FAQ
Does Deribit use external custodians or self-custody for Bitcoin?
Deribit operates its own in-house cold storage infrastructure rather than relying on third-party custodians like Coinbase Custody. This model gives the exchange tighter control over settlement speed and collateral availability for its derivatives operations.
What role do these deposit addresses play in Deribit's options business?
Deposit addresses receive Bitcoin collateral from traders opening positions, funding margin accounts, and posting security for leveraged contracts. The exchange uses these reserves to guarantee settlement of options expiry and protect against counterparty default.
How were these specific Bitcoin addresses attributed to Deribit?
The addresses listed here come from blockchain analysis, Deribit's own public disclosures, and cross-referencing with major wallet label databases. These represent selected verified wallets, not Deribit's complete on-chain footprint, which spans many more infrastructure addresses.
What percentage of global BTC options volume does Deribit handle?
Deribit dominates the options space with roughly 85% market share in both Bitcoin and Ethereum derivatives. This concentration means the Bitcoin held in deposit addresses backstops a massive portion of the entire global derivatives ecosystem.
