Deribit is live since June 2016 after several years of development. John Jansen, the original founder, teamed up with Marius Jansen, Sebastian Smyczýnski and Andrew Yanovsky. Deribit started as a Bitcoin Futures and Options platform. Soon was realized more services could be offered due to the choices made regarding technology and infrastructure that powers the platform. These choices have resulted in a high availability, high throughput and low latency trading environment. Deribit is is expanding every day as we speak and new cryptocurrency trading products are under development. We have a team of 8 people working on the platform and we run our daily office from Amsterdam (The Netherlands).
