About
This data product offers granular historical market information for Bitcoin (₿), the seminal decentralised digital currency invented in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. The currency operates outside of central banking structures via a peer-to-peer network and transactions are verified using cryptography on a public distributed ledger known as a blockchain. This collection is vital for financial analysis, back-testing trading strategies, and understanding the evolving nature of the cryptocurrency market. It includes multiple levels of temporal aggregation, focusing on market activities observed on the Binance exchange platform.
