CryptoQuant expands API with 10 new Bitcoin signal endpoints
CryptoQuant has rolled out 10 new API endpoints dedicated to tracking Bitcoin demand signals, giving professional traders and institutions a direct data pipeline into one of the most closely watched metrics in crypto right now.
What the new endpoints actually do
CryptoQuant’s API already covers a broad set of on-chain metrics: exchange flows, miner activity, network indicators, and similar data points that quant traders and institutional desks rely on for their models. The 10 new endpoints specifically target demand-side dynamics, letting users programmatically track changes in Bitcoin buying pressure across both spot and derivatives markets.
Instead of manually checking dashboards, developers can now pull real-time demand data directly into their trading algorithms, risk models, or portfolio management systems. The data comes in standard formats like JSON or CSV, accessible through CryptoQuant’s Professional or Premium API plans.
The demand picture is ugly
Total Bitcoin demand, encompassing both spot markets and perpetual futures, has plummeted to -652K BTC in weekly contractions. That’s the steepest decline since January 2022, a period that preceded one of crypto’s most brutal bear markets.
The 30-day apparent demand figure tells a similar story, registering at -147K BTC.
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has been vocal about what he sees as a dangerous disconnect in 2026’s market structure. Bitcoin’s price has been buoyed by futures-driven rallies, but the underlying spot demand and apparent demand metrics show persistent weakness.
The supply side adds another layer of concern. Long-term holders have been distributing into this weak demand environment, creating conditions for sharp corrections when buyers are scarce.
Why this matters for investors
The -652K BTC weekly contraction represents a market where the aggregate appetite for Bitcoin is shrinking at a pace not seen in over four years.
ETF outflows compound the picture. The spot Bitcoin ETFs have become another source of selling pressure during periods of market stress, combining with weak spot demand and aggressive long-term holder distribution to create a notable supply-demand imbalance.
The January 2022 comparison is instructive: demand contractions of this magnitude preceded a roughly 12-month slide in Bitcoin’s price last time around. Bulls need to show that spot demand is recovering, not just that futures open interest is climbing.

After the Federal Reserve released hawkish signals, Goldman Sachs changed its stance: expects another 25 basis point hike in October
Goldman Sachs’ core rationale for including a rate hike in October as its baseline scenario is that since the Federal Reserve has characterized this hike as a move to "more promptly return" to the 2% target, following up in consecutive meetings is more natural than skipping meetings between hikes. However, Goldman Sachs believes that additional rate hikes beyond two are not part of the baseline scenario, mainly because its own inflation forecasts are lower than the median projections of Federal Reserve members.
