ByBit

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit

Trading derivatives is profitable for traders for two reasons. Transactions with futures contracts allow you to earn not only on the growth, but also on the decline in the price of cryptoassets. In such operations it is possible to use leverage, which increases the potential profit. Bybit cryptocurrency exchange was founded as a platform for transactions with digital futures. Later on, customers have other options, including spot trading and investing.

Baybit services

The main direction of operations on the Bybit platform is transactions with cryptocurrency futures. In addition, the company’s clients have access to such services:

• Purchasing coins for fiat.
• Trading cryptoassets on immediate delivery terms (spot trades).
• Investing in staking and liquidity pools.
• Earnings in affiliate and referral programs.
• Bybit Launchpad – investing in promising startups as part of IEO (initial token distribution through a centralized exchange).
• Crypto loans with high LTV and repayment at a convenient time.
• Copying trades of top traders.
• Launch of futures and spot grid-bots.

Features of the Bybit exchange

Initially, the trading platform specialized in derivatives transactions. This affected the functionality. Fiat transactions were not supported in the personal cabinet. It was possible to make a deposit only with cryptocurrency, and fiat was accepted through intermediary sites. In addition, the possibilities of exchange transactions were limited. The company did not provide leverage for cryptocurrency transactions.

By 2024, the platform has expanded its list of options. Among the features of the exchange:

• Support for fiat and cryptocurrencies. Transfer of assets between accounts.
• Margin trading on spot. The option is available through the Unified Trading Account.
• Attractive conditions for new clients. In particular, the company offers a bonus on the first deposit.
• Soft KYC (verification) policy. You don’t have to confirm your identity to access trading. Anonymous customers can withdraw up to 2 bitcoins per day.

At the same time, the exchange for online cryptocurrency trading Baybit in January 2024 remains one of the largest platforms for transactions with futures and open-ended derivative contracts. In particular, the average daily volume of transactions with Bitcoin derivatives exceeds $8.3 billion.

Histórico

The crypto platform was founded in March 2018 under the leadership of Chinese entrepreneur Ben Zhou. The main office of the company is located in Singapore. In the first years, the platform specialized exclusively in transactions with derivatives. At the same time, clients were attracted by the absence of a mandatory identity verification procedure.

The situation changed in July 2021. The option of spot trading appeared on the crypto exchange. At the same time, under pressure from regulators, the management was forced to introduce the KYC procedure. In addition, by the end of 2022, the developers launched a built-in cryptocurrency wallet Web3.

Regulamentação

In April 2023, the company moved its headquarters from the British Virgin Islands to Dubai. Previously, the platform had been building a presence in the Middle East and North Africa for 12 months. In 2023, Bybit ranked 2nd in trading volume among 400 cryptocurrency companies in the UAE.

Dubai is one of the most progressive blockchain centers in the Middle East and the world. Loyal legislation has allowed Bybit to retain full functionality, while other major exchanges have had to limit capacity to a number of countries to comply with European and US regulators.

Criptomoedas disponíveis e pares de negociação populares

There are 399 coins traded on the spot market in January 2024. There are 493 pairs of assets available for trading. The main volume of transactions falls on such instruments:

• ETH/USDC – $475.22 million (26.35% of average daily turnover).
• BTC/USDC – $328.1 million (18.2% of the market).
• BTC/USDT – $242.61 million (13.45% of daily turnover).
• ETH/USDT – $92.46 million (5.13% of the market).
• SOL/USDT – $75.69 million (4.2% of deals per day).

In the review of Baybit exchange it should be emphasized that the main volume of transactions falls on Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetual contracts. In January 2024, the service ranks 2nd in terms of the activity of transactions with derivatives.

Token de troca

The platform’s ecosystem lacks an internal cryptocurrency used for settlements between traders. But in 2021, with the active participation of Bybit, a decentralized (DeFi) project BitDAO was launched. A key role in the ecosystem of the organization is played by the native (service) token BIT. In November 2021, this cryptocurrency was in the top 100 of the Crypto.ru ranking with a capitalization of about $1.5 billion.

In July 2023, BitDAO was renamed to Mantle. Holders were able to convert BIT tokens in an exchange account to MNT at a 1:1 ratio.

In January 2024, Mantle is ranked 46th in the global capitalization ranking with a $1.95 billion market cap.

Tipos de pedidos

Traders can leave 3 types of orders:

• Marketable. Executed immediately at the current price.
• Limit. The order is entered into the order book and awaits a counter-offer to exchange at the rate set by the trader.
• Conditional. The user specifies a trigger price. As soon as the quotes reach the specified level, the order is activated and executed as a market or limit order. This type of transaction is identical to Stop Market and Stop Limit operations used on other trading platforms.

Working conditions

Trading on Baybit is available to all adult users, except for residents of prohibited jurisdictions. In 2024, registration is closed for visitors from the United States, mainland China, Singapore, Quebec Province (Canada), North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Sudan, as well as Crimea and Sevastopol.

