Professional-grade market positioning analysis for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin futures across CME and major exchanges. Our sophisticated tracking system monitors weekly changes in dealer positions, asset manager flows, and leveraged money positions to provide institutional-level market intelligence.
Why this matters: Large institutional players often move markets before retail investors catch on. By tracking when dealers (market makers) increase hedging positions, when asset managers rotate into crypto, or when leveraged funds build massive long/short positions, you gain critical insights into potential price movements before they happen. This isn't just data—it's actionable market intelligence used by professional traders and funds.
CryptoDataDownload first saw a need for cryptocurrency data in an aggregated place for research in late 2017 and sought to fulfill it. At that time, many popular exchanges today did not exist yet!

Not only did we quickly become the preferred destination for FREE historical cryptocurrency data, we are the best place to learn, track and analyze cryptocurrency markets. We also create analytical tools that make tracking market positioning and hypothetical analysis easy.

Get answers to common questions about our cryptocurrency data services, tools, and platform features.
We provide research-grade data that goes beyond basic OHLCV. Our platform includes enhanced datasets like tick-level data,
on-chain blockchain data statistics for Bitcoin and Ethereum,
CFTC commitment of traders data for crypto futures open interest positioning of the big players, enhanced volatility files with
movement predictions, volume statistical summaries, technical indicators (including candlesticks!) that are pre-calculated across 70+ indicators,
US treasury yield data, and sophisticated risk analytics including VaR calculations. Plus, we offer unique AI-powered tools for strategy backtesting without
requiring programming skills.
We provide data services that the other cryptocurrency providers don't!
Our AI-powered backtesting tool lets you describe your trading strategy in plain English! Simply explain your buy and sell conditions (e.g., "Buy when RSI drops below 30, sell when it rises above 70"), and our system converts this into executable code that tests against over a decade of Bitcoin historical data. No programming required! Try our strategy tool here.
CFTC Commitment of Traders (COT) data shows the positioning of large institutional players in cryptocurrency futures markets. This includes dealers (market makers), asset managers (hedge funds), and leveraged funds. By tracking when these "smart money" players increase or decrease their positions, you can gain insights into potential market movements before they happen. We track this data for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other major crypto futures contracts.

Data is updated generally on an end of day basis. This gives us the ability to review, sanitize, and identify any gaps due to either upstream providers or an error in the staging process. Once this process is complete, we enhance the data with additional informational overlays (technical indicators, metrics, summaries). CFTC COT reports updates every Friday after market close for the previous Tuesday, so there is a slight lag - but that is how the government provides it. API users get access to the data as soon as it is loaded to our database backend.
