Bybit Expands TradFi Perpetuals With AI Stocks and ETFs

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

Bybit has expanded its TradFi perpetual contracts offering with seven new assets, adding exposure to major technology, AI-infrastructure, digital asset, and global ETF names. The latest additions include Oracle, Nvidia, Circle Internet Group, Micron Technology, Invesco QQQ Trust, iShares MSCI Japan ETF, and iShares MSCI South Korea ETF.

The rollout marks another step in Bybit’s push to bridge crypto-native trading infrastructure with traditional financial market exposure. Since launching TradFi perpetual contracts in April 2026, the exchange has continued adding new tickers weekly, with contracts quoted and settled in USDT and offering leverage of up to 10x, subject to eligibility and product restrictions.

What Did Bybit Add?

The new listings added on May 6–7 include:

Oracle (ORCL)
Nvidia Corp (NVDA) 
Circle Internet Group Inc. (CRCL) 
Micron Technology Inc. (MU)
Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)
iShares MSCI Japan ETF (EWJ)
iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY)

With the latest expansion, Bybit says its TradFi perpetuals now cover 20 US stocks, three commodities — gold, silver, and crude oil — and three global ETFs. That gives eligible users broader access to traditional market themes from one account, including semiconductors, large-cap technology, digital asset-linked equities, finance, commodities, and regional ETF exposure.

Investor Takeaway

Bybit is turning TradFi exposure into a crypto-style trading product. USDT-settled perpetuals allow users to trade traditional market themes with nonstop access and crypto-native settlement mechanics.

Why AI and Semiconductor Exposure Matter

The inclusion of Nvidia, Oracle, and Micron gives traders additional exposure to some of the most closely watched names tied to AI infrastructure, enterprise cloud adoption, and semiconductor demand. These sectors have become central to global market narratives, with traders increasingly looking for ways to express views on AI, data centers, memory chips, and cloud infrastructure.

Bybit’s existing TradFi perpetuals already included names across technology and semiconductor-adjacent themes, including TSM, Tesla, Meta, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Intel, and others. The latest additions deepen that coverage and make the product more relevant for traders following AI-led equity momentum.

This matters because crypto-native traders are increasingly looking beyond digital assets alone. Bitcoin and Ethereum may still dominate crypto market attention, but macro and equity themes now influence risk appetite across the entire trading landscape. A platform that lets users move between crypto and AI-linked equity exposure may have a stronger claim to being a cross-market trading hub.

ETF Perpetuals Add Regional and Index Exposure

Bybit also added exposure to QQQ, EWJ, and EWY, expanding the offering beyond single-stock contracts. QQQ gives traders access to a tech-heavy US index ETF proxy, while EWJ and EWY provide exposure to Japanese and South Korean equity markets.

That is strategically important. Single stocks are useful for targeted views, but ETFs allow traders to express broader regional or sector themes. Japan and South Korea are especially relevant in a market where semiconductor supply chains, currency moves, export trends, and regional equity flows are increasingly interconnected.

The ETF additions also make the product more useful for hedging and portfolio construction. Instead of trading only individual equities or crypto assets, users can build broader multi-asset exposures inside a single derivatives environment.

Investor Takeaway

ETF perpetuals broaden the use case from speculation on single names to regional exposure, hedging, and portfolio-style positioning across traditional markets.

Why 24/7 TradFi Access Is Becoming a Bigger Theme

Bybit’s TradFi perpetuals are designed to track traditional financial assets while trading through a crypto-style derivatives structure. The key selling point is access. Users can respond to market developments outside standard exchange hours, even when the underlying traditional market is closed.

That matters because market-moving events do not wait for the opening bell. Earnings developments, geopolitical headlines, macro data, central bank remarks, and crypto-led risk shifts can all affect sentiment before traditional exchanges reopen. Perpetual contracts give traders a way to act on those moves earlier.

This is part of a larger market trend. Crypto platforms, tokenized equity providers, and traditional exchanges are all experimenting with more continuous market access. Bybit’s weekly TradFi perpetual listings fit that direction, pushing traditional asset exposure closer to the always-on rhythm of digital asset markets.

How This Fits Bybit’s Broader Strategy

The expansion complements Bybit’s wider push into products that sit between traditional finance and crypto. The company now points to a product suite that includes Bybit TradFi, tokenized equities, RWA-backed Earn products, and TradFi asset perpetual contracts.

The broader message is clear: Bybit wants to be more than a crypto exchange. It wants to become a multi-market platform where users can access digital assets, traditional financial exposure, and hybrid products from one account.

Bybit says the TradFi service is powered by Infra Capital, which is licensed by the Mauritius FSC. The product is available only to eligible users and is subject to regional restrictions, including non-availability to residents of the European Economic Area.

Investor Takeaway

The bigger story is convergence. Bybit is using crypto-native infrastructure to provide exposure to traditional assets, reinforcing the idea that future trading platforms may be built around asset access rather than asset silos.

What Comes Next?

Bybit’s weekly listing cadence suggests the exchange plans to keep expanding its TradFi perpetuals universe. If the product gains traction, users may eventually expect broader coverage across more equities, ETFs, sectors, and regional themes.

The challenge will be balancing access with risk. TradFi perpetuals offer flexibility and nonstop trading, but they are still leveraged derivatives. Pricing, liquidity, funding mechanics, and eligibility restrictions will matter. Traders need to understand that 24/7 access does not remove market risk; it can also increase the temptation to overtrade.

Still, the direction is clear. Bybit is positioning itself at the intersection of crypto liquidity, traditional market demand, and always-on trading infrastructure. The latest listings strengthen that position by adding some of the most relevant equity and ETF themes in today’s market.
