Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit is doubling down on its private market strategy by introducing pre-IPO perpetual contracts for robotics firm Unitree and AI powerhouse Moonshot AI. These additions provide traders with unique exposure to emerging companies before they hit public stock exchanges.
The move signifies Bybit’s aggressive expansion into traditional financial instruments. The platform’s institutional-grade perpetuals suite now boasts over 200 distinct products, ranging from global equities and ETFs to niche commodities and private company shares.
By bridging the gap between crypto-native platforms and the private equity sector, Bybit aims to capture traders looking for early-stage investment opportunities. This strategy reflects a broader trend among digital asset exchanges diversifying away from pure crypto-assets.
As these startups continue to make headlines in the tech world, Bybit’s decision to offer perpetuals suggests a shift in how retail and institutional investors access high-stakes private sector growth.
