Global trading awards recognise Deriv’s commitment to trust and innovation
"Trust is the true currency of online trading,” said Rakshit Choudhary, CEO of Deriv. “Recognition like this signals we’re on the right track. Building locally relevant experiences, innovating responsibly, and making advanced tools genuinely usable. It reinforces our mission to make trading accessible for anyone, anywhere, anytime. We soon plan to expand AI‑assisted education, deepen local‑language support across Africa and MENA, and roll out features to refine execution while strengthening safeguards. As client demand evolves, we’re enhancing our multi‑asset platform to responsibly connect traditional markets with crypto, where regulations permit.”
Advancing AI-powered trading for secure, accessible, and user-centric global markets
Deriv’s wins reflect its multi-jurisdictional licensing, 24/7 multilingual support, and ongoing investment in regional teams and education. Since 1999, the company has expanded access to global markets and is now utilising AI to enhance the trading experience and make advanced capabilities more accessible. In parallel, Deriv is laying the groundwork for compliant, user-first functionality that will make it simpler to discover and manage additional asset types, including select digital assets, in a secure and seamless way. Under Rakshit Choudhary’s new leadership and vision, Deriv continues to set ambitious goals for innovation and client empowerment across the trading industry.
Expanding access to global markets across Africa and MENA with tailored support

In MENA, Deriv is always looking for ways to deepen the company’s local presence and commitment to robust governance. Platform enhancements, localised support and payment options signal commitment to intuitive, efficient trading technology for both new and experienced traders and at every stage. “Our platforms are designed for usability and sophistication, whether for newcomers or experienced traders,” said Aggelos Armenatzoglou, Head of Dealings. “Recognition in MENA affirms our focus on performance, accessibility, and tools that scale with a client’s experience.”
