Historical Data

Free crypto data, three things to know.

01.  What's covered

Free historical data

Data is organized by exchange, symbol, and timeframe. We carry futures and spot OHLCV, funding data, transaction / trade-print histories, and derivatives (options puts & calls). Pick a specific exchange below, or browse the full asset-data universe that follows.

Disclaimer Information

Data is offered for free under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Please view our FULL DISCLAIMER and Data Integrity statement.

02.  Friction-free

No registration required

Download CSV files without registering. (Some granularities may require a free account.) Many sites charge large sums for the same historical data. We want to empower individuals to do their own research and analysis — we will never ask you to pay for raw, historical data.

Standard CSV Format

All free downloads ship as standardized, easy-to-use CSV. Need a different format? For example, CSV → JSON conversions, we recommend ConvertCSV.com — or just paste the URL into pandas.read_csv() in Python.

03.  Use the data

Data & coding applications

We publish extensive Plus+ content and coding examples in both Python and R demonstrating data capture, data analysis, and model development. Common patterns from the catalog — every link opens a full walkthrough with code:

Plus+ upgrade · The Backtest Vault

Stop cleaning CSVs. Start backtesting.

One-click downloads of pre-formatted, gapless, validation-complete backtesting datasets ready to drop directly into the major retail platforms. You came for clean data — this is the cleanest path.

Your Sunday today

Without the Vault, every project starts the same way.

  1. Download raw OHLCV CSV from each exchange
  2. Hunt for missing bars, outages, and maintenance gaps
  3. Reformat columns to match your backtester's expected schema
  4. Convert timestamps (UTC vs local, ms vs seconds, ISO vs Unix)
  5. Map ticker conventions to your platform's symbology
  6. Re-validate every fix; pray it's right
  7. Then backtest the actual strategy

Hours, sometimes days, before a single hypothesis runs.

With the Backtest Vault

The Vault drops it directly into your platform.

  1. Pick the cryptocurrency & platform from the catalog
  2. Click download — file arrives pre-formatted
  3. Drop it into your backtester & run the strategy

Minutes. You're testing hypotheses, not fixing data.

What we do differently

We compete on depth, not breadth.

Other crypto-data providers race on raw exchange counts and pair totals. We win in the specialized layer above the OHLCV tape — the things most APIs leave to the analyst.

01.  ML Feature Store

The first for crypto

26+ model-ready signal endpoints — regime tags, momentum cohorts, microstructure features, funding-curve shape, on-chain stress. Productized for the first time at this price point. Used by quant funds; ours since 2026.

02.  Options Analytics

Greeks, IV surfaces

Full options chains with Δ Γ ν Θ, mark IV, bid/ask IV, plus higher-order Greeks (charm, vanna), term structure, volatility cones, IV-vs-RV spreads, and pin-candidate strikes. Layers most retail APIs omit entirely.

03.  Bespoke Aggregations

Data others skip

CFTC Commitment of Traders, US Treasury par yields, blockchain hashrate & difficulty, cross-venue funding curves, smart-contract creation tracking. The macro and on-chain context that quant models actually need.

04.  Quality Cadence

Validated continuously

Continuous gap analysis, source reconciliation at ingest, duplicate detection, outlier flagging, cross-source consistency. Row-level provenance flags so your model knows what's raw vs filled.

Free historical OHLCV remains free. Subscriber tiers unlock the specialized layer above — Plus+ for the web tools or CDD API for the programmatic surface.
