XRP Market Microstructure for Quantitative Researchers
Resolved Markets provides quantitative researchers with unprecedented access to 11.4M+ prediction market orderbook snapshots, enabling rigorous analysis of market microstructure, price discovery mechanisms, and information cascades across crypto, sports, economics, and weather categories. The platform's ClickHouse-backed historical storage allows rapid queries across months of full bid/ask depth data with millisecond timestamps, supporting hypothesis testing without the sampling bias of traditional prediction market datasets. Researchers benefit from WebSocket streaming for live capture and REST APIs for batch analysis, enabling both real-time market observations and deep historical investigations into how information propagates through Polymarket.
Quant teams reach for XRP Market Microstructure when they need orderbook microstructure that public datasets don't expose. Resolved Markets provides 20Hz capture against live crypto spot prices across BTC up/down tokens, ETH 1h settlements, SOL daily markets, with documented methodology and reproducible exports — the building blocks of empirical microstructure research.
Data challenges Quantitative Researchers run into
XRP Market Microstructure from Resolved Markets is built around the data gaps Quantitative Researchers hit when they try to work with raw Polymarket feeds.
Prediction market datasets typically lack orderbook depth information
Published prediction market datasets (Manifold, CPMM datasets) provide only aggregate trade volumes or final outcomes, omitting the rich orderbook structure that reveals price discovery mechanisms. Researchers cannot analyze bid/ask spreads, order accumulation patterns, or market depth changes—the very microstructure that reveals when informed traders enter markets. Resolved Markets captures complete depth arrays, enabling investigation of information asymmetry and market efficiency questions that remain unanswerable with standard datasets.
Millisecond-precision timestamps unavailable from alternative sources
Academic research on prediction markets requires precise timing to correlate information arrivals with price movements. Standard prediction market APIs provide second-level or day-level timestamps, obscuring the millisecond-scale price discovery process. Resolved Markets' millisecond-precision timestamps enable sophisticated event-study methodologies, allowing researchers to measure how quickly Polymarket incorporates external information (news, sports outcomes, economic reports) into prediction prices.
Cross-category market analysis requires manual data fusion
Prediction market dynamics vary dramatically across crypto, sports, economics, and weather—but assembling a unified dataset requires independently scraping each category or using fragmented APIs. Manual data fusion introduces inconsistencies in timestamp precision, orderbook representation, and market coverage. Resolved Markets provides standardized orderbook snapshots across all 100+ tracked markets, eliminating data integration work and enabling cross-category analysis of market efficiency and herding behavior.
Real-time and historical data require separate infrastructure
Traditional research workflows separate real-time observation (for validating hypotheses on live markets) from historical analysis (for deep investigations). This split requires maintaining two separate data pipelines. Resolved Markets unifies real-time WebSocket streams and historical batch queries into a single API, allowing researchers to seamlessly transition from exploratory analysis of live markets to rigorous backtesting against months of historical orderbook data.
Built for quantitative work on XRP Market Microstructure
Orderbook-level prediction-market data that doesn't exist anywhere else.
Investigate price discovery mechanisms at millisecond resolution
Price discovery happens at the orderbook level—before trades execute, bids and asks reveal trader intentions. With full depth arrays and millisecond timestamps, you can track how orders accumulate before price moves, quantify bid/ask asymmetry changes, and measure how quickly informed orders push prices toward fair value. Analyze moments when sudden order cancellations precede price reversals, revealing strategic order placement and information cascades invisible in trade-level data.
Analyze orderbook microstructure across 100+ markets simultaneously
Prediction markets exhibit distinct microstructure across categories: crypto markets show high-frequency trading dynamics, sports markets experience demand surges near game time, economics markets react to scheduled data releases. Resolved Markets captures cross-category orderbook data with consistent timestamping, enabling comparative studies of information flow and market maturity. Quantify whether crypto prediction markets are more efficient than sports or economics markets by analyzing order speed, spread compression, and depth changes.
Test market efficiency hypotheses with unbiased historical data
Published datasets introduce sampling bias—researchers often access only final outcomes or aggregate statistics, not the continuous orderbook snapshots that define true price paths. Resolved Markets' 11.4M+ snapshots covering months of data eliminate survivor bias and provide the complete information set available to market participants at any moment. Historical queries directly reveal when arbitrage opportunities existed, whether informed traders exploited them, and how quickly prices converged to fundamental values.
Publish reproducible research with timestamped, auditable datasets
Reproducible research requires datasets that can be audited and independently verified. Resolved Markets provides timestamped, immutable orderbook snapshots stored in ClickHouse with query-transparent access—you can export exact data used in analyses, enabling other researchers to validate findings or extend work. REST API batch exports include snapshot checksums, ensuring data integrity across research teams and publications.

Frequently asked: XRP Market Microstructure for Quantitative Researchers
-
How comprehensive is the orderbook depth data—do you capture all orders or just top-N levels?
Resolved Markets captures complete bid/ask depth arrays showing all resting orders at each price level, not just the top 5 or top 20 levels. This enables full microstructure analysis including visualization of iceberg orders, detection of spoofing (fake orders designed to manipulate prices), and measurement of true market liquidity across all price levels. Each snapshot includes full depth with millisecond precision.
-
Can I query historical data for specific time windows, or must I download all 11.4M snapshots?
Resolved Markets provides REST API query functions supporting time-range filtering, market symbol filtering, and orderbook metric calculations (spreads, depth, order counts). Query a single sports market during game hours, or aggregate across all crypto markets during a specific 24-hour window. ClickHouse backend enables sub-second query response times even against months of historical data—you're not limited to batch downloads.
-
Are timestamp precision and consistency guaranteed across all markets and the full dataset?
Yes—all 11.4M snapshots include millisecond-precision timestamps captured at the moment of orderbook state validation.
