Using Alternative Data for Crypto Exchange Investing
Alternative data investing is well-established in equities. In crypto, it is still underused — creating an edge for those who know where to look.
What Is Alt-Data in Crypto Context
Alternative data is any data source beyond price, volume, and traditional financials. In crypto, this includes: on-chain wallet flows (Nansen), developer activity (GitHub commits), social sentiment, and — our focus — hiring data from exchange job boards.
Why Hiring Data Has an Edge
Hiring data is mandatory public disclosure with genuine information content. Unlike social sentiment (noisy, gameable) or on-chain data (requires interpretation, lag), hiring data directly reveals what management has committed budget to building. You cannot fake a job posting.
The Track Record
