Glassnode
Crypto · On-Chain Analytics
Institutional on-chain metrics that translate raw blockchain activity into market-relevant signals.
Overview
Glassnode is a leading on-chain analytics platform that turns raw blockchain activity into market-relevant metrics and charts. Analysts and institutions use it to understand what holders are actually doing — beyond what price alone reveals.
It surfaces indicators like exchange in/outflows, supply held by long-term holders, profitability metrics (MVRV, SOPR, NUPL) and network activity, with a free tier and paid plans for deeper, higher-resolution data. It works best as a third lens alongside price charts and derivatives data.
