Battle to Own Crypto Terminal
Artemis
This is a fight to own the default research workspace for crypto investors, not just to sell raw blockchain data. Artemis and Token Terminal both package onchain metrics the way Capital IQ packages company financials, then pipe that data into the tools analysts actually use, like Sheets models, API driven dashboards, and now AI chat interfaces. The practical overlap is strongest at the moment an analyst wants comparable revenue, users, fees, or valuation inputs across many crypto assets without writing raw SQL or reconciling chain by chain definitions.

The CapIQ style comparison is literal. Artemis offers an =ART() spreadsheet workflow for Google Sheets and Excel, plus REST API, Python SDK, and Snowflake delivery. Token Terminal offers a Sheets plugin for Google Sheets and Excel, formula based data pulls, a read only API, and MCP access for AI tools.

The key product difference is scope. Token Terminal stays centered on standardized crypto project and chain metrics across hundreds of chains and applications. Artemis uses the same analyst workflow, then stretches it into stablecoins, public equities, private company data, prediction markets, and cross asset comp work inside one terminal.
-
AI is becoming a new interface layer on top of the same underlying data stack. Artemis Analyst answers questions with written analysis, SQL, and charts from its internal datasets. Token Terminal exposes its data through MCP for tools like ChatGPT and Claude. Messari pushes the same direction with Copilot and Deep Research on top of its broader institutional crypto dataset.
The next step is that crypto research terminals start behaving less like databases and more like junior analysts. The winner will be the product that keeps the familiar spreadsheet and API workflow, while adding the best AI layer and the broadest set of comparable assets, because that is what turns a niche token data tool into a core investing system.
