}What it measures
Velocity is estimated transaction volume over the trailing year divided by current supply. It describes how actively the asset is circulating: a rising velocity means the same supply is changing hands more often.Assets and windows
This endpoint serves 3 asset classes. The available windows differ by class — a window that works for one asset can return400 for another.
| Asset class | What it covers | Assets | Windows |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | the native asset of Bitcoin, asset=btc | btc | block · hour · day |
| Native ETH | the native asset, asset=eth | eth | block · 10min · hour · day |
| ERC-20 | ERC-20 tokens | 198 assets | block · 10min · hour · day |
day. A request for a window that the asset’s class does not support returns 400 and lists the windows that asset does support.
Response fields
The time key depends on the window:datetime for day, 10min, and hour and blockheight plus datetime for block.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
velocity_supply_total | number | Estimated transaction volume over the trailing year divided by current total supply. |
Authorizations
For each API request, include the Authorization HTTP header with Bearer {access_token}.
Query Parameters
Asset to query, by its CryptoQuant alias (no chain suffix — usdt, not usdt_eth). 200 assets are available on this endpoint, across the asset classes btc, erc20, eth. Enumerate them with /v2/discovery/endpoints.
Chain the asset lives on. Optional for an asset that exists on exactly one chain, required when the same alias exists on several.
bitcoin, ethereum Aggregation window. Which windows are valid depends on the asset — see the endpoint page. Defaults to day.
block, 10min, hour, day Inclusive start time, YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS (UTC). If window=day, YYYYMMDD is also accepted.
Inclusive end time, YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS (UTC). If window=day, YYYYMMDD is also accepted.
Maximum rows returned (default 100, max 10000).
