Competition

• From this Vietnamese blog (3-12-2020):

"Opyn is like an unauthorized Deribit, its only advantage is that there is no KYC. If KYC is not a problem for a particular trader, then the logical choice is to trade on Deribit instead of Opyn since the pricing structure is exactly the same. Trading on Deribit is cheaper and the exchange is also much more liquid."
