 <p>Crypto derivatives <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="exchange" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/exchange.html">exchange</a> Deribit is seeking to apply for a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="brokerage" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/brokerage.html">brokerage</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="license" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/license.html">license</a> in the European Union roughly a year after the platform suffered a $28 million hack.</p>
 <p>In an interview with Bloomberg, Deribit CCO, Luuk Strijers, said the EU is currently considered by the exchange as the “best environment to launch new products,” although in early 2023 reports said the business was planning to move to Dubai.</p>

 <p>He also added that the firm is expecting “some increased volatility” in early 2024 as Deribit plans to launch new options on Solana (SOL), XRP, and Polygon (MATIC) — altcoins, which have been classified as a security by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As of press time, Deribit offers Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options.</p>

 <p>Despite high-profile incidents in the past, the largest cryptocurrency <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="exchange" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/exchange.html">exchange</a> for options is pushing to expand its services in new regions. In early November 2023, Deribit confirmed it suffered a $28 million exploit on one of its hot wallets. The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="exchange" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/exchange.html">exchange</a> reassured clients it would compensate the lost funds through its emergency reserve funds, meaning that the insurance fund would not be affected in any way.</p>
 <p>Founded in 2015, Deribit controls over 80% of the global crypto options market, according to data from Laevitas, a quantitative data analytics firm. The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="exchange" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/exchange.html">exchange</a> has raised $140 million over two rounds, supported by 10T Holdings and Akuna Capital.</p>
