Emma Thornton

Data & On-Chain Analyst

Emma Thornton is TheCryptoWorld's data and on-chain analyst, specializing in blockchain analytics, whale activity tracking, exchange flow analysis, and Bitcoin network metrics. She developed her analytical framework over three years working extensively with Glassnode data before joining TheCryptoWorld, where she produces weekly on-chain summaries and real-time data commentary. Emma's work translates raw blockchain data into actionable market insights — tracking large wallet movements, miner selling behavior, stablecoin minting activity, and derivatives funding rates. Her on-chain analysis of the 2024 Bitcoin ETF launch period, showing the supply shock dynamics as long-term holders absorbed institutional inflows, was widely shared across financial media. Prior to journalism, Emma worked as a data scientist at a fintech startup building retail analytics tools. She holds programming skills in Python and SQL, allowing her to process raw chain data rather than relying solely on aggregator dashboards. Emma is based in Amsterdam.
