Great post, as usual. Building a crypto trading platform requires careful planning and consideration of various factors. Crypto is all about trust, and a platform like Deribit sets a gold standard with its proof of reserves and track record of prioritizing client satisfaction. When developing a trading platform, it's crucial to focus on security, user experience, and reliability. Implementing robust security measures, intuitive user interfaces, and ensuring seamless functionality are key aspects of creating a successful trading platform.
