Profile Data Suggestion: Yahoo Finance's Crypto Profile Greater Transparency and User Engagement
Hi Yahoo Finance Team,
This is Kit from RootData, a leading crypto asset data platform with over 16,000 projects, 10,000 investors, 13,000 people, and 8,800 financing rounds in our database, I wanted to suggest a potential partnership opportunity to improve Yahoo Finance's cryptocurrency offerings. Currently, Yahoo Finance provides excellent baseline data like prices, market caps, volumes, charts, and news for major assets like Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Ethereum (ETH-USD). However, there's an opportunity to add deeper, structured insights that could shorten users' decision-making paths and boost transaction willingness—similar to how platforms like Gate.io, Coinglass, OKX Web3 Wallet, and TokenPocket have successfully integrated our data.
Key Benefits of Integrating RootData API:
Project Details and Transparency: Add comprehensive info on team backgrounds, investor histories, fundraising records (including dates, amounts, valuations), and tags (230+ industry categories) to coin profile pages. This would go beyond basic summaries and whitepapers, helping users quickly understand project positioning and credibility.
Token Vesting and Unlocking Plans: Include future unlocking schedules for 300+ top market cap tokens, providing valuable investment references that align with industry trends toward greater information transparency.
X (Twitter) Analysis and Discovery: Track follow dynamics of top accounts and discover emerging projects via multi-dimensional signals, including the latest trends from KOLs and entrepreneurs. This could power a new "Trending Projects" or "Top 100 Projects" section, updated hourly based on user behavior and attention.
Synchronous Updates: Real-time notifications for changes in project intros, logos, investors, etc., ensuring data timeliness.
We've seen strong results with our partners:
- TokenPocket enriches currency details with our team and investor data.
- OKX Web3 Wallet uses our financing and X popular project data to guide on-chain interactions on their discovery page.
- Coinglass integrates for transparency info like team and investor history, improving trader confidence.
- Gate.io displays our team and investor details on currency introduction pages.
By integrating RootData's API, Yahoo Finance could effectively enhance data integrity, credibility, and user experience—potentially increasing engagement on crypto pages, which currently lack these advanced features.
As a starting point for partnership, we'd be happy to offer free access to our API for a trial period, including a demo to showcase seamless integration. This could lead to a mutually beneficial collaboration, such as co-branded features or data exchange. Please reach out to kit@catchervc.com or Telegram @fifiibam to discuss further.
Thank you for considering this suggestion
Best,
Kit
