Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has introduced several promotional initiatives and trading tools centered around stablecoins and traditional finance (TradFi) products.

In July 2026, the exchange launched the RLUSD Hold & Earn program to increase liquidity for Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin, alongside a US$1 million trading competition tied to the U.S. corporate earnings season. This competition focused on stock-linked products, including derivatives and tokenized equities.

By August 2026, Bybit expanded its offerings with the TradFi Trading Tools Arena. This event, featuring a 100,000 USDT prize pool, emphasizes automated bot-trading and copy-trading services. The platform provides CFD trading for over 500 assets, including major technology stocks, commodities, and forex, all accessible via USDT-denominated accounts.
