Cross-asset context

Cross-asset rotation is live. BTC ↔ ETH ↔ USDT ↔ tokenized gold flows are detected automatically across multi-window timescales (1h, 24h, 7d) and surfaced in our daily brief. When BTC whales rotate into gold or USDT, you'll see it in the brief the same day.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What counts as a BTC whale transaction?

Any on-chain transfer ≥100 BTC. Internal sweeps (self-sends, change-output back to the same wallet) are filtered out — we surface real cross-address flows. Mega-tier alerts fire at ≥1,000 BTC.

How are entities labelled?

Three tiers. Tier 1 = OFAC SDN list (highest authority, never overridden). Tier 2 = hot/cold wallet heuristics from exchange-cluster propagation. Tier 3 = manual curation + community-traced clusters. Confidence scores are exposed in the REST API.

How do I get the raw data?

REST API at /v1/recent, /v1/address/<addr>, /v1/tx/<txid>. Bearer authentication required. MCP server exposes the same data to Claude / Cursor / ChatGPT via 72 tools. Free tier: 50 lookups / day.

When does the page update?

Every hour at the top of the hour. Live whale-feed lags ~30 seconds behind the chain (block-confirmation + indexer batching). For real-time alerts subscribe to Telegram or Bluesky.
