Amberdata, the leading provider of digital asset data, announced its acquisition of Genesis Volatility (GVol), a provider of institutional-grade crypto options data analytics and research. The acquisition enhances Amberdata’s digital asset data solutions with best-in-class options and derivatives data, analytics, and research, as well as accelerating strategic product initiatives.
Founded in January 2020, GVol is a pioneering crypto options analytics platform provider servicing leading financial institutions and top options exchanges, including Deribit, LedgerX, bit.com and Delta Exchange. Utilizing deep expertise in options trading and data science, GVol provides crypto options traders with comprehensive real-time and historical data from leading CeFi and DeFi options markets, together with a robust set of analytics and tools, allowing them to identify opportunities, manage risk, and build better strategies.
In addition to enhancing Amberdata’s crypto options data, the acquisition will accelerate two key product initiatives. GVol’s DeFi options data and analytics will accelerate Amberdata’s plans to provide the most comprehensive lens into DeFi for its institutional customers, which includes the likes of Citi, Fidelity and Nasdaq, by adding support for DeFi options protocols like Frikton, Ribbon and Lyra. Amberdata’s unique approach to data and insights provides four lenses into DeFi protocols: wallet, asset, pool, and protocol level. These proprietary lenses allow institutional investors to effectively identify trends and asset movement, backtest trading strategies, and account for and manage their portfolio P&Ls. Additionally, GVol’s options analytics GUI will be enhanced with Amberdata’s fundamental (on-chain), DeFi and market data to build out comprehensive institutional-grade digital asset market intelligence and risk analytics applications.
