Speaking to Bloomberg, Deribit trading director Luuk Strijers said:
“Deribit plans to offer options for Ripple Labs' XRP, Solana's SOL, and Polygon's MATIC starting in January.
The lack of volatility in the market will not delay our plans. Additionally, Deribit will apply for a brokerage license in the European Union.”
Deribit currently offers Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options and perpetual futures on its exchange.
At this point, experts commenting on the introduction of XRP, SOL and MATIC options said, “The broader cryptocurrency alternative offered can increase liquidity in the market and provide altcoin investors with greater flexibility in managing their risks.”
