Deribit, the leading cryptocurrency options exchange, is expanding its offerings with USDC-settled Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options, launching August 19th. This addition complements their existing USDT-based options, providing investors with more flexibility and choice. Beyond options, Deribit will also introduce USDC-margined perpetual and regular futures contracts. This move signals a broader shift towards USDC adoption within the Deribit ecosystem. The launch comes shortly after the announcement of Coinbase's acquisition of Deribit for $2.9 billion. While the acquisition is significant, Deribit continues to innovate and provide diverse trading instruments for its users, further solidifying its position in the crypto derivatives market. ```
