Derive vs Ondo Finance

Derive V3 Options is the options market of Derive V3, the latest version of the self-custodial derivatives exchange formerly known as Lyra. V3 runs on a zkVM exchange that settles trades on Ethereum: orders are matched on a central limit order book while positions, margin and settlement stay verifiable on-chain. Traders can buy and sell European options on major crypto assets with portfolio margin shared across options, perpetuals and spot, and market makers quote directly into the book.

Ondo Finance tokenises U.S. Treasuries (OUSG) and short‑term corporate notes (USDY), letting DeFi users earn off‑chain yield without KYC for small tickets. Redemptions above $100k trigger regulated KYC/AML, and tokens are soul‑bounded during the settlement window to comply with securities exemptions. OUSG is used as backing collateral for Flux’s RWA stablecoin and is integrated in Curve’s stableswap set.
