Bybit Expands Into US Stocks and Commodities as Pro-Crypto Policies Gain Ground

The expansion is expected to launch before the end of the current quarter, signaling a major strategic shift for the crypto-native platform.

Stocks, Gold, and Oil Coming to Bybit

CEO Ben Zhou confirmed the new products during a livestream on May 3, announcing that traders will soon be able to access major U.S. stocks like Apple and MicroStrategy, along with gold, crude oil, and other commodities.

The move reflects Bybit’s effort to attract both retail and institutional investors by offering more traditional financial instruments. These products will be integrated into Bybit’s current infrastructure, including the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform — already used for leveraged gold trades.

Bybit will offer up to 500x leverage on select instruments, targeting high-risk, high-reward traders who previously focused only on crypto markets.

Trump-Era Crypto Sentiment Driving Expansion

Zhou linked the timing of Bybit’s diversification to the recent shift in U.S. policy under the Trump administration, which has taken a more favorable stance on digital assets and broader financial innovation. The political climate has given platforms like Bybit renewed confidence to expand into regulated financial territory.

Bybit’s pivot marks a growing trend among crypto exchanges aiming to become full-service trading platforms amid rising demand for diversified financial products.
