There's good reason to believe anon derivative exchange are coming to an end. Rumors about bitmex enforcing kyc. im sure bybit will follow, pretty sure deribit will force it in january, here now.

I agree that's where things are headed long term. I'm hoping we get one more good bull market before regulators destroy everything.

Deribit is a separate case from other derivatives platforms because it's operated from the Netherlands. They are facing upcoming implementation of the 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive next month.

They may leave the Netherlands outright as a solution:

Deribit, an Amsterdam-based derivatives exchange, has even hinted at the possibility of exiting the Netherlands as AML/KYC requirements are placed on its exchange this coming January.

If we continue to operate in the Netherlands, we will need to have those things implemented, said CEO John Jansen in early October on the Flippening podcast on the coming Dutch interpretation of AMDL5.
