Option chain

5-minute snapshots of every listed option across Deribit, Binance, OKX, and Bybit. One row per (exchange, instrument, snapshot) carrying mark / bid / ask prices, implied volatilities, greeks, open interest, and 24h volume.

History. Chain snapshots are available from 2026-05-12 onward (all four exchanges). For option history before that date, use the option trade tape instead — api.trade with exchange = 'deribit-option' reaches back to 2016 (see Coverage) — and recompute IV / greeks from the premium.

mark_price	Decimal(38, 18)	Exchange mark
index_price	Decimal(38, 18)	Underlying index price
underlying_price	Decimal(38, 18)	Spot/forward of the underlying at snapshot time
mark_iv	Decimal(38, 18)	Mark implied volatility, annualized % (e.g. 65.0 = 65%)

Implied volatility unit. All four exchanges return IV annualized; we normalize the scale at ingest so mark_iv = 65.0 means 65% annualized vol regardless of source exchange.

Examples

1. Latest snapshot of the BTC option chain on Deribit:

WITH (
  SELECT max(timestamp)
  FROM api.option_chains
  WHERE exchange = 'deribit' AND underlying_asset = 'BTC'
) AS latest_ts
SELECT *
FROM api.option_chains
WHERE exchange = 'deribit'
  AND underlying_asset = 'BTC'
  AND timestamp = latest_ts
ORDER BY expiration, strike, option_type

2. ATM volatility smile for one expiration (any exchange):

WITH (
  SELECT max(timestamp)
  FROM api.option_chains
  WHERE exchange = 'deribit' AND underlying_asset = 'BTC'
) AS latest_ts
SELECT strike, option_type, mark_iv, bid_iv, ask_iv
FROM api.option_chains
WHERE exchange = 'deribit'
  AND underlying_asset = 'BTC'
  AND toDate(expiration) = toDate('2026-06-26')
  AND timestamp = latest_ts
  AND mark_iv != 0
ORDER BY strike, option_type

3. ATM-strike IV across exchanges (cross-venue arb signal):

WITH (
  SELECT max(timestamp)
  FROM api.option_chains
  WHERE underlying_asset = 'BTC'
) AS latest_ts
SELECT exchange, instrument_name, mark_iv, mark_price
FROM api.option_chains
WHERE underlying_asset = 'BTC'
  AND option_type = 'C'
  AND timestamp = latest_ts
  AND underlying_price > 0
  AND abs(strike - underlying_price) / toFloat64(underlying_price) < 0.02
ORDER BY exchange, abs(strike - underlying_price)
LIMIT 8
