Access Trusted Digital Asset Data Directly in Your Environment

Snowflake is the data warehouse of choice for institutional finance. But until now, integrating digital asset data into these workflows meant building custom API ingestion pipelines, managing ETL jobs, and reconciling data updates. That's engineering overhead that should be spent on alpha generation.

Our Snowflake integration eliminates all of it. Through Snowflake Marketplace private listings, our data shares deliver the full history of every trusted Glassnode metric directly into your environment.

You query it like any other table in your warehouse, because that's exactly what it is.

What's Included

This is the same data that powers the research workflows of the world's leading crypto-native institutions, now accessible without a single API call.

On-Chain Analytics | Address activity, entity behavior, supply dynamics, exchange flows, miner metrics, and advanced clustering-based insights across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and beyond.

Derivatives | Futures open interest, funding rates, liquidations, plus our recently expanded options suite: premiums, taker flows, combo strategies, implied volatility surfaces, and more.

Spot & Exchange Data | Exchange balances, inflow/outflow dynamics, and venue-level breakdowns showing capital rotation in real time.

ETFs & Corporate Treasuries | Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows, AUM dynamics, and corporate treasury holdings.

Multiple Resolutions | 10-minute, hourly, and daily granularity for everything from intraday signals to long-horizon macro research.

Built For The Workflows You Run

Quantitative & Systematic Trading | Query the full depth of on-chain, derivatives, and market data in SQL alongside your proprietary signals. PiT variants for backtesting fidelity. Sub-hourly resolution for intraday signals. No rate limits, no pagination.

Risk & Portfolio Construction | A unified view of exchange concentration, leverage dynamics, ETF flows, and supply overhangs. Native Snowflake delivery means direct integration with existing risk dashboards.

Multi-Strategy & Macro Research | Join Glassnode data with equity, fixed income, and macro datasets already in your warehouse. Same query layer, no middleware.

Fund Operations & Compliance | No bespoke pipelines means less operational risk. Snowflake's access controls and audit logging handle governance out of the box. Point-in-time timestamps provide data lineage for regulatory requirements and internal governance.

Eliminate Look-Ahead Bias from Backtests

For quantitative teams, historical data integrity is non-negotiable. Backtesting on retroactively revised data isn't backtesting. It's overfitting.

Glassnode is the first to offer point-in-time (PiT) blockchain data in Snowflake. PiT metrics are append-only and historically immutable. Each data point reflects exactly what was known when it was computed. No retroactive corrections, no look-ahead bias.

This matters because on-chain data is inherently mutable. Clustering improvements, late-reported exchange data, and refined labeling can all trigger revisions to standard metrics. PiT variants freeze the record, so your backtests reflect the information that was actually available to participants at each point in time. Every PiT data point includes a computed_at timestamp for full auditability.

Getting Started

Whether you're building backtested systematic models, integrating crypto into a cross-asset framework, or standing up institutional-grade risk infrastructure, Glassnode on Snowflake is the fastest path from blockchain data to production.

7 Months After the Collapse of Huiwang, Southeast Asia's Escrow Platforms Undergo a Major Reshuffle

Following the collapse of Huione Pay—dubbed the "Alipay of Southeast Asia"—seven months ago, the region's underground financial guarantee platform sector is undergoing a significant reshuffle. This power vacuum has been swiftly filled by emerging platforms such as XinBi, Tiger/Navigator, JinBei (renamed JinBo), Dali/Tiancheng, and FullyLight. These platforms, operating largely via Telegram and offering services like escrow for illicit transactions, have absorbed the vast user base and markets left behind by Huione. While positioning themselves as "trust intermediaries," their primary clientele consists of networks involved in online scams, money laundering, illegal gambling, and even human trafficking. For instance, the Tiger/Navigator platform explicitly provides "escrow" services for kidnapping-for-ransom operations ("强押车交易"). Data underscores the immense scale: Huione alone processed over $103 billion in cryptocurrency payments and facilitated over $31 billion through its escrow market before its downfall, linking it to Cambodia's notorious Prince Group. Since its collapse, competitors have seen explosive growth. For example, the XinBi platform has accumulated over $1.6 billion in total USDT revenue, while platforms like NewPay, OkPay (under Dali), and FullyLight Wallet collectively processed over $4.8 billion in USDT in a single year. This ecosystem thrives in regions like Cambodia and Myanmar, where regulatory gaps allow these platforms to act as critical financial infrastructure for sprawling cybercrime industries, from scam compounds to online casinos. The article concludes that the moniker "Southeast Asian Alipay" is a misnomer, obscuring the platforms' fundamental role in enabling serious criminal enterprises rather than representing legitimate financial innovation.

