Deribit, the largest platform for Bitcoin and Ether options trading, is currently attracting acquisition interest, with potential buyers evaluating the exchange's estimated valuation of $4 to $5 billion. The company has engaged Financial Technology Partners LLC to advise on these opportunities. Reports indicate that interest in Deribit is part of a broader surge in crypto mergers and acquisitions. Despite the acquisition interest, Deribit’s CEO has denied reports of an imminent takeover, stating that the platform regularly receives inquiries for strategic investments. Notably, Kraken is among the interested parties in this potential acquisition.
