# Institution Metrics

Coin Metrics collects various data from institutions and we serve this data in the form of institution metrics from our [`/timeseries/institution-metrics`](https://docs.coinmetrics.io/api/v4#operation/getTimeseriesInstitutionMetrics) API endpoint.

## Institution Coverage

The institution coverage can be found by querying our [`/catalog/institutions`](https://docs.coinmetrics.io/api/v4#operation/getCatalogInstitutions) or [`/catalog-all/institutions`](https://docs.coinmetrics.io/api/v4#operation/getCatalogAllInstitutions) API endpoints. The institutions are also listed below. Grayscale Investments is currently the only institution in our coverage universe.
