The pain
The gap
Build angle
Strengths
- Clear, specific pain point in growing crypto analyst community
- High-frequency use case (daily/hourly data needs)
- Potential for recurring SaaS revenue model
- Crypto market has high financial incentives for efficiency gains
- Low switching costs if integrated deeply into workflows
Risks
- Crypto exchange APIs are already fairly accessible, unclear why analysts haven't built this themselves
- Regulatory uncertainty around crypto data aggregation and redistribution
- Highly competitive space (Bloomberg terminals, TradingView, native exchange tools already exist)
- Market size may be smaller than assumed, need to validate actual willingness to pay
- Technical execution requires managing multiple unstable/changing exchange APIs
- Potential API rate-limiting and cost issues at scale
