Bybit Gamifies Trading Bots to Bridge TradFi and DeFi

Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has introduced a new event titled "Airdrop Frenzy Wednesday" as part of its ongoing "UNLOCK THE BOTVERSE" initiative. This enhancement builds upon its previous $250,000 trading bot event and aims to further engage its user base with a dual-pool structure that rewards both Bot Card collection and point accumulation. The event is active through October 6, 2025, and is designed to encourage trading bot usage across multiple strategies.

Participants can collect exclusive Bot Cards by engaging in trading activities. Each of the five available cards corresponds to a specific bot type: Futures Grid, Futures Martingale, Futures Combo, Spot Grid, and DCA. Collecting all five cards grants additional lucky draw entries, enhancing participants' chances of winning. Trading volume requirements vary by bot type, with Futures Grid, Futures Martingale, and Futures Combo requiring $10,000 in volume, while Spot Grid and DCA require $2,000.

In addition to collecting Bot Cards, users can earn points by fulfilling a variety of trading and advanced tasks. These include bot trading volume, daily total equity, number of bots created, and the number of trades executed, with each task contributing to a total points cap of 302,073,000. Advanced tasks such as enabling Trailing Up & Down and Trailing Stop provide additional one-time point bonuses. Rewards are distributed proportionally based on each participant’s share of the total qualified points.

The event includes a total prize pool of $50,000 in lucky draw rewards and up to $200,000 in point task rewards. To qualify, participants must register during the event period, accumulate at least 50,000 points, and complete Bybit’s Individual Identity Verification Level 1 or Business Verification. Notably, institutional users, market makers, and participants from restricted countries are excluded from the competition.

Bybit’s latest initiative reflects its broader strategy to enhance user engagement and drive innovation within the Web3 ecosystem. As part of this effort, the exchange has also celebrated the first anniversary of bbSOL, its liquid staking token on the Solana blockchain. The token has been marked by significant growth and adoption, highlighting the increasing integration of exchange-backed solutions in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape.

This dual-pool structure is expected to further incentivize user participation and promote the adoption of automated trading strategies, aligning with Bybit’s mission to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The platform continues to expand its offerings and partnerships within the blockchain industry, reinforcing its position as a key player in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market.
