Bybit has begun offering trading in U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds, giving eligible users access to more than 1,000 U.S.-listed securities, the company said. The range includes Apple, NVIDIA, Tesla, Micron Technology and the Invesco QQQ ETF, and the company says it serves more than 80 million users worldwide.
Users in permitted jurisdictions who complete the required identity verification can buy and sell the supported securities using USDC, according to the company. Orders are routed through Bybit's regulated brokerage infrastructure and executed through Alpaca, a U.S. self-clearing broker-dealer, which also holds the underlying securities in custody.
Bybit said fractional shares are available on eligible securities, that trading runs 24 hours a day across five days a week during U.S. pre-market, regular and after-hours sessions subject to product availability, and that no commission is charged on eligible purchases and sales. Cash dividends are converted from USD into USDC and credited to a user's Unified Trading Account, stock dividends are reflected in the position and stock splits are reflected in holdings. Voting rights are planned for a later phase.
The company described the addition as an expansion of its multi-asset platform, which already covers crypto spot and derivatives, traditional markets through its MT5 platform, tokenized equities and TradFi perpetuals. Co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou said stocks are part of the platform's evolution and that financial markets have been separated across products and platforms, while Alpaca co-founder and CEO Yoshi Yokokawa said the partnership would support broader access to global markets.
