Executive Summary

The most sophisticated institutional teams don't just need better data. They need it inside the environments where their research and execution workflows already run.
We've launched Glassnode's Snowflake Data Sharing environment, becoming the first provider to bring comprehensive on-chain analytics into the Snowflake ecosystem.
To get started or learn more about Glassnode Data Shares, talk to our product experts.
Request access Access Trusted Digital Asset Data Directly in Your Environment
Snowflake is the data warehouse of choice for institutional finance. But until now, integrating digital asset data into these workflows meant building custom API ingestion pipelines, managing ETL jobs, and reconciling data updates. That's engineering overhead that should be spent on alpha generation.
Our Snowflake integration eliminates all of it. Through Snowflake Marketplace private listings, our data shares deliver the full history of every trusted Glassnode metric directly into your environment.
You query it like any other table in your warehouse, because that's exactly what it is.
What's Included
This is the same data that powers the research workflows of the world's leading crypto-native institutions, now accessible without a single API call.
On-Chain Analytics. Address activity, entity behavior, supply dynamics, exchange flows, miner metrics, and advanced clustering-based insights across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and beyond.
Derivatives. Futures open interest, funding rates, liquidations, plus our recently expanded options suite: premiums, taker flows, combo strategies, implied volatility surfaces, and more.
Spot & Exchange Data. Exchange balances, inflow/outflow dynamics, and venue-level breakdowns showing capital rotation in real time.
ETFs & Corporate Treasuries. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows, AUM dynamics, and corporate treasury holdings.
Multiple Resolutions. 10-minute, hourly, and daily granularity for everything from intraday signals to long-horizon macro research.
Built For The Workflows You Run
Quantitative & Systematic Trading. Query the full depth of on-chain, derivatives, and market data in SQL alongside your proprietary signals. PiT variants for backtesting fidelity. Sub-hourly resolution for intraday signals. No rate limits, no pagination.
Risk & Portfolio Construction. A unified view of exchange concentration, leverage dynamics, ETF flows, and supply overhangs. Native Snowflake delivery means direct integration with existing risk dashboards.
Multi-Strategy & Macro Research. Join Glassnode data with equity, fixed income, and macro datasets already in your warehouse. Same query layer, no middleware.
Fund Operations & Compliance. No bespoke pipelines means less operational risk. Snowflake's access controls and audit logging handle governance out of the box. Point-in-time timestamps provide data lineage for regulatory requirements and internal governance.
Eliminate Look-Ahead Bias from Backtests
For quantitative teams, historical data integrity is non-negotiable. Backtesting on retroactively revised data isn't backtesting. It's overfitting.
Glassnode is the first to offer point-in-time (PiT) blockchain data in Snowflake. PiT metrics are append-only and historically immutable. Each data point reflects exactly what was known when it was computed. No retroactive corrections, no look-ahead bias.
This matters because on-chain data is inherently mutable. Clustering improvements, late-reported exchange data, and refined labeling can all trigger revisions to standard metrics. PiT variants freeze the record, so your backtests reflect the information that was actually available to participants at each point in time. Every PiT data point includes a computed_at timestamp for full auditability.
Getting Started
Whether you're building backtested systematic models, integrating crypto into a cross-asset framework, or standing up institutional-grade risk infrastructure, Glassnode on Snowflake is the fastest path from blockchain data to production.
To request a trial or to learn more about Glassnode Data Shares, reach out to our institutional team at sales@glassnode.com.
The setup for Glassnode on Snowflake
Retrieve your Snowflake account identifier via Snowflake's standard process or a simple SQL query.
Share it with the Glassnode team. We provision access through Snowflake Marketplace private listings.
Accept the listing. After initial replication, the data is live in your warehouse.
Data shares are organized by package (on-chain, market, signals, common, metadata), so you subscribe to what you need. Updates flow automatically.
Alternatively, you can initiate a trial via the Snowflake listing.
ℹ️ Find the full setup documentation in Glassnode docs. Glassnode Delivers the Analytical Depth That Drives Alpha
Coverage alone doesn't differentiate. What sets us apart is analytical depth built over nearly a decade of institutional-grade data engineering.
Proprietary entity adjustment. Our clustering technology identifies real-world entities (exchanges, institutions, long-term holders, miners) rather than raw addresses. Noisy blockchain data becomes actionable intelligence.
Full-stack derivatives. On-chain, futures, options, and spot from a single provider with unified methodology and consistent quality.
Expanding coverage. New chains, instruments, and products get added continuously. Your Snowflake environment reflects every update automatically.

