Deriv is an online trading broker founded in 1999 that provides CFDs and other derivatives on forex, stocks and indices, cryptocurrencies, commodities and its own Derived Indices. The company reports more than 3 million traders across over 150 countries, millions of registered users, and millions of transactions processed each day. It operates globally and is regulated in Malta by the Malta Financial Services Authority.
Technically, Deriv's work spans online trading platforms, financial technology and derivatives/CFD trading, together with multi-asset market access and the algorithmic and continuous processing of market data. Its systems support round-the-clock access to global financial markets, a requirement that shapes much of its engineering.
Deriv Trader, a proprietary trading platform giving traders access to global financial markets around the clock, sits alongside Deriv MT5, a MetaTrader 5-based offering for multi-asset trading. Derived Indices are proprietary synthetic instruments that Deriv offers as tradable products next to conventional asset classes. The company describes its approach as combining technology with accessibility, alongside an emphasis on compliance, security and trust as a regulated broker.
