Best for: Macro crypto analysts and investors who need comprehensive on-chain metrics for Bitcoin and Ethereum market cycle analysis.Glassnode is the premier on-chain analytics platform for Bitcoin and Ethereum, offering over 1,000 metrics covering holder behavior, market cycles, miner activity, exchange flows, and derivatives markets. It's the standard reference for macro on-chain analysis in the crypto industry.
The platform is built around the thesis that Bitcoin and Ethereum on-chain data contains signals about market cycles, investor psychology, and capital flows that complement traditional price analysis. Key metric families include: SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio), MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value), exchange netflows, long-term vs. short-term holder supply, and entity-adjusted metrics.
Glassnode's weekly "The Week On-Chain" newsletter is one of the most-read research pieces in crypto. The Glassnode Studio interface allows analysts to plot any combination of metrics, build custom charts, and export data. The API enables programmatic access to the full metric library.
