The event offers a truly free experience for Bybit TradFi users, and comes at a time when Bybit is launching a dedicated RWA (real-world assets) portal that unifies all of its RWA and RWA-adjacent offerings: from tokenized equities and precious metals on Bybit Spot, to comprehensive stock CFD trading through Bybit TradFi, to traditional financial asset perpetual contracts, and RWA yield products on Bybit Earn.
Through the initiative, Bybit TradFi is the only avenue of its kind among mainstream CEXs to waive commissions and swap fees simultaneously. Traders now experience true cost-efficient global market access all from a unified USDT-denominated account on Bybit.
Zero Swap Fees: Global Market Access at No Costs
The zero-fee event for premium stock CFD trading offers traders exceptional access to Bybit TradFi with genuine cost efficiency. Not just free on paper, but also with hidden and standard costs of trading removed:
- Zero Commission + Zero Swap Fee: Truly frictionless trading at no fee; users can select the Zero-Fee Mode with pure Straight Through Processing (STP) pricing with no hidden fee structures. Traders can earn up to 2,000 USDT in Swap Fee rebates.

- Up to 5x Leverage: Strategic capital deployment with flexible leverage options designed for different trading styles
The Complete Bybit RWA Ecosystem
The launch marks Bybit's commitment to democratizing access to both crypto and RWA within a single, integrated platform. The new Bybit RWA Portal consolidates all forms of RWA exposure available on Bybit:
- Bybit TradFi (Stock CFD Trading): Over 300 global stock CFDs with zero swap fees, 5x leverage, and USDT settlement. The flagship product line for TradFi asset exposure also covers forex, global indices, commodities, oil, and precious metals.

In the past two years, engagement with TradFi's deep global markets among crypto-native traders has grown meaningfully. The change is unfolding as digital asset portfolios mature and diversification becomes part of sound portfolio strategy. Pioneering in TradFi exposure, Bybit was the first centralized crypto exchange to introduce traditional asset CFD trading in as early as 2022.
