On-Chain Metrics Make a Modern Crypto Map

In this week’s Weiss Crypto Sunday Special, we’re doing a deep dive into the chain ... the blockchain, that is. The blockchain is the technology that makes crypto possible, recording each and every transaction. And because the blockchain is transparent, it opens a whole new field of analysis.

Weiss crypto analyst and blockchain expert Marija Matic defines “on-chain metrics” as the information we can extract from that transparency, everything from the inflows and outflows of exchanges — and even specific cryptos — to the usage of decentralized applications (dApps).

Investors can find [on-chain metrics] helpful if, for example, you have invested in some token. You would be interested to know if the usage the number of the transactions is growing or falling. If you have invested in, for example, a governance token of some dApp, you would be interested to know how it’s performing. You would be interested to know, is the number of active wallet users growing?

The most important thing for me is to track the dApps and how they are performing since they — and their governance tokens — are now the big thing.

Traditional markets are imbalanced, favoring institutional investors over retail. On-chain metrics and public blockchains help level the playing field.

In this informative video, Marija explains:

•  How new crypto investors can access on-chain metrics.

•  How privacy cryptos factor in.

•  What our Weiss crypto analysts are seeing on-chain right now.

And more!

On-chain metrics are a useful navigation tool in this traditionally volatile market. So, I highly recommend watching the full video now.

Best wishes,
