Bybit Launches Global Crypto Education Fund With 15+ Regions

Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has launched the Bybit Rising Fund, a corporate social responsibility initiative aimed at transforming how blockchain and cryptocurrency education is delivered globally [1]. As part of the World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2025 under the theme “Rewrite & Reshape,” the initiative marks a shift from short-term charitable donations to sustainable, education-focused programs designed to foster long-term community engagement and development [2].

The Bybit Rising Fund spans 15+ geographies across four continents, including regions in Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and Europe. Unlike traditional CSR models, the fund decentralizes control by allowing each region to co-create and fund educational initiatives such as scholarships, hackathons, and local bootcamps. This approach ensures programs are tailored to the unique needs and contexts of each community [1].

The initiative includes a range of educational offerings, such as blockchain bootcamps for entry-level participants, beginner-focused courses to simplify complex concepts, and scholarship-backed support for underserved communities. Collaborative hackathons are also a core component, uniting developers, researchers, and creators to explore real-world applications of blockchain technology [1].

Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit, emphasized the initiative’s strategic purpose. “Through strategic partnerships, Bybit creates lasting value, positioning crypto as a force for real-world utility and social mobility,” Zhou stated [1]. This aligns with Bybit’s broader mission to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), empowering a diverse range of users to engage with Web3 technologies.

The World Series of Trading (WSOT) has long been a platform for Bybit to engage its global community. For the first time in WSOT history, the prize pool will directly fund educational programs, enabling local taskforces to shape blockchain-enabled futures that reflect their communities' realities [1]. This decentralized model strengthens ownership and ensures that the programs are sustainable and locally relevant.

Bybit, with a user base of over 70 million, is leveraging its global reach to drive innovation and educational access in the blockchain sector. The initiative reflects the company’s commitment to fostering inclusivity and long-term value in the crypto ecosystem. More details, including eligibility criteria and program rules, can be found on the official WSOT 2025 website [1].
