Amberdata has joined forces with Databricks to make its cryptocurrency and blockchain data more accessible, aiming to boost institutional engagement with digital assets.
In a significant move to enhance access to digital asset data and analytics, Amberdata has teamed up with Databricks to make its vast troves of information on cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and decentralized finance (DeFi) available on the Databricks Marketplace. This partnership marks a pivotal step in making complex datasets more accessible to institutional players, fostering a deeper understanding and adoption of digital assets within financial system infrastructures.
Amberdata, known as a leader in providing robust data solutions to the financial sector, caters to banks, hedge funds, and investment firms aiming to make informed decisions in the fast-paced world of digital finance. The provision of such data through Databricks, a platform renowned for its advanced data analytics and AI capabilities, creates a synergy that simplifies data management and expedites the delivery of actionable insights.
The Databricks Marketplace operates on the Delta Sharing standard—an open protocol that enables secure and real-time data sharing across various platforms. This approach democratizes data accessibility without the need for costly and complex data transfer and transformation processes traditionally associated with data analytics setups.
Shawn Douglass, CEO of Amberdata, emphasized the importance of the integration, noting that it is designed to meet the demands of institutional customers who seek to streamline their operations and rapidly translate data into viable insights. This move is especially crucial in the cryptoeconomy, where market conditions evolve rapidly and the timeliness of information is critical for maintaining competitive advantage.
Adding to this, Jay Bhankharia, Senior Director of Data Partnerships at Databricks, highlighted the benefits that seamless access to Amberdata’s information will bring to users of the Databricks platform. By integrating cutting-edge data on digital assets, Amberdata not only enriches the marketplace’s offerings but also propels innovation and informed decision-making across the financial technology landscape.
The datasets provided by Amberdata cover a wide array of digital financial metrics, including information on cryptocurrency spot and derivatives markets, blockchain analytics, tokenized assets, and DeFi dynamics. Access to sample data is available at no cost on the Databricks Marketplace, providing a valuable resource for organizations to test and evaluate the data’s efficacy before opting for full historical dataset access.
This integration is expected to have substantial implications for how financial institutions engage with digital assets. By lowering barriers to entry and simplifying the technical challenges associated with digital asset data acquisition and analysis, both Amberdata and Databricks are paving the way for broader institutional acceptance and deeper integration of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies into mainstream financial practices.
