DUBAI, UAE — Sept. 23, 2026 — Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced that its Copy Trading feature now supports TradFi Perpetual Contracts (TradFi Perps), bringing traditional financial assets to the tool for the first time. Master Traders can now open positions on assets including Tesla, Apple, and NVIDIA within Copy Trading Classic (), and other users can replicate those positions directly.
The added support allows Copy Trading users to follow Master Traders who take positions on TradFi Perps in addition to crypto pairs, with all positions settled in USDT, a US dollar-pegged stablecoin. Through Bybit, users can gain exposure to TradFi assets without navigating traditional brokerage accounts, and TradFi Perps on Bybit trade 24/7, consistent with the always-on nature of the perpetual contract model — a derivative format that, unlike conventional futures, carries no fixed expiry date.
Copy trading lets users automatically mirror the moves of selected lead traders, a format that has become a staple offering among major crypto venues. Because positions are replicated automatically, followers carry the same market exposure — on both the upside and the downside — as the Master Traders they follow. To activate the feature, an eligible Bybit user simply follows a Master Trader on Bybit Copy Trading Classic to mimic their moves in Bybit TradFi Perps. Whether adjusting a portfolio beyond crypto or venturing into real-world assets, diversification is straightforward: both crypto and stock positions can be managed within a single Copy Trading Classic account.
In 2026, crypto-native trading platforms have been emerging as the world's fastest-growing venues for trading stocks, gold, and other traditional assets, including through perpetual futures contracts. Over the 18 months to June 2026, the monthly trading volume of TradFi assets on major crypto exchanges grew 117x, from $3.32 billion in January 2025 to $387.39 billion in June 2026. In the first five months of 2026, cumulative TradFi perpetual contracts trading volume reached $1.32 trillion, roughly 12.7 times the $104.21 billion generated in the entire year of 2025.
