What happened
Bybit announced the launch of stock and ETF trading on October 12, giving eligible users access to more than 1,000 US securities directly from their existing crypto accounts. The service connects USDC stablecoin balances with underlying securities, blending cryptocurrency and conventional investment trading within a single interface.
Initial offerings include major US companies Apple, Nvidia, Tesla and Micron Technology, along with the Invesco QQQ ETF. Users can purchase fractional shares using USDC and access trading across US premarket, regular and after-hours sessions.
Bybit partners with Alpaca to handle trade execution and custody. Alpaca Securities LLC, a US broker-dealer and FINRA member, executes orders and holds assets in custody, while Bybit routes orders through its brokerage infrastructure.
The service charges zero commissions on eligible purchases and sales. Trades are available 24 hours a day, five days a week. Cash dividends are converted from US dollars into USDC and credited to user accounts, while stock dividends and splits adjust holdings automatically.
Why it matters
Bybit co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou framed the expansion as part of the exchange's effort to consolidate financial markets on a single platform. Zhou said the move gives people broader access to financial markets and greater freedom to pursue opportunities by bringing traditional and digital assets together under one login.
The launch reflects a broader shift in crypto exchanges integrating conventional securities. Kraken launched commission-free trading in more than 11,000 US stocks and ETFs in April 2025, establishing a pattern of crypto platforms expanding into traditional equities. Bybit previously added stock derivatives and forex access through MetaTrader 5 in 2025.
Background
Bybit serves more than 80 million users worldwide and already offered cryptocurrency spot and derivatives trading before this expansion. The exchange's move into stocks follows earlier introductions of stock derivatives, foreign exchange and commodities access.