Executive Summary

Executive Summary

G+D Ventures and Rabo Investments have co-led a €6.5 million seed round in Cense, the crypto compliance and evidence platform for financial institutions and a 2023 spinout of Glassnode. The round was joined by a group of angel investors and will support the continued European expansion of the Cense platform.
This is a notable moment for Glassnode. Cense is the first venture to be spun out of the company. The decision reflected a clear conviction: one of the largest unmet needs in digital asset markets is the operational gap between crypto-native activity and the traditional banking system. That problem required a dedicated company, led by the same founders and powered by the same on-chain analytics foundations that Glassnode has spent years developing.
“When we founded Glassnode, our mission was to make on-chain data understandable and useful for anyone serious about digital asset markets. Cense extends that mission into the regulated banking layer, applying the same analytical rigor to one of the most consequential workflows in finance. Spinning Cense out as an independent company was the right way to give that mission the focus and pace it deserves, and this funding round confirms that the market sees the opportunity as clearly as we do,” says Jan Happel, co-founder and CEO of Glassnode.
The funding comes at a structural inflection point for digital assets. Capital is increasingly moving between crypto and traditional finance, whether through long-held positions being realized, stablecoin liquidity moving across venues, or institutional allocators repositioning at scale. Banks are now being asked to engage with clients and transactions that their existing infrastructure was not designed to assess. The operational layer that connects on-chain activity to bank-grade compliance documentation has become one of the clearest unmet needs in the market.
The Cense platform addresses this gap. By collecting and analyzing wallet, exchange and transaction data, it automates crypto compliance due diligence and produces standardized, auditable documentation that banks can act on. Conventional AML systems were not built for digital assets, while pure crypto analytics platforms often fail to reflect the regulatory and decision-making realities of financial institutions. Cense bridges that gap by translating complex on-chain activity into structured, bank-usable evidence.
“What stands out most is the team behind Cense: the founders have already built two successful companies, including Glassnode, and are early pioneers in the space. They combine strong product expertise with proven entrepreneurial experience. The market opportunity is equally compelling, driven by accelerating institutional adoption of digital assets and an increasingly complex regulatory environment that demands precisely such solutions,” says Andreas Barthelmes, Principal at G+D Ventures.
“Banks need trusted infrastructure to manage digital asset exposure with the same confidence they apply to financial crime and compliance,” says Dennis Wohlfarth, CEO of Cense. “This investment validates Cense’s position as that infrastructure layer. G+D Ventures and Rabo Investments bring deep expertise, strong banking networks and operational experience, giving us a strong foundation for the continued expansion of Cense.”
“What I find compelling about Cense is that the team understands both the complexity of digital assets and the operational realities of financial institutions. That combination is rare, and it is exactly what is needed when building infrastructure for banks,” says Sander ten Hagen, Investor at Cense.
Pascal Deck, Investor at Rabo Investments, adds: “Cense addresses a critical blind spot in crypto compliance by combining on-chain and off-chain insights, enabling institutions to onboard clients with greater speed, confidence and regulatory clarity, positioning it as a key enabler for scaling into digital assets. As more investors incorporate crypto into their portfolios, solutions like Cense are essential to turn a traditionally complex onboarding process into a seamless and scalable experience.”
With the new funding, Cense will accelerate the technological development of its platform and expand its market presence across Europe.
