DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced the launch of Bybit Pay in Peru through seamless integration with two of the country's most popular digital payment platforms: Yape and Plin. This expansion brings real-world crypto payment capabilities to millions of Peruvian digital wallet users, marking another milestone in bridging traditional finance with the digital economy in Latin America.
Empowering Peru's Digital-First Economy
Peru's digital wallet adoption has surged in recent years, with Yape and Plin each serving approximately 14 million users in 2024. Bybit Pay's latest integration enables Peruvian consumers to use their existing Yape QR codes and Plin phone-number transfers to make cryptocurrency-backed payments both online and at local merchants, combining the familiarity of Peru's most trusted payment methods with the innovation of digital assets.
This partnership positions Bybit Pay at the heart of Peru's rapidly evolving cashless economy, where Yape handled 54% of in-person transactions and PLIN 34% in 2024. Research showed over half of the adult population in Peru use phone-based digital wallets.
Building on Yape's and Plin's vast local networks, Bybit Pay users in Peru can now:
- Pay with QR Codes: Use existing Yape QR codes to make instant cryptocurrency payments at participating merchants nationwide
- Transfer Money by Phone Number: Execute secure Plin phone-number transfers backed by cryptocurrency holdings
- Shop with Digital Assets: Access payments at both e-commerce platforms and physical retail locations
- Enjoy Fast Settlement: Benefit from near-instant transaction confirmation with enhanced security
In Peru, the platform supports multiple cryptocurrencies including USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, and other major digital assets, automatically converting them for seamless Peruvian Sol (PEN) transactions.
To celebrate the launch, Bybit Pay is offering unprecedented rewards for users in Peru:
- New User Exclusive: On top of other welcome bonuses, new users who successfully sign up for Bybit Pay can get a 50% discount coupon on their first QR code or phone-number transfer payment.
- Current User Benefits: Existing Bybit Pay users can earn 2–10% cashback on every QR or phone-number transfer payment
"By integrating with mainstream payment methods Peruvians already know and trust, Bybit Pay is removing barriers to digital asset adoption and making crypto genuinely useful for everyday transactions," said Patricio Mesri, CEO of Bybit LATAM. "Peru represents one of Latin America's most dynamic digital payment markets, and we are proud to be building the infrastructure for financial innovation and inclusion together with our partners."

Bybit Pay Bring Crypto Payments to Peru's Most Popular Digital Wallets, Yape and Plin
HONG KONG, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LiberNovo proudly announces that the LiberNovo Omni has been awarded the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 in the Product Design – Beauty/Wellness category. The chair represents LiberNovo's breakthrough approach to Dynamic Ergonomics. The iF DESIGN AWARD is widely regarded as one of the most respected awards in international design and recognizes innovative, functional, and user-centric designs.
Revolutionizing Ergonomics
The LiberNovo Omni was designed to revolutionize how people sit during long work hours. Unlike other office chairs that force people into unnatural positions and postures, the LiberNovo Omni introduces a new category of seating, the Dynamic Ergonomic Chair.
The chair supports your body as you naturally move throughout the day, so you can always adjust your position freely and still receive continuous support.
The LiberNovo Omni solves one of the biggest problems facing today's work environment. As work has become more and more desk-based, people are spending more time than ever before sitting. Traditional office chairs are designed for stationary use and often don't accommodate body movement, leading to lower back discomfort and strain.
Technologies Behind the Award-Winning Design
At the core of the LiberNovo Omni's design is Dynamic Support, LiberNovo's adaptive support system that automatically adjusts to posture changes in real time. Instead of requiring users to manually readjust their chairs throughout the day, Dynamic Support continuously responds to body movement, helping maintain balance and ergonomic alignment without interruption.
The chair also features LiberNovo's Bionic FlexFit Backrest, an advanced ergonomic structure that contours to the natural curvature of the spine. Using multiple pivot points and adaptive panels, the backrest distributes pressure evenly across the back while allowing natural motion. This approach provides consistent support from the hips through the shoulders, creating a seating experience that adapts to the individual rather than forcing the individual to adapt to the chair.
The LiberNovo Omni also incorporates multiple recline modes, allowing users to shift naturally between focused work and more relaxed postures while maintaining continuous ergonomic support. For deeper recovery, the chair includes OmniStretch, a guided decompression feature that gently stretches the lower spine and helps relieve pressure accumulated during prolonged sitting.
Together, these technologies define a new approach to ergonomic seating built around movement, adaptability, and long-term physical support.
Design Philosophy
The development of the LiberNovo Omni focused on solving a longstanding challenge in chair design: balancing softness, structural support, and freedom of movement. Traditionally, improving one of these qualities has meant compromising another. The LiberNovo Omni was engineered to bring these elements together in a single system, combining comfort, stability, and natural mobility.
This approach reflects LiberNovo's broader philosophy: the tools we use every day should work with the human body rather than against it. In modern work environments, productivity should not come at the expense of long-term health.
Design Collaboration
The chair was developed by the LiberNovo design team in Shenzhen, China, in collaboration with Kairos Innovation, an industrial design firm based there. Together, the teams focused on creating an ergonomic system that maintains support across the wide range of positions people naturally adopt while working throughout the day.
About the iF DESIGN AWARD
Established in 1954, the iF DESIGN AWARD is an internationally recognized standard for measuring design quality. Entries are selected using strict evaluation criteria, including innovation, functionality, ergonomics, and overall design impact.
In 2026, over 10,000 entries from more than 60 countries were submitted for consideration for the iF DESIGN AWARD. All entries were evaluated by an independent group of international design professionals, making the iF DESIGN AWARD one of the most highly respected design awards available today.
Looking Ahead
Receiving the iF DESIGN AWARD is a significant milestone for LiberNovo, demonstrating the company's continued commitment to advancing ergonomic seating design.
The iF DESIGN AWARD highlights the increasing importance of designing workplace solutions that enable workers to be productive and support their long-term physical health and wellness.
As workspaces continue to evolve, LiberNovo believes seating should move away from static support systems toward more dynamic, human-centered designs.
The LiberNovo Omni embodies this vision by shifting ergonomic design away from static seating, creating a chair that adapts to the user rather than requiring the user to adapt to the chair.
About LiberNovo
LiberNovo is a design and technology company focused on advancing ergonomic innovation for modern work environments. Through a combination of advanced engineering and human-centered design, the company develops intelligent products that respond to the evolving ways people work and interact with their surroundings.