The peculiarity of the crypto platform is the fixed rates of commissions for trading operations. The fees do not depend on the number and volume of transactions. The difference in the size of the commission is related only to the type of order used.

Traders who trade using limit orders are called makers. They are charged a lower commission compared to takers (users who use market orders). Derivatives trading has a negative limit order fee.

Aplicativo móvel

Crypto traders and investors have access to the services through a program compatible with iOS and Android operating systems. To install the mobile application you need to:

1. Visit the official website of Baybit Exchange and click on the phone button in the upper right corner of the screen.
2. Scan the QR code on your mobile device to go to the app store.
3. Install the program and authorize in the personal cabinet.

Bônus

Bybit offers rewards for new users. There are many bonus programs available in January 2024. Some of them are in the table.

Trading on Bybit

The Baybit platform has 2 sections for buying and selling cryptoassets. Users can choose between:

• “Spot” – designed for the exchange of tokens and coins.
• “Derivatives” – includes futures and perpetual contracts.

In addition, users have the option of buying cryptocurrency for fiat. It is possible to conduct transactions through intermediary sites and P2P platform.

Negociação à vista

The main direction of operations on the platform is the exchange of tokens and koins for Tether stablecoin. USDT is the underlying asset for most trading pairs. This means that the trader does not have the opportunity to directly exchange individual cryptocurrencies. For example, to buy Solana coin for Bitcoin you need to:

1. Deposit bitcoins.
2. Exchange Bitcoin to USDT.
3. Buy Solana for Tether.

In this case, a trader trading market orders has to pay the taker’s commission twice. The second feature of Bybit is the absence of margin trading. Only personal capital can be used in transactions.

P2P

In January 2022, the company launched a peer-to-peer platform. At first, users could only buy Tether for fiat. Then the list of cryptocurrencies was expanded to include BTC, ETH, USDC. You can pay for tokens from debit/credit cards, via electronic and bank transfer systems, as well as cash. To do this, you need:

1. Go to Buy Cryptocurrency – P2P Trading.
2. In the search menu, select the direction of exchange, the amount and the desired payment method.
3. Find a suitable application in the list and click on the “Buy USDT” (or other coin) button.
4. Specify the exact amount of the transaction.
5. Pay the request with fiat or wait for the counterparty to complete this action.
6. Send tokens to the other side.

Verified clients can create requests to exchange cryptoassets. In this case, the trader independently specifies payment methods and transaction limits.

Derivativos

Is available on Bybit:

• Inverse futures on Bitcoin and Ethereum. These contracts stipulate the obligation of the parties to exchange at a specified time. The term “inverse” means that the collateral currency of the contract is the traded coin (BTC or ETH). Profits from the transaction will be paid in bitcoins, not Tether.
• Straight and inverse open-ended contracts. Unlike futures, they have no expiration date. The transaction can be closed by the holder at any time he/she wishes.

For derivatives transactions, crypto traders have access to leverage up to 100x. But beginners should remember that futures and contracts are different from regular spot transactions. Therefore, before using leverage, you should carefully study the terms and conditions, especially in terms of calculating margin and closing positions.

Futuros

In November 2024, Bitcoin and Ethereum contracts are being traded on Bybit with expiry in 1 or 4 months. This means that the trader buys cryptocurrency at the current price, but the delivery of tokens or coins must take place in the future. Since transactions on the platform are conducted to make money on the difference in exchange rates rather than the actual acquisition of assets, no BTC or ETH is transferred to the buyer during the expiration. At this point, the price of Bitcoin or Ethereum is compared to the quotes at which the contract was concluded. If the exchange rate difference is in favor of the buyer, he is credited with profit.

Indefinite contracts

The disadvantage of traditional futures is that the settlement is tied to the expiration date. Quotes of tokens and coins are characterized by sharp fluctuations. In a few hours, the price of cryptoassets can temporarily increase or decrease. If this happens on the day the contract closes, the trader will undeservedly receive a loss.

Perpetual derivatives are devoid of this disadvantage. Their terms do not specify the term of settlement between the seller and the buyer. The trader can close the transaction at any time. Even if cryptocurrency quotes have changed to the disadvantage of the holder, there is a chance of a trend reversal and profit in the future.

Buying cryptocurrency with fiat

At the beginning of 2024, the exchange supports direct payments from cards and via Advcash EPS. To purchase BTC and altcoins for fiat, you need:

1. Authorize on Bybit.
2. Go to Bybit Fiat by clicking on the “Buy Cryptocurrency” button at the top of the main menu.
3. Choose an exchange direction and payment method.
4. Go to the service and deposit fiat to the specified details.
5. Wait for tokens and koins to be credited to the deposit.

KYC is a mandatory procedure at Bybit in January 2024. Therefore, customers should prepare a package of documents in advance to confirm their identity.

