Bybit launches USDC support on Arc Chain with zero trading fees and staking rewards.
DeFi & Yields ·
Bybit has integrated USDC deposits and withdrawals on Arc Chain, launching a trio of promotional events to mark the rollout. The platform will absorb all network and transaction costs for Arc Chain USDC withdrawals beginning September 17, 2026, with a minimum withdrawal threshold of 2 USDC. A separate lucky draw running through October 16, 2026 offers a 110,000 USDC prize pool to users who deposit and trade specified pairs, while new users depositing at least 100 USDC receive 5 USDC outright, capped at 2,000 participants.
The staking component targets both new and existing users with a 5-day fixed-term earn product denominated in USDC. New users who deposit a minimum of 100 USDC via Arc Chain qualify for 200% APR, while standard retail users requiring at least 1,000 USDC receive 20% APR. Both tiers run concurrently with the lucky draw from September 17 through October 16, 2026.
The extent of Arc Chain's broader adoption remains unclear, as does whether competing platforms plan similar incentive structures. Bybit's commitment duration and any conditions for renewing the zero-fee withdrawal program after the prize pool depletes are not specified.
