Bybit launches TradFi Zone, a new feature integrating traditional finance products on the exchange.
Tech & Launches ·
Bybit launched its TradFi Zone on July 29, integrating traditional finance products directly into the exchange platform. The feature allows users to access stocks, ETFs, gold, oil, and other traditional assets alongside crypto contracts through a single account and unified USDT margin system, eliminating the need to open separate accounts or use external platforms.
The TradFi Zone rollout includes two core offerings: TradFi Perpetual Contracts, which settle in USDT and enable 24/7 trading of traditional assets within the existing Bybit account, and CFDs covering more than 400 instruments with up to 500x leverage available. Bybit also renamed its existing TradFi product line to "CFDs" and the associated account to "MT5 CFD Account," though the company stated that positions, leverage settings, and trading conditions remain unchanged under the new naming structure.
Bybit indicated the TradFi Zone represents an initial phase, with plans to introduce additional traditional asset classes in the future. The feature became available on the mobile app from July 29 and on the web interface from July 30, requiring app version 5.22.5 or later.
