Glassnode expands from 10 to 40 options metrics, adding Deribit, OKX, Bybit data plus new gamma exposure and premium flow tools for BTC, ETH, SOL trading.

Glassnode has transformed from an on-chain analytics provider into a full-stack derivatives platform, quadrupling its options metrics from 10 to 40 dedicated tools.

What appears as “one call bought, one call sold” might actually be a single taker executing a strangle—a pure volatility bet with no directional bias. Glassnode now reconstructs multi-leg trades into canonical strategies: straddles, strangles, spreads, condors, and ladders. This tracks net premium for entire structures rather than isolated legs, revealing…
