# Glassnode > Pioneering digital asset market intelligence Glassnode is a blockchain data and analytics company that provides on-chain metrics and market intelligence for digital assets. It serves institutional investors, traders, and researchers analyzing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets. Glassnode is a digital asset market intelligence company that aggregates on-chain and off-chain data into a unified analytics platform. It provides metrics covering market activity, blockchain fundamentals, and on-chain economics, drawing on data from blockchains, exchanges, and traditional financial markets. The platform is built for institutional investors, traders, and researchers who need consolidated data to analyze digital asset markets. The company addresses the fragmentation of digital asset data, which is often scattered across many disconnected sources such as spot and derivatives exchanges, ETF issuers, and blockchains themselves. It combines this information into timeseries metrics and dashboards that reveal patterns in network activity, investor behavior, supply dynamics, and profit and loss trends. Users can access this data through visual dashboards or programmatically through an API and related developer tools. Its flagship platform, Studio, serves as the primary gateway to the data layer, offering pre-built charts, dashboards, and an integrated API for subscribers. Additional offerings include a research arm publishing regular market analysis and a systematic allocation framework for Bitcoin. Glassnode is used by institutional investors, professional traders, and researchers seeking data driven insight into digital asset markets. - Type: Company - Sector: Data & Analytics - Status: Active - Founded: 2018-06-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/glassnode ## Products - [Glassnode Studio](https://thegrid.id/profiles/glassnode): Glassnode Studio is a data terminal that integrates on-chain and market data into customizable charts, dashboards, and real-time alerts for digital asset analysis.
