CoinMarketCap Buys Derivatives Data Platform Coinglass
CoinMarketCap has acquired Coinglass, a popular derivatives data platform, in a deal announced September 25, 2026. The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Coinglass tracks open interest, funding rates, liquidations, and long/short ratios across 28 exchanges and over 2,500 instruments for its more than 5 million monthly users.
The platform will remain an independent product after the acquisition, with its website, app, free tools, API, and pricing unchanged. This mirrors how other crypto-data acquisitions have been structured to preserve an acquired platform's existing user base and integrations.
CoinMarketCap CEO Rush noted that derivatives are where most of the market's risk is taken, and Coinglass is where most people go to see it. The acquisition pairs Coinglass's derivatives visibility with CoinMarketCap's own price-tracking service, which reaches 115 million monthly users.
