Why Deribit Dominates Crypto Options Despite Big Exchange Competition During WuBlockchain exclusive interview, @DeribitOfficial CEO Luuk Strijers noted that the exchange's enduring lead stems from entering the market as early as 2016, when few were focused on crypto options, securing a decisive first-mover advantage. While other venues diversified into adjacent products, Deribit remained singularly focused on options, investing in proprietary low-latency hardware. That focus, he said, translated into execution quality and reputation—making Deribit a bellwether for the crypto options market.
