Bybit Unveils TradFi Trading on App : Gold, Stocks, and Forex

June 13, 2025 — Trade Apple, Tesla, Gold, and More. Bybit, the world’s second-largest crypto exchange by volume, has officially entered the TradFi world. In a landmark update to its mobile app, users can now trade traditional assets like gold, U.S. stocks, indices, and forex pairs, all directly from within the Bybit platform—no third-party apps required.

Announced by CEO Ben Zhou on X, this update positions Bybit as a one-stop trading hub, merging crypto and legacy finance in a unified interface. The expansion enhances accessibility for millions of traders, both crypto-native and TradFi curious, amid growing demand for multi-asset portfolios in a volatile macro environment.

What’s Now Available?

On ByBit Through the “Trade” and “TradFi” tabs in the app, users can access:

• Top U.S. Stocks: Apple, Tesla, Amazon, and more
• Precious Metals: Gold and silver
• Commodities: Oil and energy products
• Major Indices: Like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq
• Forex Pairs: USD/JPY, EUR/USD, and others

All assets are paired with USDT, streamlining transitions between crypto and traditional asset classes.

Powered by CFDs and Institutional Support

Bybit’s expansion into TradFi is backed by a contract-for-difference (CFD) model—enabling users to speculate on price movements without owning the actual assets. This model offers:

• Leverage up to 500x, ideal for experienced traders
• No need for separate brokerage accounts
• Unified balance management across asset classes

This initiative builds on Bybit’s record-breaking MT5 launch, which saw $24 billion in gold volume in a single day earlier this year.

“Whether hedging with gold or speculating on stocks, Bybit users can now do it all in one place.”
— Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit

Incentives and Launch Offer

To celebrate, Bybit is offering a limited-time 50% discount on trading fees for stock trades via the Gold & FX tab until June 15, 2025. The promotion is designed to onboard new users into TradFi markets with ease.

Bybit’s strategic partnership with Imrat Group, an international hedge fund, reinforces the exchange’s institutional-grade infrastructure and commitment to broadening access to financial tools.

A Game-Changer for Traders?

This move blurs the lines between crypto and Wall Street:

• Crypto traders can diversify into gold or tech stocks without leaving the platform
• TradFi users can explore crypto alongside their traditional positions
• All trades remain in USDT—removing the hassle of fiat on-ramps

With gold predicted to reach $4,000/oz in 2025, this integration comes at a time when safe-haven demand is spiking.
