Gate Options is now integrated with Laevitas, the derivatives data platform built for traders who need more than price feeds. The integration gives Gate’s options traders access to volatility surfaces, open interest, flows, skew analysis, and Greeks across all Gate options contracts. Alongside the crypto options data, WTI crude oil and gold options from the exchange are now live on Laevitas with the full analytics suite included.
For a platform with 50 million users and over 4,500 listed tokens, adding institutional-grade options analytics is a meaningful upgrade to what active traders can actually see and act on.
What Laevitas Provides
Laevitas is a derivatives data platform that covers options, perpetual futures, dated futures, and order books across major crypto markets with institutional-grade analytics. Its options data includes complete option chains, detailed trade flows covering blocks and strategies, implied volatility metrics, Greeks, and deep historical data.
The perpetual futures includes real-time prices, volume, funding rates, liquidations, basis levels, and open interest across venues. Dated futures come with term structure analysis and volume metrics across expirations, and order book snapshots are available historically for depth and liquidity analysis.
The practical value of that data stack is that traders can see not just where prices are but why they are there and where positioning suggests they might go. Volatility surfaces show implied volatility across strikes and expirations simultaneously, which is how professional options traders understand the market’s expectations rather than looking at a single number.
Open interest and flow data reveal where capital is actually positioned. Skew shows whether the market is paying more for upside or downside protection. Greeks tell traders how their positions will behave as conditions change.
What the Gate Integration Covers
Gate Options contracts are now fully covered within Laevitas, meaning traders using Laevitas can analyze Gate’s options markets with the same depth of analytics available for other major venues. The integration is not limited to crypto options.
WTI crude oil and gold options data from the crypto exchange are also live on Laevitas, which extends the platform’s commodity derivatives coverage in a way that is unusual for crypto-native analytics tools.
The inclusion of crude oil and palladium options reflects Gate’s expansion into commodity derivatives markets. Bringing that data into Laevitas means traders analyzing commodity options through the platform now have access to Gate’s liquidity and contract specifics alongside the analytics layer Laevitas provides.
For traders managing positions across crypto and commodity options simultaneously, having a single analytics interface that covers both removes the need to move between different data sources to maintain a coherent view of overall positioning.
Why Options Analytics Matter More Than Most Traders Realize
Most retail crypto traders focus on spot price and, to a lesser extent, perpetual futures funding rates. Options markets contain information that neither of those sources provides: the market’s implied probability distribution for future prices, the cost of hedging specific risks, and the flow of large sophisticated traders positioning for particular outcomes.
Volatility surfaces are the most information-dense output in options analytics. A full surface shows implied volatility for every strike and expiration simultaneously, which reveals whether the market is pricing tail risks, mean reversion, or specific event outcomes in ways that a spot chart cannot capture.
When implied volatility skews toward puts, it signals that the market is paying for downside protection. When it skews toward calls, it signals demand for upside exposure. These signals precede price movements in ways that traders who only watch spot charts miss entirely.
Gate’s integration with Laevitas makes this information accessible to its 50 million user base rather than limiting it to traders who already know where to find institutional derivatives data. The barrier to understanding options market structure just got lower for a significant portion of the crypto trading population.
Final Words
WTI crude oil and gold options are two of the most actively traded commodity derivatives markets in traditional finance. Their presence on Gate and now within Laevitas analytics brings that market context into the same analytical environment where crypto derivatives already live.
Gate Options integrating with Laevitas gives a 50 million user platform access to the kind of derivatives analytics that institutional traders have used for years to understand market positioning before it shows up in price.
Volatility surfaces, flow data, Greeks, and skew across crypto and commodity options contracts are now accessible through a single interface. That combination closes a gap between what retail and institutional traders can see in the same market.
