem flow tells you.
