DESK vs Glassnode
Glassnode is an on-chain analytics platform: more than 1,700 metrics on blockchain activity, many years of history and data delivery for institutions. DESK’s Crypto Terminal is broader and shallower — futures positioning, sentiment, cycles and the Bitcoin network — next to the world economy, company pages and news. Here is how the two compare.

Where Glassnode is stronger
- Far deeper on-chain data: hundreds of metrics across many assets and years.
- Fine resolution and long history for research and backtests.
- An API and data delivery for institutions.
Where DESK is different
- Crypto sits next to the world economy: rates, inflation and liquidity on the same desk as the cycle.
- Company pages, DESK Radar, DESK Impact, a journal and a community are in the same price.
- Every panel names its source — CFTC, CoinLore, alternative.me and mempool.space.
- If on-chain analysis is your work, Glassnode is built for that.
