Deribit to Move Onchain Options to zkVM Infrastructure

  • Deribit will move onchain options to a zkVM system settling on Ethereum
  • Onchain options made up only 4.3% of Deribit's notional over 30 days
  • Derive holds 95% of onchain options premium volume
  • The upgrade promises portfolio cross-margining and better capital efficiency
Why it matters: If Deribit pulls retail flow onchain, it could accelerate the decentralized options market and challenge Derive's dominance.
