Average bid/offer spreads by order size as a liquidity proxy Liquidity is often measured as a function of what impact a given size trade has on an existing market price. As volatility increases, market makers (ie exchanges) become increasingly less willing to make markets on either side given the potential for higher downside risk.

A traditional death cross occurs when the short-term moving average (ie 50D) crosses below its long-term average (ie 200D) while the opposite represents a golden cross. These types of technical chart patterns are commonly used by active traders as broader market trend indicators. | Keywords: sma, trends, indicators, technical
30D price percentage changes Monthly performance over a longer period of time often reveals more coherent trends while also allowing for more apples to apples comparisons with capital markets asset like commodities or equities. It can also provide better context for actual price changes relative to confusing headlines and social media narratives. | Keywords: roi, performance, returns, roi
Historical trends between daily transactions and hashrate. Network activity as measured by total daily transaction count was often cited as a strongly correlated indicator relative to hashrate until large breaks in the historical relationship were seen in early 2018. | Keywords: transactions, hashrate
Tracking the relationship of Tether (USDT) vs. Bitcoin (BTC) volumes The relationship between Bitcoin & Tether is clearly evident from a variety of angles. These patterns have helped drive the 'FUD' narrative concerning the potential demise of Tether as a genuinely viable stablecoin. As the broader market continues to grow and mature, the question remains: if Tether disappeared tomorrow would it make a material impact? | Keywords: btc, usdt, correlation, stablecoin, tether, volume
7D price percentage changes Weekly performance over a longer period of time often reveals more coherent trends while also allowing for more apples to apples comparisons with capital markets asset like commodities or equities. It can also provide better context for actual price changes relative to confusing headlines and social media narratives. | Keywords: roi, performance, returns, roi
Tracking synthetic crypto volatility benchmarks and derivatives In the absence of mature futures or options markets, exchanges offering derivative and synthetics trading often benefit. Access to leverage from 100-400x on some of these trading vehicles makes them even more important to track. After all, what could possibly go wrong? | Keywords: volatility, derivatives, bitmex, index
Tracking Bitcoin activity and usage in volatile emerging markets While growth trends of Bitcoin usage in emerging markets are more difficult to discern than the headlines would indicate, the clearest activity patterns emerge as spikes in reaction to local regulatory announcements. The explosion of volume in China immediately prior to and following the Chinese government's announcement banning all ICO related activity in early September of 2017 is perhaps the most notable. | Keywords: local, venezuela, iran, brazil, south africa, brl, fiat, embargo, sanction, adoption, inflation, vef, monetary policy, china
Measuring ETH gas fees relative to network transactions & complexity This basic metric is calculated by dividing the average daily gas spend by the quantity of transactions. The logic being that a basic transaction on Ethereum has a 21,000 gas
limit while more complex smart contracts (ie ICOs, crypto[insert animal], token transfers, airdrops, spam drops, staking payouts etc) require a higher limit. (*Note: this metric uses the assumed gas cost calculation of: IF ETH = $1000, THEN 21000 gas will cost 0.00000002 * 1000 * 21000 = 0.42 dollars, which is $0.42 cents USD). | Keywords: eth, gas, smart contract, fee, transaction, gwei

Year to date cumulative rolling daily returns 2019 opened with Ethereum plunging over 50% before putting in a double bottom. While most highly correlated ERC20 tokens suffered equal or worse damage, BTC, large and mid cap crypto benchmarks proved more resilient. Dispersion gave way to correlation as ETH rebounded strongly heading into the summer. *Note: you can use the zoom selector from the toolbox to zoom individually for each chart. | Keywords: roi, returns, performance, ytd, cumulative, benchmark, index

Relative market cap of native exchange tokens Crypto exchange tokens used to pay platform and trading fees have witnessed varying success with Binance (BNB) clearly standing out from the rest. Despite known issues concerning conflict of interest, security and market manipulation the paper trail of revenues and associated cashflows make exchange platforms a more 'familiar' economic model for most traditional investors. | Keywords: exchange, fees, rewards, trading, binance

