Bybit launches RLUSD Hold & Earn program and $1M earnings‑season trading campaign

Bybit, the world’s second‑largest crypto exchange by trading volume, introduced a limited‑time RLUSD Hold & Earn offering that combines boosted annual percentage rates with zero maker fees on spot pairs involving Ripple’s dollar‑pegged stablecoin. The program aims to attract market makers and increase liquidity for RLUSD, a stablecoin still building depth in exchange order books.

At the same time, Bybit rolled out a six‑week trading competition tied to the U.S. corporate earnings season. Running from July 21 to August 30, 2026, the promotion features a US$1 million USDT prize pool for the top 200 traders who earn points by trading stock‑linked products such as spot markets, derivatives, and tokenised equities. Participants can boost points through daily tasks, volume milestones, earnings‑related predictions, and referrals, with extra bonuses for trading specific stock perpetual pairs like TSLA, GOOGL, META, AAPL and AMZN.

Both initiatives are designed to draw new users, increase order‑book depth, and expand Bybit’s presence in the tokenised‑equity and stablecoin‑yield markets.
