Pair Metrics Overview

Coin Metrics calculates several metrics for asset pairs such as btc-usd and eth-usd. For example, the metric volume_reported_spot_usd_1d represents the daily spot volume in U.S. dollars for all markets in our coverage universe that contain the specific pair. Metrics available at the exchange-asset level is available through the /timeseries/pair-metrics API endpoint.
Pair Coverage
The pair coverage can be found by querying our /catalog/pairs or /catalog-all/pairs API endpoints. The pair coverage is defined as the combination (cartesian product) of all the top assets (approximately the top 300 assets by market capitalization).
