The drunkenness of cryptocurrency options still speaks to Kraken for a potential acquisition, contrary to the reports that the American exchange had moved away from a potential agreement to buy discomfort, said a person familiar with the case.
Recent reports have also confirmed that the crypto option platform worked with FT Partners to assess buyout offers, but the CEO of Deribit, Luuk Strijers, excluded a situation of buyout. The company could be estimated at $ 4 billion at $ 5 billion or even more, according to Bloomberg.
A second source said that Coinbase d’Echange listed (Coin) also kicked the tires of the drunkenness.
Deribit is an attractive control objective because it is the overwhelming exchange of the market of digital asset options, which Kraken will seek to add to his trading offer, Stimirs said in a previous report.
Kraken and Deribit refused to comment. Coinbase did not respond to requests for comments in press times
