Bybit rolls out $500,000 interest-free loans for institutional traders

Bybit has launched interest-free loans of up to $500,000 for institutional traders, aiming to deepen liquidity and attract professional market participants. The program is designed to lower trading costs for institutions, which could intensify competition among exchanges vying for the same client base. By removing interest expenses on borrowed capital, Bybit hopes to differentiate itself and drive higher volumes on its platform. The move reflects a broader push by crypto exchanges to tailor products for institutional clients as that segment grows. Market watchers will be looking at whether rival venues match the offer and whether the loans translate into measurable gains in trading activity and liquidity on Bybit.
