Bybit launch of equity-linked perpetual options

Overview

Bybit has announced the launch of ‘Perp Options’, a new derivatives product designed to allow 24/7 trading of US equity-linked options using USDT-funded accounts. The exchange describes the product as the industry’s first options contracts built on traditional finance perpetuals.

Scheduled to go live on September 17, 2026, the initial phase will feature SpaceX (SPCX) and Nvidia (NVDA) as the underlying assets. These European-style, cash-settled contracts will support fractional lot sizes, providing more flexibility than traditional 100-share requirements.

The product will integrate with Bybit’s Unified Trading Account and Portfolio Margin systems, enabling traders to manage spot, futures, and options positions within a single margin account to facilitate cross-hedging and risk management. Future expansions may include assets such as Tesla, QQQ, SOXL, and Micron.
