About Deriv

Deriv is a long-running broker founded in 1999 and headquartered in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. Formerly known as Binary.com, it is best known for its exclusive synthetic indices, which trade around the clock alongside forex and CFDs.

The broker operates through several entities regulated by Malta's MFSA, Malaysia's Labuan FSA, Vanuatu's VFSC, the BVI FSC and the Seychelles FSA.

Trading is available on a range of platforms including Deriv MT5, Deriv cTrader, Deriv X and Deriv Trader, covering forex, indices, commodities, synthetic indices, crypto CFDs and stocks. The minimum deposit is around USD 5, with a minimum lot size of 0.01 and variable EUR/USD spreads from around 0.5 pips.

Leverage reaches up to 1:1000 on some accounts via offshore entities, while EU retail clients are capped at 1:30 under MFSA. With a FinPip rating of 3.9 out of 5, Deriv suits traders drawn to its unique synthetic products and very low entry cost, though its high-leverage offering runs through offshore entities and its synthetic instruments are complex and high-risk.
