Bybit’s Wild New Move: U.S. Stocks and Commodities by End of Q2 2025!

by

Oh, you thought Bybit was just a crypto playground? Think again, darling. They’re about to throw U.S. stocks, commodities, and even those stock indices into the mix by the end of Q2 2025. I know, I know, who saw that coming? 🙄

So, Ben Zhou, the CEO of Bybit (yes, the guy who’s basically running the show), spilled the beans during a May 3 livestream. He casually announced that U.S. stocks, including some juicy ones like Apple, Microsoft, and MicroStrategy, along with some glamorous commodities like gold and oil, will soon be available to trade. All this goodness will be inside Bybit’s existing system. Isn’t that cute? 😎

And hold on, it gets better. These shiny new products will hook right into Bybit’s current setup, which already includes MetaTrader 5 (MT5) for leveraged gold trading. It’s like they’re building a shiny new house with all the best appliances, but somehow, the house is already standing. 🙄

Industry insiders are rolling their eyes and nodding knowingly because this move isn’t exactly *revolutionary*. Crypto exchanges and traditional finance are starting to mix like oil and water — except in this case, it actually works. You can almost hear the collective “I told you so” from the finance world. 👀

And here’s the kicker — Bybit’s newest move has them squaring off with platforms like Robinhood, which are already blending crypto and stocks like it’s their second job. Welcome to the ultimate *who’s doing what better* battle. 🔥

But wait, there’s more! Bybit isn’t just resting on its laurels (or whatever it is they do in Dubai). They’re *also* diving into the AI pool, using tools like CryptoLens and TradeGPT to give us all that “real-time market insight” we didn’t know we needed. Talk about a nice little cherry on top. 🍒

However, things haven’t exactly been all champagne and confetti for Bybit. Back in February, they had a teensy little security breach (no biggie, right?) where 500,000 ETH — worth a casual $1.5 billion — was stolen. It was *the* biggest crypto theft in history. Oopsie. 🤦‍♀️

Ben Zhou was quick to assure us all that our funds were safe, but in a shocker move, he later admitted that about 27.6% of the stolen assets just *vanished*. Poof. Gone. Now you see it, now you don’t. Don’t worry though, he still claims that the platform can cover those losses… somehow. 🙃
