On May 10, Coin Metrics’ internal systems fired off an alert that an abnormally large deposit took place on @Gemini. An hour later, markets fell almost 16%

Below we investigate the insights that holistic data strategy could provide during such an event

Great news – we've finally finished our more detailed parse of the Bitcoin blockchain, and we have a fully fleshed out suite of data ready for BTC specifically. This includes median tx fee, difficulty, median tx value, payment count, and more to come. Median figures are SO much more informative than averages. Here's mean versus median fees for BTC:
