CryptoQuant is a crypto on-chain and market data analytics platform founded by Ki Young Ju that collects raw blockchain data, enriches it with exchange and entity labels, and delivers it as actionable metrics, charts, alerts and APIs. Often called 'the Bloomberg of crypto,' it serves professional traders, researchers and 200-plus institutional clients, and was the first on-chain data provider listed on CME Group's DataMine marketplace.
Ki Young Ju is the founder and CEO of CryptoQuant, a blockchain analytics firm that turns raw on-chain data into market intelligence used by traders, funds, and institutions. A South Korean engineer who started the company in 2018 after stints in cybersecurity and the ICON blockchain project, he built CryptoQuant into one of the most cited sources for Bitcoin exchange flows, miner activity, and whale tracking. He is widely followed on X for data-driven market commentary, and became a talking point across crypto media in 2025 when he publicly reversed his earlier 'bull cycle is over' call and declared that the traditional Bitcoin cycle theory no longer holds in an ETF- and institution-driven market.
