Bybit becomes the first major CEX to enable trading of gold, forex, global indices, stocks CFDs, and commodities in one app.
DUBAI, UAE, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to introduce Bybit TradFi, marking another milestone in the crypto-native platform's evolution toward becoming a comprehensive financial destination that serves all customer needs.
Bybit TradFi makes history as the first and only major crypto exchange offering trading access to the world's five largest markets: Gold, Indices, Commodities, Forex, and Stocks CFDs — all these are now directly tradeable on the Bybit app, eliminating the need for additional MT5 software installation.
Bybit's move signals emerging financial service providers' foray into traditional finance, bringing competitive product suites and digital asset capabilities into conventional markets with some of the world's deepest liquidity. Bybit TradFi empowers the new generation of traders to diversify their assets with the minimum number of intermediaries:
- Unified Trading Experience: Traders can access both traditional and crypto markets from a single account and crypto wallet, allowing them to capitalize on potential opportunities regardless of market conditions.
- Global Market Access: Beyond gold and forex, Bybit TradFi connects traders directly to major asset classes worldwide without the usual barriers or complex processes, enabling users to trade 78 leading stock CFDs via Bybit, including FAANG stocks such as $AAPL, $AMZN, $TSLA, and $GOOG, to name a few.
- Cross-Market Positioning: While crypto captures headlines, traditional markets are equally dynamic. Traders may now position strategically across multiple asset classes to maximize their trading potential and recalibrate risk exposure.
- Two-Way Diversification: Crypto-focused traders can now seamlessly integrate traditional assets into their portfolios, using institutional-grade tools designed for today's interconnected markets. The new feature also gives traders of equities and other traditional asset classes a reason to venture into crypto assets all in one app.
Since its transition from an ultra-fast trading platform for professional traders in 2018, Bybit has built its presence across the crypto landscape with a wide range of innovative products and services. Bybit TradFi evolved from Bybit's popular Gold & FX service, which recorded its highest daily trading volume of over $24 billion on 17 April, 2025, shortly after its initial launch. The latest addition stands to unlock broader market access for over 70 million retail and institutional customers.
Bybit TradFi addresses the growing demand from crypto traders seeking portfolio diversification across global markets. With traditional financial markets experiencing increased volatility alongside crypto, it provides traders with the tools to leverage opportunities across all asset classes from a single, familiar interface.
"Investors are looking for opportunities, and some legacy barriers between emerging and traditional financial markets are only artificial. Bybit TradFi represents our commitment to breaking down these walls," said Ben Zhou, CEO and Co-founder of Bybit. "We're giving our users essential tools they need to diversify and navigate macro factors across major asset classes, all within the Bybit platform they already know and trust."
From now until June 23, 2025, eligible Bybit TradFi users may enjoy a 50% discount on trading fees for stock CFD transactions. Creating a TradFi account is simple: Bybit TradFi: How to trade gold, stocks, FX & more on the Bybit App. Terms and conditions apply.
Bybit TradFi is powered by Infra Capital (Mauritius FSC licensed). The service is now available to eligible users through the Bybit app. Bybit TradFi is not available to residents of the European Economic Area, among other restrictions. For details of regional limitations, terms and conditions, and user eligibility, users may visit Bybit TradFi. Trading comes with risk.

Introducing Bybit TradFi: Trading the World on Bybit
New integration connects institutional algos, block trading and retail distribution to Kalshi's prediction and perpetual markets
NEW YORK, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Talos, the premier provider of institutional digital asset infrastructure, technology and data supporting the full investment lifecycle, today announced an integration with Kalshi, the next-generation financial exchange. Using the same Talos interface used to trade digital assets today, select institutional clients will be able to trade Kalshi's event contracts and crypto perpetuals with no separate integration required.
Prediction markets and US-onshore perpetuals are emerging as important institutional markets and require institutional-grade tools to support participation. Kalshi's regulated clearing structure gives institutions a similar framework they use in traditional options and futures markets. Talos is launching two major capabilities to bring familiar tooling to their workflows.
For on-exchange trading, clients such as market makers and hedge funds have access to the Talos algo trading suite, including Iceberg, Pegged, Sniper, TWAP and POV, designed to work orders while minimizing market impact. Talos's multi-leg execution suite extends this to spread trading: clients can construct perp-to-perp and perp-to-spot spreads within a single order, supporting basis and funding-rate arbitrage strategies as onshore perpetuals scale. Talos intends to support prediction-market-to-perpetual multi-leg spreads in the future.
In parallel, the Talos RFQ (request-for-quote) platform, the same system Talos's ETF issuer clients use for create/redeem workflows, will provide a block trading interface for trading large sizes off-exchange, connecting to Talos's network of OTC liquidity providers.
"As institutional interest in prediction markets accelerates, Kalshi's regulatory standing as a CFTC-regulated exchange makes it a natural venue for that demand," said Andy Ross, Head of Institutional at Kalshi. "Working with Talos gives our institutional buy-side and sell-side participants a path to Kalshi that fits inside the infrastructure they already run."
"Kalshi has established a regulated structure to unlock US institutional participation in perpetuals and prediction markets," said Anton Katz, CEO and Co-founder of Talos. "Trading is moving to 24/7, prediction use cases are growing rapidly, and every asset class is migrating to digital rails. We believe these trends will fundamentally change how risk is priced, hedged and settled across the market, and Talos is building for that future."
Cantor, the global investment bank within the Cantor Fitzgerald group of companies, advised Talos on aspects of the build-out of its institutional prediction markets functionality. "Prediction markets are emerging into a credible institutional asset class, and firms that engage early will help shape the market structure, liquidity and execution standards that underpin its growth. Cantor looks forward to working closely with Talos to advance institutional access to prediction markets," said Matt DeCicco, Managing Director, Head of Digital Assets for Global Markets at Cantor.
Beyond institutional trading, Talos plans to extend its dealer software solution enabling brokers and trading platforms to offer Kalshi event contracts directly to their own end customers, depending on jurisdiction, later this year.
Talos also plans to offer a harmonized market data feed across prediction market venues, unifying events, trades, order books, open interest and implied probabilities under a single schema. Since venues represent binary outcomes differently, including Kalshi's single market with two sides against other venues' separate outcome tokens, comparing data across platforms today typically requires reconciling formats. Talos's prediction markets data will be delivered through the same API clients already use for crypto market data. Talos anticipates Kalshi will be among the first venues supported.
About Talos
Talos provides institutional-grade technology and data that supports the full digital asset investment lifecycle, including liquidity sourcing, price discovery, trading, settlement and portfolio management. Engineered by a team with unmatched experience building institutional trading, portfolio and data systems, the Talos platform connects institutions to key providers in the digital asset ecosystem — exchanges, OTC desks, prime brokers, lenders, custodians and more — through a single interface.

Talos Disclaimer: Talos offers software-as-a-service products that provide connectivity tools for institutional clients. Talos does not provide clients with any pre-negotiated arrangements with liquidity providers or other parties. Clients are required to independently negotiate arrangements with liquidity providers and other parties bilaterally. Talos is not party to any of these arrangements. Services and venues may not be available in all jurisdictions.
About Kalshi
Founded in 2018, Kalshi is the world's next-generation financial exchange. Prediction markets provide accurate, real-time information on the likelihood of events, making humanity more informed about the future. As the first regulated exchange for events, Kalshi is credited with legalizing and establishing prediction markets as a financial asset class. It's the leading safe and regulated platform, trusted by millions of people and a growing number of institutions in America. To learn more about Kalshi, visit www.kalshi.com.
