Mars Finance News, on May 4th, Bybit co-founder Ben Zhou announced a major upgrade: the platform will open direct trading functions for stocks, indices, gold, and crude oil before the end of this quarter.
Product Expansion: Cryptocurrency exchange first integrates four core asset classes of traditional financial markets
Launch Timeline: Clearly promised to complete deployment before the end of Q3 (no later than September 30th)
Strategic Intent: Breaking the boundaries between crypto and traditional asset trading, building a comprehensive trading platform
Industry Impact: This move may trigger follow-up actions from competitors like Coinbase and OKX, accelerating the "all-asset" competition trend among exchanges. It is worth noting that Bybit has previously provided traditional asset exposure through ETF products, and this direct operation mode will significantly improve capital efficiency.
