From CryptoKeyhole’s own US dollar price indexes of public exchange markets (daily closes at 00:00 UTC) and the supply our nodes count or, for coins whose chain we do not run, the project’s own published supply. Returns use each coin’s own closes; volatility, falls and correlation use the days both coins have a close.
