Geneva, Switzerland, January 14, 2026 — TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), welcomes the launch of TRX options on Deribit by Coinbase (Deribit), one of the world’s leading digital asset derivatives exchanges. For Deribit customers in eligible jurisdictions, the new listing offers two daily, two weekly, one monthly, and one quarterly expiry, further expanding institutional-grade derivatives access to the TRON ecosystem.
The introduction of TRX options expands the range of digital asset derivatives offered by Deribit. TRX is the native utility token of the TRON blockchain. TRON is among the most widely used public blockchains globally, supporting a diverse set of use cases across payments, stablecoins, decentralized finance, and digital asset settlement..
“The introduction of TRX options on Deribit represents a meaningful development for the TRON ecosystem,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for TRON DAO. “As the range of third-party tools that are compatible with TRON continues to expand, standardized derivatives instruments help support more structured participation and long-term network utility. This listing reflects the continued evolution of the TRON ecosystem and its alignment with institutional participation across a broad set of use cases.”
“Adding TRX options to Deribit’s platform reinforces our commitment to supporting the evolving needs of global market participants,” said Jean-David Péquignot, Chief Commercial Officer at Deribit. “TRON’s scale, activity, and TVL make TRX a natural addition to our growing suite of options, providing traders with new tools to manage exposure and execute sophisticated strategies.”
The TRX options listing builds on Deribit’s broader expansion of derivatives, including linear options and previously introduced altcoin options. The growing adoption of stablecoin-settled options reflects increasing demand for flexible, capital-efficient derivatives products among both institutional and professional traders. Over the past year, Deribit has seen strong growth in linear options activity, underscoring sustained interest in innovative and accessible derivatives infrastructure.
This listing reflects the continued adoption of the TRON ecosystem as institutional participants increasingly incorporate TRX into established market frameworks. As institutional engagement with blockchain networks continues to evolve, TRON remains focused on maintaining a stable, scalable, and open network environment that supports long-term ecosystem development and a broad range of market-driven use cases.
