Glassnode

Glassnode is the world's leading market intelligence platform for digital assets, founded in 2019 as a spinout from Swissblock. The company empowers institutional investors, traders, and researchers with comprehensive blockchain data, analytics, and research to uncover the key drivers of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and beyond.

Core Products & Services

Glassnode's platform combines three integrated offerings:

Glassnode Data serves as the data backbone for institutional strategies, providing 7,500+ on-chain metrics across 1,200 assets on 8 blockchains. The platform delivers high-resolution blockchain and market data through multiple channels including API (with 220ms baseline latency), direct data delivery via Snowflake and BigQuery, Excel add-in, and MCP for AI model connectivity. Coverage spans on-chain fundamentals (transaction activity, network metrics, hash rate, staking), market intelligence (investor sentiment, capital flows, profit/loss analysis), and off-chain market data from 20+ exchanges (spot, futures, options, ETF flows).

Glassnode Studio is an intuitive analytics suite that integrates on-chain, spot, and derivatives data into a unified workspace. The platform features near real-time market scanning, custom chart creation with backtesting capabilities, customizable dashboards, and instant alert systems. Studio provides access to 5,000+ metrics across 1,200 assets with up to 1-hour metric resolution, enabling traders and investors to monitor signals and detect structural market shifts through a feature-rich interface designed for precision market analysis.

Glassnode Insights delivers market intelligence through multiple research channels including Market Pulse snapshots, The Week On-Chain (described as the industry's most influential on-chain analysis), and Market Vectors premium reports by Swissblock. Beyond newsletters, Glassnode offers research-as-a-service including commissioned bespoke research, white-label reports for external distribution, and collaborative co-branded publications backed by Glassnode's research, design, and marketing capabilities.

Key Strengths

Glassnode's technology infrastructure leverages industry-leading entity labeling and clustering technology that removes noise from market participant behavior, providing entity-adjusted sophisticated metrics.
