About CryptoKeyhole

CryptoKeyhole is an independent analytics site for Bitcoin, Ethereum and a growing list of coins. Its numbers come from blockchain nodes we run and market data we collect, and every chart shows its method.

What we measure

We publish two kinds of data, side by side:

  • On-chain: how many coins exist and how long they have been held, the price at which they last moved and the profit or loss they carry, coins moving into and out of exchanges, mining, fees, staking and the tokens on Ethereum.
  • Markets: prices and volume, futures open interest, funding and liquidations, options flow, order books, the daily flows of the US spot bitcoin and ether ETFs, and the bitcoin that public companies report holding.

You can read them as charts with their history, dashboards, free tools and plain-English guides, set alerts on them, or take them away through the API, spreadsheets and MCP for AI assistants.

Where the numbers come from

Nodes we run

We run full nodes for Bitcoin (Bitcoin Core, every block since January 2009), Ethereum (an Erigon archive node with the Lighthouse consensus client, every block since July 2015), Litecoin, Dogecoin and Bitcoin Cash, and a Lightning node that reads the public channel graph. Every on-chain chart is calculated from our own copy of the chain.

Market data we collect

Prices, trades, order books, futures, funding, open interest, liquidations and options are gathered by our own collectors from exchanges’ public APIs, among them Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit, Deribit and Hyperliquid. Each chart names the venues it uses.

Published files and filings

US spot ETF figures come from each issuer’s own daily holdings files, and the bitcoin held by public companies from their filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (EDGAR).

Our methodology sets out the sources by type, including the official economic statistics some charts use, and explains how each kind of measure is calculated.

How we keep the numbers honest

Every chart explains itself

Beneath each chart is what it shows, why it matters and how to read it, where the data comes from and how it is calculated, with its units, coverage and limits. The same methods are published as JSON in our metric catalogue.

Fresh data, honest delays

Live charts run to the latest completed UTC hour, and daily charts show the open day as a labelled partial. When a source is late or a check fails, the chart says it is delayed or held rather than passing old figures off as current.

Nothing filled in

We never invent values. When data is missing, the period stays empty instead of being filled with zeros or estimates. Where a figure is a model or an estimate, the chart says so and explains how it is made.

Organisations, never individuals

We name only organisations, such as exchanges, funds, miners and companies, from public information like the addresses exchanges publish as their own. We do not track or profile any individual’s wallet.

Who runs CryptoKeyhole

CryptoKeyhole is run from the United Kingdom by an individual trading as CryptoKeyhole. It is independent: no exchange, fund or token issuer owns it.

The site runs on our own servers in the United Kingdom. It is a research tool: it does not give investment advice, hold or move assets, or connect to wallets.
