San Francisco, March 19 — Caspian, the full-stack crypto trading, portfolio and risk management platform for professional traders and investors, today announced that it has integrated its platform with Deribit, a leading crypto options and futures exchange, to become the first institutional platform to offer both options and futures trading in these asset classes.

Launched in 2016, Deribit provides a highly liquid marketplace for trading Bitcoin options and futures and Ethereum options, futures and Deribit Perpetual. Deribit also offers traders free deposits and withdrawals, up to 100x leverage and competitive trading fees.
