Institutional Crypto Derivatives Trading Through Exchange and RFQ Connectivity

Summary

This announcement describes Mercury Digital Assets’ integration with Deribit through its BEACON platform and API. The connection gives professional and institutional traders access to bitcoin and ethereum options, futures, and perpetual swaps. The platform combines exchange order-book access with proprietary theoretical prices, option greeks, implied volatility, and streaming market data, and allows traders to view multiple expiries together to compare prices.

The described workflow includes slicing large orders into smaller child orders for execution across Deribit, other exchanges, and Mercury’s RFQ network. Traders can also privately negotiate single-leg or multi-leg trades through RFQ, with block trades sent to Deribit for settlement to reduce price impact. These are platform capabilities reported in a partnership announcement; the document provides no measured execution results, liquidity comparisons, or evidence quantifying price impact. It explains available trading and execution tools rather than a trading strategy or assessment of their effectiveness.
