On-Chain and Derivatives Indicators for Crypto Market Analysis
Summary
This announcement describes a set of Into The Block indicators made available through a crypto exchange's BTC and ETH market data pages. The listed measures cover futures and perpetual turnover and funding rates, volatility, blockchain addresses, ownership, concentration, and transactions. Comparing derivatives activity across major exchanges can add context to a single venue's market readings, while network measures can describe activity and how ownership is distributed.
The provider's stated approach combines blockchain information collected from network nodes with pricing and off-chain datasets. Machine learning and statistical modeling are used to analyze these inputs, and the infrastructure is described as updating blockchain data with sub-minute latency and other datasets every few minutes. The announcement explains the kinds of data and collection process, but supplies no indicator definitions, predictive validation, historical results, or instructions for turning readings into trades. These measures therefore require independent interpretation and testing before use in a strategy.
