Crypto and digital asset data covers prices, trading activity and blockchain activity for cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and tokens. Trading firms, funds, exchanges, risk teams, auditors and researchers use it for trading, valuation, fund accounting and compliance.
Typical fields:
- Asset, trading pair and venue
- Trades, OHLCV bars and order book snapshots or updates
- Reference rates and volume-weighted prices
- Derivatives data: funding rates, open interest, liquidations
- On-chain metrics: transactions, active addresses, fees, token flows
- Address labels for exchanges, funds and protocols
Sources and collection
Market data is collected from exchange APIs and websockets, then normalized across venues with different symbols, fee structures and timestamp conventions. On-chain data comes from running full nodes and indexing blocks, then decoding smart contract events. Address labeling relies on heuristics and public attributions, and labels can be wrong.
Delivery and pricing
Available as REST and websocket APIs, bulk history in cloud storage and warehouse shares. Pricing is usually monthly or annual, tiered by API rate limits, number of venues, history depth and whether full order book depth is included. Reference rates used for fund valuation may need a separate licence.
Before you buy
- Check how the provider screens out venues with suspicious or wash-traded volume.
- Confirm the timestamp source and time zone for trades and blocks.
- Ask how delisted assets and defunct venues are kept in history.
- For address labels, ask about the attribution method and confidence levels.
- Review uptime history and failover arrangements for real-time feeds.