Tracking activity, volumes and positioning in regulated crypto futures markets The introduction of regulated futures markets for Bitcoin was a widely anticipated and overhyped event. Difficult to argue there was no impact on the price from the introduction of a derivative instrument designed to provide traders with the ability to short and bet against the price of Bitcoin. As markets mature, the ability to hedge using futures will likely see the overall market continue to grow. | Keywords: cme, derivatives, futures, contract, swap, options, hedge, institutional, cftc, cboe, trading, volume
Average bid/offer spreads by order size as a liquidity proxy Liquidity is often measured as a function of what impact a given size trade has on an existing market price. As volatility increases, market makers (ie exchanges) become increasingly less willing to make markets on either side given the potential for higher downside risk. This is especially true as evidenced from the difference in market spreads for a 0 BTC, 10 BTC or 100 BTC size trade (small lot, round lot, block). | Keywords: liquidity, orderbook, trading, volume, oddlot

A method to query historical inflation data for a selection of top 500 crypto assets. Data is contingent on the underlying chain’s emission schedule, consensus model and additional factors and is thus subject to change. Data returned includes current, pctChg, absChg values for inflation, price, market cap, generated coins, supply and value of created coins.
Assessing network value with DeltaCap DeltaCap is calculated through the following formula, measuring the difference between two long-term Bitcoin moving averages: DeltaCap = (RealizedCap - AverageCap). | Keywords: utxo, realized cap, market cap, holders, trend, outputs, unspent
Exploring network valuation using MVRV MVRV is a simple ratio to measure network value using a novel metric for traditional market cap called Realised Cap. MVRV = Market Cap / Realised Cap. It can be useful for getting a sense of when the exchange traded price is below “fair value” or even as an indicator for potential cycle tops and bottoms. | Keywords: realised cap, market cap, valuation, metric
Evaluating novel metrics for Bitcoin valuation Bitcoin continues to defy and break most convential models across pricing, growth, trend, econometrics, epidemiological and more. Perspective and context are always valuable in these exercises especially when they can help frame it all in the same consumable dimension. Hats off to Will Woo's continued inspirational, thoughtful and creative work: (http://charts.woobull.com/). *Note: this chart is better viewed in larger size, click the button in right hand menu to enlarge. | Keywords: realised cap, market cap, valuation, metric, deltacap, nvt, mvrv, signal, willy woo

Comparing historical relative inflation trends for large cap assets Unlike conventional inflation measures including CPI, there is no central bank authority dictating, controlling or manipulating the target rate. Instead it is often set from genesis, defined in the governance protocol or established inside a dynamic decision making framework. Venezuela is a tragic reminder to carefully consider the difference between bankers & politicians vs. mathematical code. | Keywords: emission, supply, inflation, deflation, disinflation
Comparing relative inflation rates for large cap assets Inflation or 'emission' rates are an important dynamic in crypto asset valuation and can vary significantly across different consensus protocols and networks. | Keywords: emission, supply, inflation, deflation, disinflation
Account concentration vs. annual staking yield Crypto assets with proof of stake consensus models and others that offer staking and reward functions are increasingly popular with traditional cross over investors. Similarities with equities including payouts (dividends) and delegated voting (shareholder proxy votes) are also well known and well regulated globally making them a familiar construct with existing precedent. Also similar can be the large concentrated holders who often wield an asymmetric imbalance of power over governance and reward distribution. | Keywords: stake, pos, dividend, reward, yield
A method to query social data for thousands of crypto assets. Data returned includes detailed metrics for facebook, twitter and reddit community activity as well as code repo activity per symbol. Historical averages, velocity metrics, spoofing flags, growth ratios, bot activity vs. human, social penetration metrics and more are also available.
The technologies that enable bubbles are always new, but the
underlying social dynamics are not. The open and permissionless nature
of blockchains allows anyone to co-opt them. Thus, blockchains
enabled multiple social forces, all interacting in the same network, all
reied under the name “the ICO bubble.” | Keywords: ico, bubble, mania, hype, manipulation, sentiment, herd, social networks
We quantify four socio-economic signals about Bitcoin from
large datasets: price on online exchanges, volume of word-of-mouth communication
in online social media, volume of information search and user base
growth. By using vector autoregression, we identify two positive feedback
loops that lead to price bubbles in the absence of exogenous stimuli. | Keywords: sentiment, pattern, herd, manipulation, bubble, hype
