How Kaiko data powers The Big Whale’s world-class research and intelligence platform 

Background

As crypto and traditional finance converge, the demand for actionable and reliable analysis has never been greater. In particular, institutional investors and financial professionals need to sift the overwhelming noise to extract reliable market signals. The Big Whale, a leading research and intelligence platform has stepped up to meet this need, providing effective, accurate, and insightful analysis through its interactive platform, Insider Pro.

The problem

To achieve their goal of offering the most powerful intelligence platform for the crypto sector, The Big Whale needed the data to underpin it. However, crypto markets are fragmented, spanning hundreds of centralized and decentralized exchanges, each with varying data quality, formats, and means of accessing the data.

This fragmentation makes the process of sourcing, normalizing, and storing the data very complex and labour intensive. To overcome this, The Big Whale sought a market-leading data provider that could manage the data sourcing, leaving its team to focus on delivering the analysis that matters to users.

The chosen solution would be capable of powering several critical operational processes at The Big Whale:

Deep dive research reports – Publishing comprehensive institutional-grade reports on specific topics like the convergence of DeFi and CeFi.

Live news and analysis – Monitoring all crypto markets concurrently to deliver market news as it happens.

Interactive dashboard – Creating data-driven visualizations that allow independent trend analysis on blockchain infrastructure, tokenization, Bitcoin ETFs, and crypto market activity.
