Coinbase is set to acquire Deribit, a leading crypto options exchange, for $2.9 billion in cash and stock.
Deribit's $30 billion open interest positions Coinbase to dominate the crypto derivatives market.
The acquisition will expand Coinbase's global reach, particularly in areas like Dubai, Asia, and the Middle East.
The deal is expected to strengthen Coinbase's revenues, enhance its trading product lineup, and solidify its position in the crypto derivatives sector.
