The Deribit migration consolidates Coinbase’s derivatives trading by moving institutional access from the Coinbase International Exchange to Deribit, requiring new API keys, reconfigured IP allowlists, and manual recreation of open orders from the old venue.

Affected institutional API clients must switch to Deribit endpoints and obtain new Deribit API keys, as there is no parallel trading window and legacy keys will not work.

API keys and IP allowlists do not transfer automatically; users must manually configure access on Deribit, and instrument names or history may differ after the switch.

Deribit supports assets like BTC, ETH, USDC, SOL, XRP, LUNA, and AVAX, offering features such as a TradingView terminal, mobile apps, leverage up to 50x, and competitive fixed below-market commissions.

Deribit emerged as the surviving platform with about 96.6% of Coinbase group derivatives open interest (roughly $39.26 billion on Deribit of $40.65 billion total) as of early September 2026, following Coinbase’s $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit in August 2025.

The migration is framed against prior Deribit coverage, including USDC-settled perpetual futures and platform upgrades.

Retail users on Coinbase app/website will see updated workflows but retain their Coinbase accounts, with some screens and market data potentially changing.

Retail users accessing Coinbase’s site should experience maintained core workflows, with non-US retail access to options expected in late October, subject to conditions.

For Coinbase app/website users, the path remains familiar but Deribit now powers the derivatives gateway for Advanced Trade API users, with the account and base workflows preserved.

The migration aims to unify derivatives liquidity by consolidating activity previously split between Coinbase International Exchange and Deribit.

Migration and platform upgrades were planned to begin around 9:00 UTC on October 1.
