Deribit launched in June 2016 after several years of development. John Jansen, the original founder teamed up with Marius Jansen and Sebastian Smyczýnski. Deribit started as a Bitcoin Futures and Options trading platform based out of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Deribit was created as an answer to those in search of a professional fully dedicated cryptocurrencies futures and options trading platform.

Our service enables the user to create a fully liquid marketplace to the same standards as a traditional derivatives market.

We developed our own matching engine from scratch and all of our technology is proprietary. We believe in Bitcoin and in the future of cryptocurrencies. We expect millions of traders will be trading cryptocurrencies at any given moment in time soon, and our platform is built with the potential to eventually serve those millions of users at the same time with real time low latency data.
