Coinbase收購Deribit，最大的加密貨幣期權交易所，價格為$ 2.9B

今天，Coinbase確認它已同意收購Deribit，這是最大的加密貨幣期權交易所以29億美元的價格交換，其中包括7億美元現金，並擁有股票餘額。

Coinbase is acquiring Deribinet, the largest crypto options exchange, for $2.9 billion, to be paid $700 million in cash and the balance in stock, the company announced on Wednesday.

該公司週三宣布，Coinbase正在以29億美元的價格收購Deribinet，這是最大的加密貨幣期權交易所，其現金為7億美元和股票餘額。

Deribit may not be the number one overall in crypto derivatives, but it is the world leader in crypto options. It currently has more than $30 billion in open interest. Coinbase already has a derivatives subsidiary, which is particularly active in perpetual futures, so Deribit complements this well. The acquirer claims the combination will make it the derivatives market leader.

deribit可能不是加密衍生品的總數，但它是加密選擇的世界領導者。目前，它擁有超過300億美元的開放利息。 Coinbase已經擁有一個衍生品子公司，該子公司在永久期貨中特別活躍，因此deribit可以很好地補充這一點。收購方聲稱該組合將使它成為衍生品市場的領導者。

“We’re excited to join forces with Coinbase to power a new era in global crypto derivatives,” said Deribit CEO Luuk Strijers. “As the leading crypto options platform, we’ve built a strong, profitable business, and this acquisition will accelerate the foundation we laid while providing traders with even more opportunities across spot, futures, perpetuals, and options – all one trusted brand.”

Deribit首席執行官Luuk Strijers說：“我們很高興與Coinbase聯合起來為全球加密衍生品的新時代提供動力。” “作為領先的加密貨幣選擇平台，我們建立了一家強大，有利可圖的業務，這項收購將加速我們為貿易商提供更多機會，期貨，永久性和期權的更多機會 - 都是一個值得信賴的品牌。”

Beyond market position, Coinbase highlighted financial benefits, noting that Deribit will help to even out its earnings by diversifying revenues streams because options earnings are less cyclical compared to spot.

除了市場地位之外，Coinbase強調了財務利益，並指出Deribit將通過多樣化的收入來源來幫助獲得其收益，因為與現貨相比，期權收入的周期性較小。

Deribit was founded in the Netherlands but operated out of Panama for several years, before moving recently to Dubai. A key driver was to provide regulatory certainty to its institutional clients, which make up 80-90% of its client base.

Deribit成立於荷蘭，但在最近搬到迪拜之前在巴拿馬經營了幾年。一個關鍵的驅動力是為其機構客戶提供監管確定性，佔其客戶群的80-90％。

The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to regulatory approvals.

預計該交易將在今年年底之前完成，但要獲得監管批准。
