Coinbase расширяет горизонты: поглощение Deribit для создания комплексной платформы криптодеривативов Translation: Headline: Coinbase Expands Horizons: Acquiring Deribit to Create a Comprehensive Crypto Derivatives Platform

The American exchange Coinbase has completed its acquisition of Deribit, the largest platform for trading Bitcoin options.

The $2.9 billion deal was first announced in May, where Coinbase agreed to pay $700 million along with 11 million Class A shares.

This acquisition will enable the exchange to consolidate spot trading, futures, perpetual contracts, and options all on a single platform. The company aims to establish a comprehensive hub for the global cryptocurrency derivatives market.

According to statements, Deribit currently holds the top position in the options market. In July 2025, the trading volume on the platform surpassed $185 billion, and the current open interest (OI) stands at approximately $59 billion.

The deal was finalized amid record performance for Deribit and increased interest in crypto options from institutional investors. Coinbase believes that the acquisition will strengthen its position in the global market and enhance liquidity, as stated in their announcement.

Deribit’s founders, brothers John and Marius Jansen, are set to depart from the company following the acquisition.

To recall, in June, the open interest in Bitcoin options on derivative exchanges exceeded $45 billion, with Deribit accounting for about 90% of the total.
