Glassnode
On-chain analytics. SOPR, NUPL, address activity, holder behavior. Institutional level.
Overview
Glassnode is the industry-leading on-chain analytics platform, providing institutional-grade blockchain data and intelligence. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, Glassnode focuses primarily on Bitcoin and Ethereum, offering over 3,500 on-chain metrics that reveal market cycles, investor sentiment, and network health.
The platform translates raw blockchain data into actionable indicators, enabling traders and investors to understand supply dynamics, holder behavior, and network fundamentals. Glassnode has become synonymous with on-chain analysis, popularizing metrics such as SOPR, NUPL, MVRV, and Realized Cap.
Glassnode serves a wide audience from retail investors to hedge funds and institutional desks, providing the depth of data needed to make informed decisions based on blockchain fundamentals rather than price action alone.
