CryptoDataDownload

CryptoDataDownload is a United States-based data platform founded in 2017 that aggregates and distributes historical cryptocurrency market data. The platform identified a gap in accessible, research-grade crypto data and built a repository of OHLCV (open, high, low, close, volume) files organized by exchange, available for free download in CSV format. The service became a reference point for quantitative researchers, data scientists, and independent analysts working in cryptocurrency markets.

The platform’s core offering is its free historical data library covering spot market data from major exchanges. Alongside basic price history, CryptoDataDownload provides daily institutional-grade market risk analytics including Value at Risk (VaR), volatility calculations, EWMA projections, and GARCH methodology outputs. Orderbook data and executed transaction data are available for select trading pairs. A paid tier branded as Files+ offers zero-gap OHLCV files, a Backtest Vault, and enhanced data products for more demanding research workflows.

CryptoDataDownload is operated as a private company from the United States and remains active. Data is distributed primarily through direct CSV downloads rather than a formal REST API, making it accessible to users without programming expertise. The platform maintains a presence on Twitter and Telegram and is widely referenced in academic and hobbyist cryptocurrency research as an entry point for backtesting and exploratory data analysis.
