Bybit Launches BYUSDT to Enable Yield-Earning Collateral for Retail Traders

2026-01-29 00:42 Last Updated At:01:05

DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has launched the "BYUSDT: Turn Your Easy Earn Assets Into Trading Power" campaign, which is now live. The campaign introduces a tokenized asset that allows retail users to earn yield on USDT while using the same funds as trading margin. Eligible users may earn up to an 11.30 percent bonus annual percentage rate on qualifying BYUSDT holdings, subject to applicable caps and terms.

How BYUSDT Is Used

  • Users deposit USDT into Flexible Easy Earn, where the balance begins generating yield.
  • The Flexible Easy Earn balance can be swapped to BYUSDT within the Unified Trading Account and used as margin for trading, with swaps processed at a fixed 1:1 conversion rate.

BYUSDT represents users' USDT Flexible Easy Earn balances in tokenized form and can be held and used exclusively as margin within Bybit's Unified Trading Account. After conversion, the underlying USDT continues to generate Flexible Easy Earn yield while BYUSDT is deployed for trading.

BYUSDT is fully backed at all times by users' Flexible Easy Earn USDT and is managed entirely within the Bybit platform. It does not support transfers, deposits, withdrawals, conversions, INS loans, or direct spot trading pairs.

Yield on BYUSDT follows the same mechanism as USDT Flexible Easy Earn, excluding any platform reward APR. Yield accrues hourly based on effective holdings and is distributed daily at approximately 12:30 a.m. UTC in BYUSDT, increasing users' balances over time.

The introduction of BYUSDT reflects Bybit's focus on improving capital efficiency and flexibility for retail traders. By enabling users to earn yield while deploying the same funds for margin trading, the campaign is intended to reduce idle capital and simplify portfolio management within a unified account structure, supporting Bybit's broader efforts to develop risk-aware trading tools and yield-accessible products for its global user base.

Disclaimer: BYUSDT is available only to users eligible for Bybit Savings services who hold a Unified Trading Account and have completed Identity Verification Level 1. Islamic accounts are not eligible, and availability may be restricted in certain jurisdictions, including but not limited to mainland China, France, Hong Kong, India, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. All participants must comply with the Bybit Terms of Service. Bybit reserves the right to disqualify accounts engaged in dishonest or abusive activities, to modify campaign terms without prior notice, and to retain final interpretation rights.

Bybit Launches BYUSDT to Enable Yield-Earning Collateral for Retail Traders

Bybit Launches BYUSDT to Enable Yield-Earning Collateral for Retail Traders

TAIPEI, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GIGABYTE, the world's leading computer brand, deepens its strategic partnership with AMD to accelerate on-device AI across three key product lines, including AI gaming laptops, X870E X3D series motherboards, and high-refresh OLED gaming monitors. Powered by AMD platforms and built with GIGABYTE's advanced technology, this collaboration delivers fast, smooth performance for gaming and creation, as well as steady stability for PC builds.

For AI gaming laptops, AORUS MASTER 16 is powered by the AMD Ryzen™ 9 9955HX3D processor with AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology, an advanced cache design that helps keep frame rates steady in fast-paced games while accelerating demanding creator workloads. GIGABYTE AERO X16 (Copilot+ PC) runs on AMD Ryzen™ AI 400 Series processors, leveraging the built-in NPU to handle select AI tasks efficiently on-device for everyday AI experiences. To help AMD's performance shine in real sessions, GIGABYTE elevates the experience with WINDFORCE Infinity EX cooling technology on AORUS MASTER 16—rated for 230W max total thermal power—and GiMATE, GIGABYTE'S exclusive AI agent that streamlines power, performance, and AI features into clear, workflow-friendly controls, so users get strong and steady performance with less manual tuning.

On desktops, GIGABYTE X870E X3D Series motherboards are designed to unleash the performance of AMD Ryzen™ 9000 Series Processors with AMD 3D V-Cache™ Technology, where platform tuning can directly influence gaming stability and responsiveness. Built on AMD X3D foundation, GIGABYTE adds its exclusive AI-powered X3D Turbo Mode 2.0, a true hardware–software fusion optimized specifically for AMD 3D V-Cache™ Technology behavior, along with a robust power design, refined BIOS, and DIY-friendly features to deliver smooth, consistent gaming performance with less trial-and-error tuning.

For OLED gaming monitors, the GIGABYTE MO27Q28GR, MO34WQC36, and MO32U24 are AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro technology-certified, delivering VRR smoothness by syncing the refresh rate to frame output for tear-free, stutter-free gameplay. Building on gameplay smoothness delivered by AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro technology, GIGABYTE adds its exclusive Tactical Features, a built-in suite of tools for competitive usability. For example, Tactical Switch 2.0 enables one-click switching between resolutions and aspect ratios such as 4:3 or 5:4. Aim Stabilizer intelligently inserts black frames to reduce motion blur, and Game Assist overlays such as a custom crosshair and timer for additional competitive edge.

By deepening collaboration with AMD across laptops, motherboards, and displays, this lineup pairs AMD platform innovation with GIGABYTE's system control, performance engineering, and display tuning—delivering real-world gains for on-device AI gaming, creation, and PC builds.
