  • Access to Nansen’s data will help market makers, hedge fund managers, and asset managers train their algorithms to anticipate market movements, generate reports, metrics, and conduct due diligence within their firms’ technology systems, the release said.
  • Nansen aims to use Google Cloud to connect with layer-1 protocols to provide investors with a comprehensive view of their portfolios across different wallets, the firm said.
