Bybit Unleashes 24/7 US Equity Access with Revolutionary Perpetual Options

Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has announced plans to launch Perpetual Options on September 17, 2026. This new product will provide traders with 24/7 access to US equity markets through Bybit's perpetual options contracts.

The integration of Bybit Perp Options with the Unified Trading Account (UTA) enables users to hold perpetuals, options, and spot positions within a single account and settle in USDT. Traders will have access to advanced trading strategies such as buying/selling naked options, spreads, straddles, and combination trades.

Bybit Perp Options contracts are European-style and cash-settled, reducing early assignment risk. Portfolio Margin aid will permit positions in Perp Options to be cross-offset against related perpetual and spot holdings, minimizing collective margin requirements while traders manage risk across asset classes.
