DerivaDEX has officially commenced derivatives trading in Bermuda as the first decentralized exchange governed by a DAO to receive a formal regulatory license.

DerivaDEX officially opened its decentralized derivatives platform in Hamilton, Bermuda, on February 17, 2026, following approval from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA). The exchange utilizes a Decentralized Autonomous Organization ( DAO) governance model and a Class T license to offer crypto perpetual swaps with sub-5 millisecond order acknowledgment latency.

The platform combines institutional-grade performance and encrypted front-running resistance with non-custodial onchain settlement on the Ethereum network. By securing a formal license while maintaining a decentralized structure, the project aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance standards and decentralized finance transparency.

“Today’s DerivaDEX launch marks a milestone in the relationship between traditional finance and decentralized trading,” says Aditya Palepu, Founder of DEXlabs.
