Bybit plans to expand around-the-clock equity derivatives trading with perpetual options tied to SpaceX and Nvidia. The exchange will launch the contracts on September 17 at 8 p.m. UTC.
The move gives traders access to U.S. equity options beyond traditional market hours. It also introduces fractional trading and USDT settlement through Bybit’s Unified Trading Account.
SpaceX and Nvidia Lead Launch
The first phase will cover SPCX and NVDA perpetual options. Traders can buy or sell options without meeting the traditional 100-share contract requirement. Each contract uses a multiplier of one, allowing smaller positions and more flexible risk management.
Bybit will also offer spreads, straddles, covered calls, and more. Eligible positions will also be allowed to hedge each other out and possibly lower margin requirement with Portfolio Margin.
Moreover, traders can manage spot, futures, and options through one account. Consequently, users can build more complex strategies without moving funds between separate platforms.
More Equity Assets Planned
Bybit plans to add Tesla, QQQ, SOXL, and Micron among future underlying assets. The launch, therefore, may extend access to equity-linked derivatives to crypto-native traders.
However, the development also highlights growing competition between traditional equities and blockchain-based markets. Earlier, Ondo enabled tokenized stocks to serve as collateral for perpetual trading.
