CoinMarketCap has just acquired CoinGlass.
Official CMC announcement (Hong Kong, 25/09/2026): transaction closed; amount not disclosed. CoinGlass remains an independent brand. Website, app, free tools, API, and pricing unchanged, according to the release.
What changes for the market:
• CMC (115M users/month) adds open interest (OI), funding, liquidations, and options alongside spot prices
• CoinGlass: 28 exchanges, 2,500+ instruments, 5M+ MAUs, 10k+ API clients (founded in 2019)
• Derivatives already account for most crypto volumes. CMC wants to make this positioning visible to the general public, not only to specialized traders
Useful reminder: Binance acquired CMC in 2020. CoinGlass, in the same data ecosystem, further concentrates derivative information flows (liquidation heatmaps, funding, OI) around an already central player. To watch on the perceived neutrality of the data, even if the release stresses operational independence.
Spot at the time of the post (26/09): BTC ≈ $84,022, ETH ≈ $2,689, SOL ≈ 120.6, XRP ≈ $1.552 (Kraken); BNB ≈ $773.5 (Coinbase). Fear & Greed 74 (Greed). OKX BTC funding calm (~0.002%).
Do you mainly consult CMC, CoinGlass, or both for positioning?
