Anyone else finding it increasingly painful to get decent on-chain data access and a reliable broker with tight spreads for $BTC? Seems like every provider has one or the other, but not both without some ridiculous KYC hoops or withdrawal limits. You'd think with the market cap, these infrastructure issues would be sorted by now, but here we are.
Totally agree, it's a real struggle finding that sweet spot. I've been experimenting with a few different setups, often splitting where I get data and where I execute trades, but it just adds more friction. Have you tried any of the newer DEX aggregators for better on-chain liquidity, or are you mostly looking at CEXs?
Yeah, it's a constant trade-off. The brokers with good APIs often lack serious on-chain tools, and the data providers don't always have reliable execution partners. You end up cobbling together a solution or compromising on one aspect.
I'm still pretty new to the crypto space, but I've definitely noticed the KYC stuff being a bit much. Are there specific on-chain metrics you're looking for that are harder to get?
