The platform now tracks over 250 million labeled wallet addresses and provides real-time intelligence for more than 170 institutional clients, including hedge funds and crypto exchanges.
Under Svanevik’s direction, Nansen launched Nansen Query and Nansen 2—advanced tools for custom blockchain data pipelines and multichain dashboards. In 2025, Nansen published a report on token flows linked to ETF speculation and Ethereum staking outflows, downloaded more than 22,000 times by portfolio managers and analysts.
