Entity matched; identifier scope below ·

Deriv (BVI) Ltd

BVI FSC lists Deriv (BVI) Ltd as currently regulated for dealing as principal. This page has no licence number; the company match must not be mistaken for verification of an identifier.

Source disagreement — unresolved ·

Deriv (FX) Ltd / Deriv Investment Bank (Labuan) Ltd

Deriv's page still names Deriv (FX) Ltd. Its linked certificate records a rename to Deriv Investment Bank (Labuan) Ltd on 4 December 2025, company LL13394. This is a name-change certificate, not a financial licence; current licensing remains unresolved.

Sources and scope

Client-protection evidence ·
