In order to determine whether we can onboard our clients onto our regulated exchange in Dubai or onto Deribit Panama, which is a broker that executes orders on Deribit Dubai, we need to classify our clients.
There are three types of Investor Classifications:
-
Institutional Investor
-
Qualified Investor
-
Retail Investor
Qualified Investors and Institutional Investors can be directly onboarded onto Deribit FZE, the Dubai exchange.
Retail Investors are directly onboarded onto Deribit Panama.
