Why we built this

TrendingCrypto exists to answer a simple question: what is institutional money really doing right now? Not what people say online, not what headlines claim—the actual positioning that moves the market.

Instead of chasing noise, we watch flows, leverage, and positioning, then present it in a way that feels clear and practical.

What you get

The platform tracks five pillars that define market behavior: funding rates, stablecoin flows, open interest, trading volume, and long/short ratios. Together they form the Smart Money Score—a simple number from 0 to 100 that reflects how professional traders are leaning. A rising score suggests growing confidence and accumulation; a falling score suggests risk reduction and distribution. It's context you can act on, not a promise, not a signal.

How it works

We ingest live data from major exchanges and on-chain sources, then normalize it into a single framework that updates every few minutes. Funding carries the most weight (35%), then stablecoin flows (30%), then open interest (15%), with volume (10%) and long/short positioning (10%) rounding things out. Every input is transparent, timestamped, and easy to verify.

Want the details? Start with the deep dives: funding rates, stablecoin flows, open interest, and long/short ratio. Or explore how institutions position themselves in institutional positioning.

What we are, and what we're not

We show the data as it is, we explain what it means, and we keep it free: no ads, no accounts, no paywall. We don't give buy or sell calls, we don't run influencer polls, and we don't wrap numbers in drama. The goal is simple: give you the same lens professionals use, so you can make decisions with a clear head.

Why this matters

Markets move when real capital moves. Changes in funding, liquidity, and leverage often show up before price trends do. When you can see those shifts in plain view, you stop guessing, you stop reacting to noise—you start reading the market the way desks do.
