Historical Crypto, DeFi, Mempool, and CME Data for Trading Research
Summary
The document describes the delivery of historical and current market and blockchain datasets through cloud storage, including data in a format suited to analytical workflows. The described coverage includes decentralized exchange trades and liquidity, lending activity on named Ethereum protocols, mempool transactions across several blockchains, centralized exchange spot and futures markets, and CME futures and options. These datasets can support research and backtesting: liquidity histories can help examine price and reserve movements, lending records expose deposits, borrowing, repayments and liquidations, and mempool histories can be used to study transaction inclusion, gas prices, and extractable-value behavior.
The text explains potential research uses rather than presenting a strategy or empirical findings. It provides no tests showing that access to these data improves trading performance, and it does not describe sampling, cleaning, latency, completeness, or survivorship limitations. Some data availability is described as phased, and CME access is subject to licensing. Researchers would need to assess dataset definitions and coverage before drawing conclusions or using the records in a backtest.
Key ideas
- Historical DEX trades and liquidity can support analysis of prices, liquidity distributions, and token reserve flows.
- Lending protocol histories include actions such as deposits, borrowing, repayments, liquidations, and withdrawals.
- Mempool records can be used to investigate transaction inclusion timing, gas prices, and MEV-related activity.
- Centralized exchange spot and futures histories can support strategy research and backtesting.
- The document describes data access and possible uses but offers no evidence of trading performance.
