CRYPTO RESEARCH ANALYST

Evidence BeforeCertainty

I research crypto markets — on-chain data, price behavior, and risk — and write up what I find.

Research lenses

Jamal Nouri — Crypto Research Analyst

I try to keep three things separate: what the data shows, what I think it means, and what someone should do about it. Mixing those up is where bad research usually starts.

01

Evidence before certainty

I write down what the data shows before I decide what it means.

02

Multiple research lenses

On-chain data, fundamentals, price action, and risk rarely tell the same story on their own — I read them together.

03

Clear communication

A research note is only useful if someone who isn't a specialist can still follow it.

Some recent notes on crypto markets and the questions I was trying to answer.

Who Really Owns Bitcoin?

Bitcoin / On-Chain Analysis · August 16, 2026

Who Really Owns Bitcoin?

Every time Bitcoin dips, the same line spreads: "the whales are selling." But on-chain data tells a more complicated story, one where retail supply is quietly shifting toward institutions, miners carry less weight than before, and ETF cost basis has turned $84K-$85K into a level worth watching.

03 / Research Focus

What I investigate

Six areas I keep coming back to.

01

Bitcoin & on-chain research

Reading on-chain data as one part of a bigger picture on Bitcoin and digital assets, not as a signal on its own.

02

Market intelligence

Turning market noise, narratives, and trends into something you can actually act on.

03

Quantitative market analysis

Using numbers, not just opinions, to frame a market question and size up the risk.

04

Fundamental analysis

Looking past the pitch to what a project, sector, or narrative is actually worth.

05

Market structure

Understanding how price actually moves before drawing conclusions from it.

06

Portfolio & market risk

Weighing what could go wrong, not just what looks likely to go right.

05 / Professional Profile

A research practice built across disciplines

I work at the point where crypto research actually becomes useful — where data, on-chain signals, and risk thinking turn into something a team can act on.

In practice, that means I can take a market question, find the evidence, build a view around it, and write it up in a way an editor, a research team, or an investor can actually use.
