Bybit Expands Pre-IPO Perpetual Contracts to Unitree and Moonshot AI

Bybit, a Dubai-based crypto exchange, has expanded its pre-IPO perpetual contracts lineup by adding Unitree and Moonshot AI.

The USDT-denominated and settled contracts give traders price exposure to these companies without requiring ownership of their underlying shares.

This move is part of Bybit's push into private-market trading, which includes over 200 products since launching in April.

Unitree, a Chinese robotics firm, received approval from China's securities regulator for an initial public offering on Shanghai's STAR Market in July.

The pre-IPO perpetual contracts are part of a broader trend among crypto exchanges to offer private-market products, with Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and others previously launching SpaceX-linked contracts ahead of its listing.