The Changing Landscape: What Are Crypto VCs Experiencing?

Title: The Shifting Landscape of Crypto Venture Capital The era of dedicated crypto venture capital funds is undergoing a significant transformation. Once essential for navigating the sector's complexity and high risk, these specialized funds are now facing an identity crisis as the market matures. This shift mirrors historical patterns in other specialized investment classes like cleantech and SPACs, where initial information advantages dissipate as technologies become mainstream and integrated into existing industry frameworks. The article argues that crypto is reaching a critical inflection point, transitioning from a "building phase" to an "integration phase." Major players like Stripe, BlackRock, and Visa now engage with crypto not for its novel mechanics but as a foundational financial infrastructure. Their needs—regulatory compliance, banking partnerships, distribution channels—align with traditional fintech, a domain easily understood by large, generalist funds like Sequoia and Founders Fund. This evolution creates a "barbell effect" within the VC landscape. On one end are massive, diversified platforms that can incorporate crypto as one vertical among many. On the other are small, nimble funds focused on niche, experimental projects. The middle ground—medium-sized dedicated crypto funds—is being squeezed out. Their typical fund size makes it impossible to generate sufficient returns solely from early-stage crypto bets, yet they cannot compete with giants for later-stage deals. Consequently, leading crypto-native firms like Paradigm and Framework Ventures are expanding into AI, robotics, and other sectors, driven partly by LP pressure for better returns amid a broader VC DPI crisis. Others, like Dragonfly and a16z, have narrowed their crypto focus predominantly to financial infrastructure like stablecoins, reframing the sector's core narrative. For crypto entrepreneurs, this consolidation presents challenges. While generalist funds offer larger checks and broader resources, crypto projects now compete fiercely with AI for attention and capital within these firms. Furthermore, the long-term, non-commercial foundational work that built the ecosystem—funded by dedicated crypto VCs—is less likely to attract generalist capital focused on direct returns. The conclusion is that "crypto investor" as a standalone category is becoming obsolete, akin to "internet investor." Crypto is becoming a baseline infrastructure layer. The future will see a barbell structure: large-scale growth financing handled by generalist funds, while pioneering, speculative projects are funded by small, specialized vehicles. The dedicated crypto funds of the 2017-2021 boom, which incubated core infrastructure, are giving way to this new, bifurcated reality.

As Consensus Accelerates, What Are Young Investors Betting On?

Title: As Consensus Forms Faster, What Are Young Investors Betting On? In the rapid evolution of tech investment, a new generation of young investors is navigating a landscape where AI, robotics, commercial aerospace, and quantum computing are advancing simultaneously. Traditional investment logic based on financial models is giving way to a need for deep technical understanding and the ability to act before industry consensus forms. An analysis of trends from the "WAIC FUTURE TECH" list of young investment leaders reveals key shifts in focus. The first major trend is the movement of AI from the digital screen into the physical world. Investment is shifting from large language models and chatbots towards embodied AI, robotics, AI hardware, and edge computing. While demonstrations generate excitement, the real challenge lies in achieving scalable, reliable, and cost-effective delivery in complex real-world environments like factories and logistics. Success depends not just on algorithms but on the integration of sensors, actuators, and control systems. Second, the competitive focus for large models is moving beyond raw capability toward building an "intelligence flywheel." The goal is to create self-reinforcing systems where user interaction generates data, improving the model, which in turn enhances the user experience and attracts more engagement. Companies that successfully embed AI into workflows to create these closed-loop systems can build lasting value that isn't easily erased by the next model upgrade. Third, facing a potential bottleneck in high-quality human-generated data, investors are looking at new underlying technologies. Reinforcement learning and self-play, as demonstrated by AlphaGo Zero, offer paths for AI to generate its own experience. Scientific foundation models, which aim to build general AI capabilities for fields like life sciences and materials discovery, represent a non-consensus direction that could unlock new frontiers of knowledge and data. Finally, in deep-tech areas like quantum computing, commercial aerospace, and space-based infrastructure, patient capital is essential. These fields have long, uncertain development and validation cycles involving complex engineering, supply chains, and regulations. Investment here requires a long-term view, focusing on foundational team capabilities and the eventual emergence of market demand, even if commercial returns are distant. Collectively, these trends illustrate how young investors are adapting to a new era. They are learning to make earlier, technically-informed judgments, balance hype with real-world viability, and provide the patient capital needed to build the deep-tech foundations of the future.
