CoinMarketCap's 115 million users get CoinGlass liquidation and funding data after buyout

CoinMarketCap will add CoinGlass’s liquidation, funding rate, and open-interest data for its 115 million monthly users after acquiring the crypto derivatives tracker, the companies said on Friday.

The deal is completed, and neither company disclosed a price.

CoinGlass’s API, app and prices stay as they were

CoinGlass has been tracking more than 2,500 instruments across 28 exchanges since 2019. CoinMarketCap claims CoinGlass has more than 5 million monthly users and 10,000 API customers.

CoinGlass’s liquidation heatmap has become one of the charts traders pass around most, said CoinMarketCap.

CoinMarketCap chief executive Rush promised CoinGlass users would notice no difference. The site, app, free tools, API, and fee schedule all remain unchanged, as does its team, CoinGlass said.

Binance has owned the tracker since April 2020

CoinGlass made leverage data accessible to the average trader, said David Salamon, CoinMarketCap’s chief product officer.

CoinMarketCap plans to display leverage data alongside its spot prices and says derivatives now make up most of crypto’s trading volume.

Binance has been the owner of CoinMarketCap since April 2020. When Binance bought the cryptocurrency aggregator, it said the website would remain independent, and the exchange would not influence its rankings.

Blockworks acquired rival data company Messari in June, while S&P Global led an extension of Kaiko’s Series B to $110 million in September, according to Cryptopolitan.
