“When excellent companies operating in a similar space work together by leveraging relationships and sharing ideas, everyone wins – including, most importantly, the end-user.”

Deribit’s CEO, John Jansen, also commented saying the new service will offer block trades with a minimum of 40 Bitcoin and 800 Ether or approximately $400,000 and $150,000 for options contracts linked to those cryptocurrencies.

This is the latest positive news for the institutional crypto space after Bakkt announced the launch of their new platform.
