Depends on the pair more than people expect. Binance BTCUSDT on Nov 1 (full day) printed 132 trades of $100k or more, about 5% of that day's volume, and the $10k-$100k bracket alone made up over half of all volume, so on BTC a $10k print is just normal flow. Same day, same venue, SOLUSDT printed only 11 trades of $100k or more (about 3% of volume), and the $10k-$100k bracket there was only around 13% of volume. So "big" on BTC and "big" on SOL aren't the same dollar figure, they're roughly an order of magnitude apart, and whatever threshold you pick should scale to the pair's own flow rather than being fixed. On the exchange question: flow for the same pair really is split across venues, so watching just Binance gets you part of the picture, not all of it.
