Overview

  • Bybit will deepen USDC liquidity on its spot and derivatives venues to support faster, more efficient trading for retail and institutional users.
  • Circle will supply fiat on- and off-ramp infrastructure to streamline deposits and withdrawals in key markets and to broaden cross-chain support for USDC.
  • USDC integration will extend across Bybit Earn for savings, Bybit Card for cashback rewards, and Bybit Pay for everyday transactions.
  • Bybit highlights recent regulatory progress, including a UAE Securities and Commodities Authority Virtual Asset Platform Operator License and expanded oversight in the EEA and Turkey.
