Binance Research
The digital nature of cryptocurrencies, coupled with the transparency and openness of the blockchain, has left a huge number of “digital footprints” in the network in the form of data that can (and sometimes should) be analyzed. As part of a recent study, Binance specialists have prepared
extensive materialdedicated to modern services and tools that can help turn data to the benefit of the investor.
