Bybit Launches U.S. Stock and ETF Trading for Global Users
Crypto platform Bybit now offers access to 1,000+ U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, expanding its financial services for eligible users worldwide.
Bybit, the Dubai-based trading platform with more than 80 million registered users globally, has added U.S. equities to its suite of financial products, the company announced Oct. 12, 2026. Eligible users can now trade more than 1,000 U.S.-listed stocks and exchange-traded funds directly through the platform, including shares of major companies such as Apple.
The move marks a significant expansion for a platform that built its reputation primarily in cryptocurrency derivatives and spot trading.
