About Deribit

What is Deribit?

Deribit, founded in 2016, is the leading crypto derivatives exchange, especially known for options trading. Its daily volume consistently hovers near $1 billion, making it by far the most liquid crypto options market. Professional traders frequently rely on Deribit because they can execute sizable positions quickly without major price slippage.

The platform primarily supports derivatives tied to Bitcoin and Ethereum, including perpetual contracts, standard futures, and various options products. Its trading engine is fast, precise, and built specifically to handle high-volume derivatives trading, making Deribit the go-to exchange for serious traders who value reliability and deep liquidity.

Deribit Futures Fee Schedule

Deribit follows a maker-taker fee model for derivatives. For most futures and perpetual contracts, the maker fee is 0.00% and the taker fee is 0.05%. For BTC and ETH weekly futures, the maker fee is -0.01% and the taker fee is 0.05%.

Deribit also offers discounted fees for high-volume traders, with fees decreasing for larger volumes, and special rates for futures spreads, block trades, and option combos. Liquidation fees are additional, with 0.75% for BTC/ETH futures and 0.9% for USDC futures, applied to the total position size.

Deribit Regulation & Licensing Explained

Deribit holds one regulatory approval from VARA (Dubai), which is where the exchange is headquartered after moving its base from Panama City, Panama.

Where is Deribit Available?

Deribit provides crypto derivatives trading services in over 150 countries globally, supporting a wide international user base. However, due to regulatory and compliance reasons, the platform restricts access in several jurisdictions. Notably, Deribit is unavailable in the United States, Canada, Japan, Iran, North Korea, and other countries subject to political or regulatory limitations.

Is Deribit Safe and Legit?

Deribit holds the highest available security rating, CryptoCurrency Security Standard (CCSS) Level III certification. This means its security measures, particularly in handling crypto wallets and encryption keys, have been independently verified to the industry's strictest standards.

The platform safeguards over 99% of client funds offline, reducing risk from online attacks. It also uses mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA), advanced encryption for sensitive data, and provides additional user-set security controls, including IP and withdrawal address whitelisting.
