The era of the data-backed trader

If the last few years in crypto have taught us anything, it's that "feeling" the market is a dangerous way to lose money.

 

In early 2026, the era of sentiment-driven vibes has officially given way to structural, data-backed performance. Bot-driven trading volumes have climbed 97% year-over-year while stablecoin liquidity has reached $1 trillion, signaling a market that has finally traded sentiment for intelligence.

 

We think your tools should follow suit.

 

Today, we're rolling out an upgrade to our API and interface, focusing this update on sharpening the signal-to-noise ratio.

 

Better data, fewer guesses

Most traders know the frustration of trading against a "price" without knowing what's actually moving it. We're fixing that.

 

Our new Index Price Constituents query pulls back the curtain, letting you verify the exact weights and assets driving market prices.

 

These insights, paired with our new Global Long/Short Account Ratio and Total Open Interest endpoints, allow you to move beyond simply watching the tape to actually reading the room.

 

Risk management that actually works

Price swings are where the profit is, but they shouldn't be a threat to your entire portfolio.

 

We've integrated Auto-Add Isolated Margin and real-time Insurance Fund queries to act as an automated safety net.

 

We're also introducing Modify Order capabilities. Now, you can adjust active orders in real-time without the friction, because in 2026, a few milliseconds is the difference between a filled order and a missed opportunity.

 

The reality of record-keeping

Most traders prioritize market action over accounting. But as the industry moves toward institutional standards, the paperwork follows.

 

We designed the Historical Order Download tool to handle the heavy lifting by ensuring your data is compatible with tax platforms and audit software.

 

The bottom line

Centralized exchanges still handle approximately 75% of global volume, representing roughly $20 trillion annually. In such a high-stakes environment, capable and reliable infrastructure is a baseline requirement.

Let's get to work.