Earning opportunities on Bybit

In addition to trading, crypto exchange Baybit offers a number of investment services. These include:

• Pisar.
• Dual-mining.
• Liquidity Pools.
• DeFi Mining.

To access investment offers, you should put your cursor over the “Banking” pop-up menu at the top of the screen. After that, you need to select Earn and then select the investment method.

New users should note that the term “mining” on Bybit does not refer to mining blocks in Bitcoin and other blockchains. In this case, the word means transferring assets to the liquidity pools of one of the decentralized platforms.

Steaking

Some blockchains use the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) algorithm to validate transactions. In this case, coin owners receive income from participating in the verification of transactions. Investing in staking on Bybit and other crypto exchanges does not always mean the automatic blocking of assets to confirm transactions. But in general, to earn money, the investor needs:

1. Deposit any suitable cryptocurrency.
2. Under Earn, select “Bybit savings” and go to the page with current offers.
3. Find the desired cryptoasset in the list.
4. Specify the amount of coins or tokens and click on the “Start” button.

The advantage of the Flexible Staking program is the ability to withdraw investments at any time. The accrued interest is not lost. The average rate of return depends on the cryptocurrency deposited:

Liquidity pools

Uniswap and similar protocols allow the exchange of cryptocurrencies without a single server. Unlike centralized exchanges, DEX-platforms perform transactions directly between users. But to exchange assets, the protocol developers must create liquidity pools where investors deposit tokens and coins. In return, their owners receive a percentage of DEX-exchange commissions.

Bybit liquidity mining allows you to earn in two ways:

• Supply of cryptocurrency to pools. Income is generated from swap commissions.
• Delivering liquidity to increase share in the pool, generate additional funds and increase revenue.

The pools work on the model of an updated AMM (automated market maker). Each of them supports a pair of coins.

Liquidity pools

Different investment products on Bybit differ not only in description, but also in characteristics, including the level of risk, investment lock-in period and potential profitability. Therefore, beginners should look not at the type of earning (mining, staking), but at the basic conditions when choosing an instrument. Each investment product is accompanied by a card that specifies the estimated yield, the cryptocurrency to be deposited and the term of the transaction.

Registro no site oficial

Only authorized users can make money on the platform. To create an account on the Bybit crypto exchange, you need to follow these steps:

1. On the home page, click on the “Registration” button.
2. Enter your e-mail address or phone number. Make up a password and specify a referral code (if available). Another way is to log in to the exchange using a Google or Apple account.
3. Confirm agreement with the service rules.
4. Click on the “Create Account” button.
5. Enter the verification code sent to your e-mail or phone.
6. Specify the level of training for trading. This option does not affect the list of available instruments. The platform collects information about beginners in order to help them with training.

Identity verification

Until July 2021, the crypto platform did not have a strict user verification (KYC) procedure. Anonymous traders could trade without restrictions. With Baybit seeking legal status in many countries, the rules have been tightened.

As of January 2024, KYC is a mandatory procedure on Bybit. To operate the service without restrictions, you need to:

1. Authorize on the official Bybit website and go to the account settings section.
2. Click on the “Pass” button on the “KYC Verification” line.
3. Enter personal data (full name, date of birth, passport or driver’s license details).
4. Scan the document.
5. Go through the facial recognition process.

After completing the first KYC level, the withdrawal limit will be increased to 50 BTC per day. In order to remove all restrictions, you should additionally confirm the registration address. To do this, you need to provide a certificate from the bank or another document that indicates the client’s place of residence.

Segurança e proteção da conta

To counteract account hacking, special measures are applied on the company’s website. In the “Account” section, you can activate the following security settings:

• 2FA-authentication by e-mail and SMS, Google Authenticator, YubiKey.
• Authorization log with IP addresses and types of devices from which the account was logged in.
• Phishing protection code.
• Financial password.
• White list of addresses for withdrawal.
• Sending funds to saved contacts.
• Blocking of withdrawal to a new address within 24 hours.

Autenticação de dois fatores

Password verification when logging in to a website does not provide 100% protection against hacking. To improve security, most crypto platforms use two-factor authentication (2FA). After entering the login and password, the client needs to additionally confirm authorization with:

• A one-time code from an SMS or email.
• Google Authenticator application.
• YubiKey code.

To select the 2FA method, go to the “Account and Security” section of the account settings menu. By default, two-factor authentication is performed by e-mail or phone number. But the most reliable method is considered to be logging in via the application.

Activating Google Authentication

Terminal de negociação

An identical interface is installed for spot and futures transactions. There are 6 parts in the terminal:

• Transaction History. It is located under the chart. In this section you can see the placed orders and previous transactions of the trader.

The level of transaction fees is a drawback of the crypto platform. In particular, as of November 2021, the withdrawal fee in bitcoins when converted to US dollars was about $29.

Beginning traders may have a small starting capital. Therefore, before registering and depositing money, you should check the current financial conditions. Otherwise, the client risks losing most of the profit during the withdrawal of crypto assets.
