Deribit to Launch USDC‑Settled BTC & ETH Options — Watch for Liquidity Gain
I view Deribit's decision to launch linear Bitcoin and Ethereum options settled in USDC as a meaningful step to simplify USD-denominated derivatives trading. Settling in USDC should reduce settlement friction for traders and custodians who prefer stablecoin collateral.
I expect the product to attract additional liquidity and more institutional participation if margin and collateral mechanics are competitive. I'll watch open interest, spreads and implied volatility for early signs of adoption before changing any position sizes.
