Nansen is a blockchain analytics and crypto intelligence platform that enriches raw on-chain data with hundreds of millions of labeled wallet addresses, letting investors, traders, and institutions follow 'smart money' across dozens of chains. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Singapore, the company has expanded from analytics dashboards into an agentic AI product that pairs conversational research with in-app trade execution on chains such as Solana and Base.
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.
