“We want to provide traders with a large volumeinformation on the basis of which they will be able to make an informed decision. We see great potential in cryptocurrency derivatives and try to make access to data more democratic, ”said Lee.

At the same time, CoinGecko has not yet posted products fromwell-known suppliers of derivatives CME and Bakkt. Lee clarified that the service needs reliable APIs to collect data. Once this issue is resolved, most likely, the platforms will be added to the data aggregator.
