The worlds of traditional investment markets and cryptocurrency got a little closer today, with the adoption of crypto options data from London-headquartered analytics firm Block Scholes on the famous Bloomberg terminal.Block Scholes’ products are built by experienced quants and technologists from leading financial institutions, and meet a demand for high-quality cryptocurrency derivatives data from traditional investors.
The Bloomberg Terminal has been used by financial services professionals to analyse real-time financial market data since 1982, and is used by most large financial organisations, with more than 300,000 Bloomberg Terminal subscribers worldwide.
Eamonn Gashier, Founder & CEO of Block Scholes said: “This builds an important bridge between the crypto markets and institutional finance: traditional finance players have long been held back from trading on decentralized exchanges due to a lack of quality data.
“By making our data available via the trusted Bloomberg Platform, we hope to drive engagement from traditional finance players in the crypto markets, empowering them with the same trusted data that powers the great majority of options trading in decentralized exchanges, through a familiar channel.
Bloomberg Terminal users can now access Block Scholes’ institutional-grade crypto options datasets within analytics on the Bloomberg Terminal as well as download the data for enterprise workflows.
For global institutions, this marks a turning point in the adoption of cryptocurrency derivatives data, with the same standards applied across traditional investment markets.
Block Scholes’ regulatory status in research with the UK Financial Conduct Authority and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission offers further reassurance and credibility to institutional participants.
Current Bloomberg coverage focuses on derived datasets, including implied volatility surfaces and forward curves for Bitcoin and Ether, accessible via the Bloomberg Terminal and Enterprise APIs.
These are calibrated across standard delta pillars and tenors using the most liquid options markets.Beyond this initial integration, Block Scholes maintains a significantly broader proprietary dataset, covering implied volatility and derivatives metrics across a wide range of altcoins.
This expanded coverage is currently available directly to institutional clients through Block Scholes, providing access to deeper analytics and a wider asset universe beyond the initial integration scope.This extensive dataset allows institutional traders to analyze market behavior, price sensitivity, and correlation patterns across multiple digital assets with precision.
