Deribit Introduces Linear Options for BTC and ETH
Launch reinforces Deribit's dedication to innovation and delivering premier trading solutions to market DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Deribit, the world's premier digital assets derivatives exchange, today announced the launch of new linear options contracts for BTC and ETH, priced and settled in USDC, effective August 19. They come with new USDC-settled BTC & ETH dated futures, alongside the existing USDC-settled perpetual futures. The launch of these new platform features was driven by strong institutional and retail demand. This latest addition to the Deribit platform follows just over a year after the successful integration of linear options for altcoins, including SOL and XRP, also settled in USDC. It also comes on the heels of USDC rewards being introduced, enabling users to earn passive returns on USDC holdings without requiring staking, lockups, or any manual action. The positive reception and growing demand for stablecoin-settled options in the altcoin space demonstrated the market's readiness for more flexible and accessible derivatives products. Building on that momentum, Deribit is now expanding its linear options offering to include BTC and ETH. Deribit CEO Luuk Strijers commented on the news, 'The introduction of linear options for BTC and ETH marks a significant milestone in our mission to offer institutional-grade products tailored to the evolving needs of our clients. By settling in USDC, we're providing greater flexibility, capital efficiency, and a familiar fiat-equivalent structure that appeals to both institutional and retail participants.' Linear options are financial derivatives whose payouts move in direct proportion to the price of the underlying asset. As the asset's price rises or falls, the value of the option adjusts accordingly, offering traders a predictable and transparent exposure to market movements. These instruments are commonly utilized for purposes such as hedging, speculative positioning, and yield enhancement, making them a valuable addition to a comprehensive trading strategy. The introduction of linear options will have no impact on Deribit's existing inverse BTC and ETH options (priced and settled in BTC, ETH) which will continue to operate as usual. The new linear options are fully integrated into the platform's risk engine and will offset inverse options for margin purposes, providing greater capital efficiency for traders managing both product types. They also come in smaller minimum order sizes (0.01 BTC and 0.1 ETH only) than the existing inverse options to provide better accessibility.
