Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has expanded its TradFi product suite to the web platform, marking a significant step in its strategy to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto markets. The move follows the initial launch of Bybit TradFi on its mobile app in June 2025 and aims to provide a seamless, unified trading experience for users across both crypto and traditional asset classes. Bybit TradFi now supports trading in gold, forex, commodities, indices, and stock CFDs-all denominated in USDT-and is accessible directly through the Bybit website[1].
The web platform's launch enhances usability with features like trading pair collections, global search, and a dedicated TradFi tab on the market page, ensuring a consistent experience across desktop and mobile. Bybit has also introduced 24/5 trading for 20 stock CFDs, including equities tied to tech giants like
, , and , as well as crypto-related firms such as and Circle[3]. This expansion aligns traditional assets with crypto's 24/7 trading model, addressing time-zone barriers and enabling continuous risk management for global users[5].To drive adoption, Bybit is waiving transaction fees on eligible stock CFDs and global indices until Nov. 22, 2025. The promotion covers major indices like CHINA50 and HK50, as well as equities such as
, , and AAPL. Additionally, the platform offers leverage of up to 500× and tight spreads, further appealing to traders seeking diversified exposure[1]. Bybit TradFi's equity listings now exceed 100, including recent additions like PSIX and DAVE, with position limits implemented to manage risk[4].The expansion is part of Bybit's broader regulatory and operational strategy. In October 2025, the exchange secured the UAE's first Virtual Asset Platform Operator License from the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), enabling it to offer regulated services including custody and fiat conversion[6]. This follows regulatory milestones in the EU (MiCAR compliance) and India, reinforcing Bybit's focus on jurisdictions that balance innovation with oversight. CEO Ben Zhou emphasized that the UAE's "forward-thinking regulatory framework" positions the exchange to deepen its global footprint while adhering to compliance standards[7].
Bybit's integration of TradFi and crypto markets reflects growing demand for cross-asset diversification. The platform's MT5 synchronization allows users to trade via MetaTrader 5 or the Bybit interface, offering flexibility without intermediaries[2]. With over 70 million users globally, Bybit aims to capitalize on macroeconomic volatility by providing tools that enable traders to hedge across asset classes. As traditional and crypto markets become increasingly interconnected, Bybit's expansion underscores its vision to redefine multi-asset trading in the digital age[8].
