The Problem with Crypto Research
Most crypto allocation decisions are made on incomplete information. Startup treasury managers toggle between CoinGecko tabs, Twitter threads, and Telegram groups trying to piece together whether an asset is worth holding. Traders scroll through influencer opinions dressed up as analysis. The data exists, but it is scattered across dozens of platforms, inconsistent in quality, and rarely presented in a way that supports structured decision-making.
This is the gap Obtain was built to close. Obtain is UNOCU's crypto research product — a single interface that gives you institutional-quality data on 200+ digital assets, from macro market context down to on-chain holder distribution. No noise. No hype. Just the information you need to make rational allocation decisions.
Whether you are managing a startup treasury, actively trading, or running a crypto-native business, Obtain replaces the patchwork of free tools and social media feeds with a structured research terminal designed for professionals.
Who Obtain Is Built For
Obtain serves anyone who needs to move beyond guesswork when evaluating crypto assets. Three groups benefit most:
•Startup treasury managers evaluating whether to allocate company reserves into crypto, or rebalancing existing positions across multiple assets. These decisions carry real fiduciary weight and demand structured analysis, not gut instinct.
•Active traders who want to research assets thoroughly before entering positions. Obtain provides the multi-timeframe performance data, risk metrics, and on-chain signals that inform better entry and exit decisions.
•Crypto-native businesses and teams that need to stay current across the market — tracking sentiment shifts, monitoring staking yields, and benchmarking their holdings against broader market performance.
If you have ever made an allocation decision based on a chart screenshot in a group chat, Obtain is the upgrade.
Market Intelligence at a Glance
When you open Obtain, the first thing you see is the Market Intelligence Bar — a top-level summary strip that gives you macro context before you look at any individual asset. It displays five key data points:
•Total crypto market cap — the aggregate value of all tracked crypto assets
•24-hour trading volume — a measure of current market activity and liquidity
•BTC dominance percentage — how much of the total market cap Bitcoin represents, a proxy for risk appetite
•Fear & Greed Index score — a composite sentiment indicator ranging from extreme fear to extreme greed
•Trending asset of the day — the asset generating the most market attention in the current session
This bar is your first filter. If the market is in extreme fear and volume is spiking, that context shapes how you interpret individual asset data. If BTC dominance is falling, altcoin allocations may warrant closer attention. The intelligence bar ensures you never evaluate an asset in a vacuum.
The Asset Table: 200+ Assets, One Scannable View
Below the intelligence bar sits the core of Obtain: a comprehensive asset table listing over 200 crypto assets with real-time pricing data. This is not a simple price list. Each row is packed with context designed to help you quickly identify opportunities and risks.
Every asset row includes:
•Real-time price updated continuously
•7-day sparkline chart — a compact visual showing recent price trajectory at a glance
•Performance heatmap cells for 1-month, 3-month, and 1-year timeframes, colour-coded from green (positive) through to red (negative) so you can scan relative performance across the table instantly
•Average cost column — where you hold a position, Obtain shows your cost basis so you can see unrealised gains or losses in context
•Buy/Hold/Sell ratings for each asset, based on a combination of technical, fundamental, and sentiment factors
•Market cap, dominance, and liquidity data to help you assess asset size and tradeability
The heatmap design is deliberate. Rather than forcing you to click into each asset individually, the colour-coding lets you scan 200+ assets in seconds and spot which ones are outperforming or underperforming across multiple timeframes. Combined with the Buy/Hold/Sell ratings, you can quickly build a shortlist of assets worth deeper investigation.
Deep-Dive Asset Pages: The Full Research Terminal
When you click into any individual asset — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, or any of the 200+ listed — you enter a full research terminal. This is where Obtain moves from market scanning to deep analysis. Each asset page is organised into seven sections.
1. Performance Matrix
Multi-timeframe percentage returns across daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual periods. Relative strength comparisons against key benchmarks including ETH, SOL, the S&P 500, Gold, and NASDAQ. A volatility profile covering Sharpe ratio, maximum drawdown, and beta. Plus a liquidity grade that tells you how easily the asset can be traded at scale.
2. Price Chart
An interactive price chart with denomination toggles so you can view performance in USD, relative to BTC, or relative to ETH. Volume overlay shows trading activity alongside price action, and simple moving average (SMA) toggles for 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day periods let you identify trend structure without leaving the page.
3. UNOCU Research
This is original analysis from the UNOCU team: a thesis on the asset, key catalysts that could drive price movement, identified risk factors, and a 12-month price target with upside and downside scenarios. Each target includes a risk/reward ratio so you can assess whether the potential return justifies the exposure.
4. Staking and Yield Context
For assets that support staking, this section shows the native staking APY, top yield providers across protocols, and a visual yield comparison so you can evaluate where to stake for optimal returns. This data ties directly into UNOCU's Compound and Nurture products for users who want to act on the research.
5. On-Chain Metrics
Supply dynamics with distribution bars showing circulating versus total supply. Network activity metrics including active addresses, transaction counts, fee revenue, and hash rate where applicable. Holder distribution broken down into whale, shark, dolphin, fish, and shrimp categories — giving you visibility into whether accumulation or distribution is happening at each tier.
6. Market Structure
An ETF tracker showing assets under management and 7-day fund flows for relevant crypto ETFs. Corporate treasury holdings data showing which companies hold the asset, how much they hold, the current value, and their average cost basis. This section contextualises institutional demand beyond retail trading activity.
7. Community Sentiment
A bullish/bearish sentiment bar derived from social and market data, social mentions trend over time, and developer activity metrics that indicate the health and momentum of the project's codebase. Sentiment is a lagging indicator on its own, but combined with on-chain data and price action, it adds a useful dimension to your analysis.
All data is powered by CoinMarketCap and Santiment APIs, providing institutional-grade data feeds rather than aggregated estimates.
How to Use Obtain Effectively
Having access to data is only valuable if you know what to do with it. Here are five principles for getting the most out of Obtain:
1.Research before you allocate. Use the deep-dive pages to understand what you are buying before you buy it. Read the thesis, review the risk factors, and check whether the risk/reward ratio aligns with your strategy.
2.Benchmark against multiple assets. The Performance Matrix lets you compare any asset against ETH, SOL, the S&P 500, Gold, and NASDAQ. An asset that looks strong in isolation may look average when measured against the right benchmark.
3.Track on-chain metrics for early signals. Whale accumulation, rising active addresses, and increasing transaction fees can signal demand shifts before they show up in price. The on-chain section gives you this visibility.
4.Use risk-adjusted returns, not raw price. The Sharpe ratio and max drawdown figures in the Performance Matrix tell you how much risk you are taking for each unit of return. A 50% gain with a 40% drawdown is a very different proposition from a 50% gain with a 10% drawdown.
5.Combine sentiment with fundamentals. Community sentiment can confirm or challenge your thesis. If on-chain metrics show whale accumulation but sentiment is extremely bearish, that divergence is worth investigating. Neither data point should be used in isolation.
How Obtain Fits the UNOCU Ecosystem
Obtain does not exist in isolation. It is part of a connected suite of products designed to take you from research through to portfolio management. When you research an asset in Obtain, you can see how it relates to your existing holdings.
If you already track your crypto treasury through Umbrella, Obtain shows your cost basis and unrealised performance directly in the asset table. If you are staking assets through Compound or Nurture, the staking and yield section in Obtain reflects your current positions and yield rates. And if you are executing trades through Utilize, research flows naturally into action.
This integration means your research is always grounded in your actual portfolio context. You are not evaluating assets abstractly — you are evaluating them in relation to what you already hold, what you are already earning, and what your treasury strategy requires.
