Coinbase Global收購了世界上最大的比特幣和以太選項平台Deribit，價格為$ 2.9B

該交易（如果最終確定）將標誌著加密貨幣歷史上最大的收購之一，大大擴大了Coinbase的衍生產品的產品。

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) is acquiring Deribit, the world’s largest bitcoin and ether options platform, for about $2.9 billion in cash and stock, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

《華爾街日報》報導，Coinbase Global（NASDAQ：COIN）正在收購世界上最大的比特幣和以太幣選擇平台Deribit，其現金和股票約為29億美元。

Deribit’s options trade has an 85% market share in bitcoin, and the platform reported $1.2 trillion in trading volume for 2024.

Deribit的期權交易在比特幣中擁有85％的市場份額，該平台報告了2024年的1.2萬億美元交易量。

The WSJs report comes after sources told Bloomberg last week that the deal could value Deribit at around $4 billion to $5 billion.

WSJS的報告是在消息人士上週告訴彭博社，該交易價值約為40億至50億美元之後。

Both firms have informed regulators in Dubai, where Deribit holds its license, according to the report.

該報告稱，兩家公司都向迪拜的監管機構告知了Deribit擁有其許可證的監管機構。

The acquisition will expand Coinbase’s derivatives offerings and bolster its competitive edge against rivals such as Binance and Bybit as they tap into surging demand for crypto derivatives.

此次收購將擴大Coinbase的衍生產品的產品，並在競爭對手（例如Binance and Bybit）中加強其競爭優勢，因為它們利用了對加密衍生物的需求飆升。

Derivatives trading volumes on Coinbase soared 10,950% year-over-year in 2024, according to the company’s latest earnings report.

根據該公司最新的收益報告，在2024年，Coinbase上的衍生品交易量飆升了10,950％。

Industry analysts told the WSJ that the move is part of a broader trend of consolidation in the crypto sector.

行業分析師告訴WSJ，此舉是加密部門合併更廣泛趨勢的一部分。

Earlier this year, Kraken (NASDAQ:KRKN) bought futures platform Ninjatrader for $1.5 billion.

今年早些時候，Kraken（NASDAQ：KRKN）以15億美元的價格購買了Futures Platform Ninjatrader。

Deribit’s Dubai license also aligns with Coinbase’s strategy to expand into crypto-friendly markets in the Middle East.

Deribit的迪拜許可證也與Coinbase的戰略相吻合，該戰略將擴展到中東的加密友好型市場。

“Deribit’s strengths in direct professional client engagement and execution within the sizable global crypto derivatives markets will complement Coinbase’s own footprint,” Coinbase said in its blog post.

Coinbase在其博客文章中說：“ Deribit在全球龐大的加密衍生品市場中的直接專業客戶參與和執行方面的優勢將補充Coinbase自己的足跡。”

The report comes after rumors of a potential Deribit acquisition surfaced last month.

該報告是在上個月關於潛在的貶低收購的謠言之後。

Coinbase is making its most substantial move yet to accelerate our international growth strategy with the planned acquisition of Deribit, the world’s largest bitcoin and ether options platform, Deribit.

Coinbase尚未採取最重要的舉動，以加速我們的國際增長戰略，而計劃收購世界上最大的比特幣和以太選擇平台Deribit。

Coinbase has begun notifying U.S. regulators of the planned deal, and Deribit has informed relevant authorities in Dubai, where it holds its license, according to people familiar with the matter.

據熟悉此事的人們稱，Coinbase已開始通知美國監管機構該計劃的交易，Deribit已告知迪拜的相關當局，該機構持有其許可證。

Still, there are regulatory hurdles to clear before the deal, whose terms are not yet finalized, can be approved.

儘管如此，在交易之前仍可以清除監管障礙，其條款尚未完成，可以批准。

The integration of Deribit’s technology and professional client base would expand Coinbase’s footprint in the large and growing global crypto derivatives markets.

Deribit技術和專業客戶群的集成將擴大Coinbase在大型全球加密衍生品市場中的佔地面積。

Its experience in navigating U.S. regulations could aid in gaining approvals, though there are still uncertainties.

儘管仍然存在不確定性，但它在《美國法規》中的經驗可能有助於獲得批准。

The deal also highlights the crypto sector’s maturation, with derivatives now driving a majority of global trading activity.

該交易還凸顯了加密貨幣部門的成熟，現在衍生品已經推動了大部分全球交易活動。

Once finalized, the deal will be announced and material terms disclosed in a Form 8K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

一旦完成，將宣布該交易，並在向美國證券交易委員會提交的8K表格中披露的物質條款。
