The Power of DeFi Market Data
summary
Kaiko positions itself as an institutional on‑chain market data provider connected to 150+ venues and claims DeFi trading represents 30–40% market share of crypto (peaking near 60 vs Coinbase on some pairs). The company offers liquidity pool snapshot products that would have flagged anomalies on May 8 before the Terra/UST collapse, showing an outsized withdrawal of 21 million UST versus a typical ~5 million, and recommends API alerts and embedded‑supervision use cases while noting on‑chain transparency but hard extraction.
