Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 12, 2026 — Bybit, the New Financial Platform trusted by more than 80 million users worldwide, has launched Full Stocks Ahead, a 20-day campaign carrying a 150,000 USDC prize pool that rewards eligible users for trading U.S. stocks and ETFs on Bybit.

The campaign runs from today until Oct. 31, 2026, and follows the debut of Bybit's stock trading service, which gives eligible users access to more than 1,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs from the same account they use for crypto. According to the company, Full Stocks Ahead is built to help first-time stock traders place their first trade while rewarding active traders who keep trading through the month. In outline, it is a 20-day on-ramp for a single-account model that sits at the intersection of crypto and traditional equities.

The prize pool is divided into four components: a first-trade reward, a daily reward box, the 100,000 USDC Stock Splash trading competition, and a 20,000 USDC leaderboard for Bybit affiliates.

How the Campaign Works

Daily reward box: Each day, eligible users who trade more than $2,000 in stocks receive a reward box containing up to 50 USDC.

Stock Splash trading competition (100,000 USDC): Participants share the prize pool in proportion to their eligible trading volume, subject to an individual cap of 5,000 USDC. To qualify, a participant must trade at least $1,000 in stocks during the campaign and hold at least $1,000 in stocks when the campaign ends. Two multipliers apply:

• Early trading: Volume traded on Days 1–5 counts at 1.4x, stepping down to 1.3x (Days 6–10), 1.2x (Days 11–15), 1.1x (Days 16–18), and 1.0x (Days 19–20).
• Average holdings: An average daily stock balance of $1,000–10,000 earns a 1.1x multiplier, $10,000–100,000 earns 1.2x, and more than $100,000 earns 1.5x.

Read together, the multipliers front-load rewards into the campaign's opening days and add a holding-based tilt on top of raw trading volume, with larger average balances earning progressively higher boosts.

How to Take Part

Eligible users can register on the Full Stocks Ahead campaign page and begin trading stocks from the Bybit app or website. The campaign is open to main accounts in regions where Bybit's stocks trading service is available; Pro accounts are not eligible. Final holdings for the Stock Splash competition are measured at the close of the campaign on Oct. 31, 2026, at 0:00 UTC.

Full details, including reward distribution timelines, are available on the campaign page. Terms and Conditions apply.

Service and Regulatory Details

Bybit said its Stocks service is provided by Infra Capital Limited (introducing broker), regulated by the Financial Services Commission, Mauritius (GB23202169). U.S. securities clearing, settlement, and custody services are provided by Alpaca Securities LLC (dba “Alpaca Clearing”), a FINRA/SIPC member. That split — a Mauritius-regulated introducing broker working with a FINRA/SIPC-member clearer and custodian — is the plumbing behind the equities offering, and it comes with stated limits: some corporate actions may be restricted at this time, and access and ownership are subject to the Bybit Stocks Terms & Conditions.

The company cautioned that capital is at risk and users may get back less than they invested, urging participants to read the Risk Disclosures before investing. Participation is subject to eligibility requirements, and the event is not available to residents of Dubai.
