Deribit is exploring strategic opportunities, including a potential sale, with a valuation between $4 billion and $5 billion.
Deribit's Record Trading Volume
In 2024, Deribit's total trading volume surged to a record $1.2 trillion, solidifying its presence in the crypto derivatives market. Founded in 2016, the platform doubled its options trading volume last year, reaching $743 billion, reflecting heightened institutional demand and market volatility.
Collaboration with FT Partners
According to Bloomberg, Deribit's initial collaboration with FT Partners focused on secondary stock sales. However, discussions have expanded to include full acquisition bids. Deribit clarified that no formal process has begun.
Future Prospects in the Crypto Business
The boom in crypto M&A post-Trump win, with $1.2 billion in Q4 deals, opens up new possibilities for Deribit.
As a leader in the crypto derivatives sector, Deribit continues to attract significant interest from potential buyers. The future direction of Deribit remains an open question.
