From Bitcoin to Big Tech: Bybit Rolls Out Hybrid Finance Platform

On June 16, 2025, Bybit introduced a groundbreaking TradFi platform aimed at bridging the gap between cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets. This integrated trading solution enables users to access a wide range of asset classes—including gold, forex, commodities, global indices, and 78 leading stock CFDs like Apple, Tesla, Amazon, and Google—all within the Bybit interface. Traders can now utilize USDT to trade across both crypto and traditional markets, eliminating the need for fiat onramps or third-party tools like MetaTrader 5.

This expansion is part of Bybit’s long-term strategy to become a hybrid financial hub. Licensed under Mauritius’ Financial Services Commission through Infra Capital, the platform allows users to engage in multi-asset trading using their existing crypto wallets, simplifying the transition between asset classes. According to co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou, the launch reflects Bybit’s vision to dismantle artificial boundaries between crypto and TradFi, creating a seamless investment experience across all market types.

Bybit’s move builds on the momentum of its earlier Gold & Forex pilot, which hit a daily trading volume peak of $24 billion in April 2025. To promote early adoption, Bybit is offering a 50% fee discount on stock CFD trades until June 23, 2025. The service is available globally—except in restricted regions like the European Economic Area—and supports over 70 million users.

With plans to incorporate treasury instruments, DeFi integrations, advanced wallet tools, and a Web3 rewards system, Bybit’s TradFi initiative signals its shift toward a comprehensive, crypto-native trading platform. By seamlessly combining digital assets with legacy financial products, Bybit is redefining the trading landscape and positioning itself as a next-generation global financial gateway.
