According to a report by Bloomberg cited by TheBlock, crypto derivatives giant Deribit is attracting the attention of potential acquirers. It is reported that Deribit has hired fintech advisory firm FT Partners to evaluate strategic opportunities, including potential secondary market investments. Although Kraken had expressed interest, it ultimately did not proceed with the transaction. Sources indicate that Deribit's valuation could exceed 5 billion USD, but Deribit emphasized that it is not currently for sale. Data shows that in December 2024, Deribit accounted for 73.4% of Bitcoin options trading volume.
