#7Up with Bybit: $2.5 Million in Seasonal Rewards
The Bybit #7Up celebration highlights the community's journey to grow, scale, and lift each other up together. From November 26, 2025, to January 6, 2026, eligible users traders can join in six themed prize pools throughout the holiday season until the final Blast Off in January 2026. Rewards are distributed based on community engagement and user achievement in three winning tracks:
- Non-Stop Rewards to End the Year: Six seasonal prize pools will be unlocked throughout the event period. Eligible users stand to win from six prize pools by reaching Mantle avatar levels. In each round throughout the holiday season, participants who successfully unlock new levels stand to win rewards from 2025 all the way to the new year.
- Grand Prize Leaderboard: Points accumulated during the event will help traders secure their top spots in the main leaderboard. The highest ranking 7,777 participants will get to share a large prize pool, with the best-performing participant entitled to the grand prize of $77,777.
- Lucky Draws - 100% Chance of Winning: Users can win Lucky Draw entries by completing a variety of designated tasks during the campaign period. Every draw guarantees a prize with rewards ranging from a minimum of 0.7 USDT up to 77 MNT for each entry.
Breaking Barriers: Regulatory Achievements Meet Innovation
Bybit's seventh year included significant progress on regulatory alignment, with Bybit EU officially obtaining the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR) license in Austria. This approval strengthens Bybit's commitment to compliance and long-term service to European users, providing a model for crypto assets regulation across the region.
In the UAE, Bybit became the first crypto exchange to secure a full Virtual Asset Platform Operator License from the UAE's Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), following an in-principle approval early in 2025. The recognition underscores Bybit's reputation for high standards in compliance, governance, and security, further positioning the UAE as a global leader in digital asset regulation.
Byreal, a Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) backed by Bybit was launched in October, accelerating the development of decentralized liquidity infrastructure. The platform has achieved remarkable traction in a short space of time, currently ranking No. 5 by 30-day fees and revenue on DefiLlama's Solana DEX rankings with over $869 million in cumulative trading volume. The platform has expanded partnerships to over 40 projects across real-world assets (RWA), AI, infrastructure, and DeFi, and supports 13 xStocks tokenized equities through its advanced execution layer.
In the past year, Bybit has enhanced Mantle's integration across its platform and deepened strategic alliance, fueling the rapid development and integration of advanced DeFi infrastructure. This partnership signals a new wave of blockchain innovation and positions Bybit at the forefront of growing access to sophisticated onchain tools for users and institutions alike.
2025 also marked crypto's first GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™: Bybit's flagship trading competition, the World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2025, made history by earning a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the most participants in an online trading competition within 24 hours, an industry-first and a manifestation of the power of the community.
Since its inception, Bybit has been committed to raising standards for performance, transparency, and user empowerment in the crypto and blockchain sector. The trust and loyalty of Bybit's global user base have inspired ongoing innovation and resilience through bulls and bears. The 7th anniversary stands out as a testament to the collaborative spirit and energy within the Bybit community.

Landmark cross-country handcycle journey highlights Trusted Thailand initiative and affirms the Kingdom as a secure and inclusive destination
BANGKOK, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), in partnership with AFS Thailand, celebrates the successful completion of Jimmy Pelletier World Tour Stage 5: Thailand, marking a 47-day cross-country journey that highlights the Kingdom's strong safety standards, inclusive tourism approach and readiness to welcome global travellers with confidence.
The Canadian Paralympian completed a handcycle route spanning more than 30 provinces across all regions of Thailand, the only Asian destination in his 13-stage global project. This milestone reinforces TAT's Trusted Thailand initiative, which advances traveller confidence through high safety standards, seamless facilitation and coordinated support across all sectors.
Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT Governor, said, "The success of Jimmy Pelletier's World Tour Stage 5 in Thailand reflects the strength of our Trusted Thailand initiative, demonstrating that the Kingdom is a safe, secure and inclusive destination where travellers can explore with confidence. Through nationwide collaboration, we ensured a smooth and well-supported experience across every stage of this remarkable project."
The Thailand stage ran from 14 February to 1 April 2026, beginning in Bangkok and continuing through Suphan Buri, Chai Nat, Nakhon Sawan, Phichit, Phitsanulok, Sukhothai, Kamphaeng Phet, Tak, Lampang, Lamphun, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phayao, Phrae and Uttaradit. The route then extended south through Phetchabun, Lop Buri, Nakhon Nayok, Chachoengsao, Rayong, Pattaya and Chon Buri, before continuing to Phuket, Phang-nga, Ranong, Chumphon, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Phetchaburi and Nakhon Pathom, concluding at AFS Thailand in Nonthaburi, with the delegation scheduled to depart Thailand on 2 April 2026 to continue the next stage in Morocco.
Throughout the journey, TAT worked closely with local offices and partners to provide logistical support, facilitate travel and ensure a safe, seamless experience. Supported by strong coordination across agencies and the warm hospitality of local communities nationwide, the successful execution reinforces Thailand's reputation for reliability, well-managed travel infrastructure and consistent standards of safety, service and accessibility. The experience left a strong impression on Mr. Pelletier and his team, who were visiting Thailand for the first time.
Highlights, photographs and footage from the journey across Thailand's iconic destinations have been shared continuously via the project website and the official Tour du Monde Jimmy Pelletier World Tour Facebook page.
This successful milestone further affirms Thailand's standing as a safe and inclusive destination, where quality, confidence and Tourism for All come together to deliver world-class travel experiences.
Notes to editors: The Jimmy Pelletier Cycling Ride — La Randonnée Jimmy Pelletier — is a 13-stage global cycling project raising awareness and funds for Adaptavie, a Quebec-based non-profit supporting people with physical, intellectual and autism-related disabilities.
