Why AltFINS Stands Out: A Crypto Analytics Platform That Actually Gets It

If you've ever tried to make sense of crypto markets, you know the struggle. There are thousands of coins, dozens of exchanges, and somehow you're supposed to figure out what to buy, when to buy it, and whether your portfolio is doing well. Most platforms either dump raw data on you or focus purely on executing trades without helping you understand why you should make them.

That's the gap AltFINS was built to fill.

The Story Behind the Platform

Richard Fetyko spent 14 years on Wall Street analyzing internet technology and media companies for investment banks like Janney Montgomery Scott. He was good at it too—ranking among the top analysts in StarMine Analyst Awards and The Wall Street Journal's Best on the Street. But when he moved back to Slovakia and got into crypto, he hit a wall.

The tools just weren't there. No proper screeners, no portfolio tracking across exchanges, no way to set up alerts that actually made sense. So he built AltFINS—basically taking everything that works in traditional finance and adapting it for digital assets.

The European Commission noticed. In 2020, AltFINS won the Seal of Excellence and received a grant from the European Innovation Council for bringing transparency to an industry that desperately needed it.

What Makes This Different

Most crypto platforms are like giving someone a hammer and expecting them to build a house. AltFINS covers the complete workflow: research before you invest, execution when you're ready, and monitoring after you've made your move.

Here's what you actually get when you sign up:

Pattern Recognition That Works
The platform uses AI to identify 16 common chart patterns and makes predictions based on them. No more squinting at charts trying to figure out if that's a head-and-shoulders or just random noise.

Deep Market Screening
We're talking analysis of over 2,800 coins and 6,000 trading pairs using 120 technical indicators. You can filter by trend, momentum, volume, support and resistance—basically ask "show me coins that are doing X" and get actual answers.

Pre-Built Market Views
Want to see what's in an uptrend right now? What's building momentum? What just broke out of a range? These views are already set up. You just click and look.

The Market Context Nobody Talks About

Yes, crypto took a beating. Market cap dropped from $3 trillion at the end of 2021 to $1 trillion by mid-2022. But here's what the panic obscures: this is exactly when serious projects separate themselves from the noise.

The team at AltFINS sees this as a cleaning process. Projects with no real foundation get washed out. What's left are the ones actually building something.

The Long View Matters
When you look at Bitcoin's price history on a logarithmic scale—which is how you should view any network technology—the recent volatility looks pretty tame. Early Bitcoin holders saw massive percentage swings in 2011, 2013-2014, and 2018-2019. Even someone who bought at the absolute peak in 2011, 2014, or 2017 would still be in the green today.

Short-term traders sweat every dip. Long-term investors zoom out and see the bigger pattern. The key is knowing which one you are.

The Money's Still Flowing

Despite the doom and gloom, venture capital investment in blockchain hit $32.1 billion in 2021—up 480% year-over-year. Even with the 2022 pullback, the first half still saw $14.2 billion in investment, way higher than any year before 2021.

The biggest deals? $550 million to Fireblocks for digital asset infrastructure, $450 million to ConsenSys for Ethereum development, $400 million to FTX. This summer, crypto analytics platform Messari raised $35 million at a $300 million valuation—which tells you something about the market potential for tools that help people navigate this space.

Even central banks are paying attention. They're developing regulations, researching national digital currencies (CBDCs), and in Sweden's case, actually piloting an e-Krona token. When traditional finance starts adopting the technology, that's not a bubble—that's infrastructure.

Where AltFINS Beats the Competition

Take TradingView, the biggest competitor. It's great for charting, but that's where it stops. AltFINS goes deeper on the pre-trade analysis that actually matters.

You get:

• Easier navigation of analysis results with predefined filters

• Automatic chart pattern detection

• Portfolio filtering across exchanges

• Detailed coin descriptions, news, and events

• Fundamental data beyond just price

• Original research and market blogs

The platform doesn't just show you what is happening. It helps you understand why it matters and what to do about it.

When you're managing positions across multiple exchanges and trying to track which indicators actually signal opportunities, 👉 check out comprehensive portfolio tracking that aggregates your holdings and spots patterns across all your positions in one unified view.

Features That Actually Help

Let me give you some concrete examples:

Side Panel Intelligence
Click any cryptocurrency and a side panel pops up with everything relevant: project description, price chart with default indicators, trading volume, market news. No clicking through five different pages.

Pattern Detection That Predicts
The platform automatically identifies formations like head-and-shoulders, double tops, triangles, flags, rectangles—patterns that historically signal what comes next. Technical analysis without the tedious work.

Smart Filtering
You can easily filter between coins in your portfolio and coins you're watching. Or set up custom screeners combining technical indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD) with variables like market cap and volume.

Complete Project Profiles
Each crypto asset gets a full profile: project description, history, technology stack, team expertise, future plans. It functions like an information portal where market news and important events are actually organized.

Fundamental Metrics
The platform keeps adding data points that matter—revenue figures, P/S ratios, Total Value Locked (TVL). TVL especially has become essential for DeFi projects. Higher TVL means more capital securing the protocol, which means more utility and investor confidence.

Cross-Exchange Portfolio Tracking
After you make trades, you can monitor portfolio performance across all your exchanges and cryptocurrencies in one place. No more spreadsheet gymnastics.

Try It Yourself

The platform offers a free registration tier, and registered investors get access to all premium features for one month, including a series of educational webinars covering seven trading strategies.

Because honestly, the best way to see if something works is to use it. Not read about it, not watch a demo video—actually log in and run some screens, set up some alerts, check out the pattern detection on coins you're already watching.

The crypto market isn't going anywhere. Neither is the need for tools that help you navigate it intelligently. Whether you're trying to spot the next breakout or just keep track of what you already own, having the right analytics platform makes all the difference between guessing and knowing.
