Nasdaq Expands Data Range on Quandl Platform

Nasdaq has expanded the scope of its crypto data platform Quandl to include fundamental crypto rating and price forecasting data. Sourced from crypto investment management fund and data provider, Blockchain Investments & Co., the Quandl platform will be supplemented with a range of crypto-asset data including descriptive, rating, correlation, forecasting and sentiment data. The move is designed to increase informed decision making and confidence in – what Nasdaq referred to as – an “upcoming asset class”, supporting crypto research, investment, and regulatory operations. The Quandl platform was acquired by Nasdaq in December 2018 to expand the exchange group’s technology and alternative data offerings. Nasdaq claims to have approximately 400,000 users on the Quandl platform, including institutional investors such as hedge funds, asset managers and investment banks.
