Deribit Company Intelligence

Established in 2014 by John Jansen, Deribit was conceived with one aim: to be a professional, fully dedicated cryptocurrency futures and options trading platform. The exchange prioritises low latency in its markets to realise this goal, allowing traders to post thousands of orders per second.

From humble beginnings, Deribit has become a pioneer in the crypto derivatives space. They were the first to launch European-style cash-settled options on BTC and ETH, have developed functionalities like multi-instrument block trading, market maker protection, and portfolio margin for crypto derivatives.
