Binance public data
Free downloadable files with Binance's historical spot and futures market data (klines, trades, aggregated trades), published daily and monthly.
The best free source of crypto history for backtests: bulk files, every symbol, down to 1-second candles.
Who it is for
Anyone backtesting crypto strategies who needs years of clean candles or trades without API limits.
Strengths
- All symbols; daily files available the next day, monthly files at the start of each month.
- Every kline interval from 1 second to 1 month.
- Spot, USD-M and COIN-M futures data.
Good to know
- Spot timestamps switched to microseconds from 1 January 2025; handle both units in your code.
