Deribit FAQ
What countries are restricted?
Deribit says it tries to serve as many jurisdictions as possible while adhering to international rules. The best way to check which jurisdictions are not permitted is to check the restricted jurisdictions list.
Is KYC required?
Yes. Deribit requires personal verification before clients have access to deposits, withdrawals, or any trade-related activity. With machine-readable documents, verification typically takes a couple of minutes via the verification page.
What is the difference between Portfolio Margin and Standard Margin?
Standard margin calculates margin requirements for each position individually and sums them for the account. Portfolio margin looks at the whole portfolio and calculates requirements based on portfolio risks. Standard margin can be better for long-only options or futures positions, while portfolio margin will usually be better for portfolios with positions that at least partially hedge each other, such as option spreads or combinations of futures and options.
