Bybit Unveils Industry-First Perp Options for Round-the-Clock US Equity Trading

Bybit, a leading cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is set to launch Perp Options on September 17, 2026. This new product will allow traders to access US equity options 24/7 directly from their existing Bybit accounts, funded with USDT.

The launch marks the first time that options contracts have been built on TradFi perpetuals, giving traders a new level of flexibility and freedom in managing their positions.

'Traders today don't think in terms of crypto versus traditional markets anymore, they want access to opportunities across markets and geographies. Bybit's Perp Options gives them one account to trade across the artificial divide of asset classes,' said Mike Xue, Head of Bybit Option Business.
