According to @charlesdhaussy, Coinbase has officially acquired Deribit, the leading cryptocurrency derivatives exchange. This strategic move positions Coinbase to dominate the crypto options and futures trading market, potentially increasing institutional flow and liquidity across Bitcoin and Ethereum derivatives. Traders should monitor shifts in open interest and volume on Coinbase and Deribit platforms, as this acquisition is likely to introduce new trading products and expand U.S. regulatory influence in global crypto derivatives markets (source: @charlesdhaussy, May 8, 2025).
