About this event
Market data firms are integral to the digital assets ecosystem.
Available market data in the digital assets ecosystem is fragmented across numerous digital asset exchanges and more recently decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. Issues mostly revolve around the lack of data standardization; having to deal with thousands of spreadsheets is not an uncommon occurrence. Scattered datasets require skilled practitioners for data collection, computing infrastructure to transport and store market data, and computation-intensive resources for heavy data processing.
Since the vast majority of stakeholders are those seeking to financialize digital assets (i.e. investors, speculators, miners, etc.), the core use case for market data is to backtest trading strategies. The “Market Data Granularity Pyramid” examines the different categories of market data and talks about their relationship to backtesting; stakeholders should always keep backtesting in mind when thinking about digital assets market data.
