Introducing FalconX MarketsBot: Real-Time Derivatives Intelligence, Right in Telegram

What if checking crypto derivatives data was as easy as sending a text? That’s exactly what our traders needed - something fast, intuitive, and mobile. So they built it.

Originally developed as an internal tool by our trading team, MarketsBot was designed to solve a daily challenge: getting key volatility and funding metrics on the fly, especially in fast-moving markets. No terminals. No dashboards. Just instant insights, right inside Telegram.

It quickly became core to the team’s workflow. From tracking vol trends to prepping trade ideas, MarketsBot became a go-to resource for sales and trading. Naturally, we asked: why not share it?

Today, we’re excited to launch FalconX MarketsBot – a Telegram-native tool that gives you instant access to crypto derivatives analytics, wherever you are.

The MarketsBot aggregates data from sources like Amberdata and Deribit and delivers it in a simple, command-driven interface. Whether you’re tracking implied volatility, analyzing basis, or checking market funding rates, MarketsBot provides key metrics in seconds.

Why We Built It
The goal wasn’t more data; it was faster access. MarketsBot gives traders a way to quickly surface key metrics in the same space where they already communicate and make decisions.

Here’s what makes MarketsBot different:

  • Aggregated data, unified access: Instead of bouncing between sources, get a full view – implied vols, realized vols, skews, basis, and more – across Binance, Deribit, and others.
  • Charts that speak for themselves: Raw metrics are turned into time series visuals and summary tables to help you identify trends, outliers, and trading opportunities.
  • Always-on, always with you: Run commands directly in Telegram to get real-time insights on the go.

How Clients Use MarketsBot
In fast-moving markets, speed and clarity are everything. Clients can use MarketsBot to:

  • Monitor implied vol trends across listed expiries to time directional vol strategies.
  • Analyze skew time series to identify stretched market conditions and structure mean reversion trades.
  • Track large trades in real-time to gauge institutional positioning and market sentiment.  
  • Identify cash-and-carry and hedging opportunities using current and historical basis and funding rate data.

Whether you’re scanning the markets between meetings or deep in the trade cycle, MarketsBot gives you the visibility you need - on the go.
