Deribit offers return for USDC owners
Deribit, the world's largest crypto option exchange, Has announced A new reward program for justified USDC holders to expand the users' consumption options and to increase the total capital efficiency on the platform.
These payments are possible because Deribit Coinbase uses as a custody solution for USDC and Coinbase in return pays rewards to those who hold USDC over them. In July 2025, the reward rate was 4 %, although users should consider that coinbase adjusts these sentences regularly.
USDC is the second largest stable coin in the world with a market value of $ 63.83 billion at the time of publication. Deribit accounts for almost 80 % of the global trade volume in crypto options.
The authorization to receive the USDC return is determined by the location of the user, Deribit said in the official message and added that the location and the main business seat are taken into account in institutional users.
In addition, users have to keep their USDC directly at Deribit and now also with an external storage to achieve the return. In the case of a hybrid solution, only the USDC held at Deribit is taken into account.
The first rewards will be paid out in August 2025, whereby the amount was calculated on the basis of the minimum capital held on the day between July 15 and July 31, the stock exchange announced.
