đ¨Deribit targets the U.S. â the options giant is ready to enter the worldâs largest market
âĄď¸ According to Financial Times, Deribit, the worldâs leading crypto options exchange â handling over $30 billion in monthly volume and commanding more than 85% of global crypto options market share â is preparing to launch in the United States.
Until recently, Deribit had avoided the U.S. due to strict regulatory barriers. But with the Trump administration signaling a more crypto-friendly stance and pressure easing from the SEC, the landscape is changing fast.
The company is now actively working on regulatory alignment and infrastructure to operate legally within the U.S. If successful, this move could challenge legacy derivatives platforms like CME and inject serious competition into the American options market.
Why does it matter?
Deribit isnât just another exchange â it helps define price discovery for Bitcoin and Ethereum through options and futures, directly influencing institutional strategies.
Will U.S. platforms keep up with this âEuropean waveâ?
And could this mark the rise of America as a global crypto derivatives hub?
