Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
GVol already provides exchanges such as Deribit and LedgerX with analytics data from centralized finance (CeFi) and DeFi options markets.
"Many of the big proprietary trading firms are very interested in options," Shawn Douglass, CEO of Amberdata, told CoinDesk. "I think that it's going to be the next evolution of DeFi."
"Nasdaq and Citi are big options players and they see this as a massive growth area for DeFi, as well as for the institutionalization of crypto," he added.
Nasdaq Ventures and Citi were among the investors of Amberdata's $30 million Series B funding round in May, which also included cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (COIN) and crypto lender Nexo.
