Bybit is building The New Financial Platform to bridge crypto and traditional finance, expanding market access, product depth, and infrastructure for global markets.

Security and regulatory moves in 2026 include intercepting more than 30,000 suspicious withdrawal requests in the first half and securing five new licenses across the EU, Cayman Islands, Indonesia, South Africa, and El Salvador, potentially saving users over $700 million.

In June, Bybit rolled out IPO Express, letting eligible users access select IPO opportunities at offering prices via tokenized representations, starting with SpaceX and expanding from secondary trading to certain primary-market opportunities.

mStocks, a tokenized stock product developed with Mantle, is slated for a November launch, offering 1:1 backing by real stocks, 24/7 conversion between stocks and mStocks, and integration with Bybit’s Unified Trading Account for collateral, with potential AMM liquidity trading via Mantle.

Four years after expanding into traditional finance with CFDs, Bybit has grown into the largest crypto CFD platform, and on October 12 began stock trading for eligible users, giving access to more than 1,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs with USDC, fractional shares, and around-the-clock market access.

A CEO statement emphasizes speed, scale, and the integration of trading, investing, payments, and AI to empower people to Make Your Move.

Bybit launched Bybit AI in September as a conversational assistant for trading, account management, and customer support, with plans to expand its use across the platform’s financial services.

Bybit expanded payments infrastructure with Bybit Pay and Bybit Card, enabling crypto and fiat transfers, merchant payments, and everyday spending across 5,000+ merchants in 15+ countries, with transfers to bank accounts and e-wallets and QR payments; over 4 million Bybit Cards issued.

The platform now covers over 600 products across equities, ETFs, indices, commodities, and FX, with TradFi perpetuals reaching over $180 billion in trading volume and recent additions like Forex Perps and Perp Options; AI-linked perpetuals and commodity-linked products are being developed.

CEO Ben Zhou outlines a progression from a crypto exchange to The New Financial Platform, detailing new products, partnerships, and broader market ambitions.
