>Deribit ... it's been operating successfully for a while now.

Deribit operates from Panama.

Typically these markets work well until there is finally some big event in the markets. Just when when big wins and losses are actualized they have "technical difficulties" or they just disappear.

Yeah, so that's why I was more hesitant about Deribit than I was about LedgerX. I have full faith in LedgerX the company and the regulator that oversees is. With Deribit you only really have a track record to go on, because if past performance fails to predict the future then you're kinda SOL.

But if you're outside the US I'm not sure there are many other choices. I think okex and bit.com might both offer some flavor of option, but last I looked were relatively tiny markets.
