Bybit Brings Crypto-Style Trading to Stock Options

Bybit is expanding its equity exposure offerings beyond traditional stock options, introducing Perp Options on perpetual contracts for SpaceX and Nvidia shares. The new products will be available starting September 17 at 8 p.m. UTC and will trade 24/7, settling in USDT.

The key features of Bybit's Perp Options include continuous trading hours, fractional lot sizes, and USDT settlement. This structure combines the best of both worlds: the flexibility of crypto derivatives with the equity exposure of stock options.

Bybit is removing two constraints built into traditional options: the need for a 100-share minimum contract size and the limitation to established exchange sessions. The new products will allow traders to take fractional-sized exposure without these limitations, changing the capital requirement for high-priced or volatile underlyings.
