Bybit Expands Into Forex With New Perpetual Contracts

The new offerings track spot exchange rates without an expiration date, enabling continuous market exposure. By integrating these contracts into its Unified Trading Account, Bybit provides traders with the ability to manage FX positions around the clock. This feature allows users to react to macroeconomic shifts, central bank policy announcements, and geopolitical events even when traditional banking markets are closed for the weekend.

This expansion builds upon the TradFi Perpetuals suite Bybit introduced in April 2026, which currently features over 200 assets, including global equities and commodities. By utilizing crypto-native mechanics such as dynamic leverage and funding rates, the platform aims to provide a hedging mechanism for investors looking to protect portfolio gains against currency volatility. With daily turnover in global over-the-counter FX markets reaching $9.6 trillion as of April 2025, the addition of these pairs targets a massive addressable market. Bybit cautions that these leveraged instruments carry liquidation risks and are designed specifically for traders experienced in margin-based derivatives.
