About CoinGlass
CoinGlass is a crypto derivatives data platform aggregating liquidations, open interest, funding rates, options and order flow across exchanges into standardized charts and APIs. It targets inconsistent formats, incomplete history and expensive high-frequency data that make unified access hard for quant teams and institutions.
The mechanism builds a cross-exchange data model from real-time collection and tick-level processing across dozens of venues, with APIs offering liquidity heatmaps and liquidation statistics, free pages for individuals and paid API access for institutions. The moat in such data services is accumulated history and cleaning quality rather than the novelty of any single metric. Traffic from free pages mainly converts into brand recognition and API sales leads.
CoinGlass launched the Crypto Derivatives Index (CGDI), establishing a new industry benchmark.
It integrated RootData data to enhance trading decision quality. Its Q1 2026 report showed derivatives-to-spot volume at 9.6x, underscoring lasting influence in market data analysis.
CoinGlass was acquired by CoinMarketCap on September 25, 2026, with financial terms undisclosed and the deal already complete. CoinGlass keeps operating as an independent business under its own brand, with its website, app, free tools, API and pricing unchanged and its team retained; its open interest, funding rate, liquidation and options data will be integrated into CoinMarketCap, reaching its roughly 115 million monthly users. Founded in 2019, CoinGlass covers 28 exchanges and more than 2,500 instruments, serving over 5 million monthly users and about 10,000 API customers, and its liquidation heatmap is among the most widely shared charts among traders.
CoinGlass's forward direction is to move leverage and risk data from professional trading tools into mainstream price-tracking contexts: without changing existing products or pricing, the data will sit alongside CoinMarketCap's spot prices so users see positioning and liquidation clusters next to the prices they already follow; the two companies have not set a date for the in-interface integration.
CoinGlass was started in 2019 by a group of crypto derivatives practitioners whose founders had previously built data functions at CoinMarketCap and TradingView. People came from traditional data houses such as Bloomberg and Refinitiv as well as from Binance and OKX, and quantitatively trained analysts own the metric definitions and the semi-annual reports. CoinMarketCap CEO Rush said that CoinGlass keeps its team unchanged, with David Salamon connecting the two data stacks.
