CoinGecko Has Improved its Website with New Derivatives Feature

CoinGecko has launched its very own cryptocurrency derivatives section, tracking the growing number of derivatives products.

According to reports, the section encompasses about 100 such products like perpetual swaps and futures from about 20 derivatives exchanges.

Besides, the cryptocurrency data aggregator becomes the first to offer free, unimpeded access to aggregated crypto derivatives data like price. Other include interest, basis, funding rates, expiry dates, and trading volume.

CEO of CoinGecko, TM Lee pointed out that the firm plans to add more metrics in the future. As well as, options and leveraged tokens offered by various exchanges. Quoting him: “We hope to empower traders with more data that they can use to make better-informed decisions. We’re excited about the potential growth of crypto derivatives. Therefore, we want to further democratize data access as we continually commit to the maturation of the digital asset space.”

The supported derivatives can be accessed in different ways, such as by isolating products from certain exchanges.

However, the derivative section doesn’t support products from some popular derivatives providers like CME and Bakkt for now. Although, reports state that its due to the need for a reliable API for the data and other exchanges would join soon.

Before now, only a few platforms like Skew offered data providers the opportunity to monitor derivatives based on cryptocurrencies. However, CoinGecko now joins the pack.
