Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 12, 2026 (Chainwire). Bybit, the financial platform that says it is trusted by more than 80 million users worldwide, has launched Full Stocks Ahead, a 20-day campaign with a 150,000 USDC prize pool that rewards eligible users for trading U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Bybit. The campaign runs from Oct. 12 through Oct. 31, 2026. Prizes are denominated in USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar.

The campaign follows the launch 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 designed to help first-time stock traders place their first trade while rewarding active traders who keep trading throughout the month. For readers, the launch is notable for what it puts under one login: more than 1,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs alongside crypto in a single account.

The prize pool is split across four parts: 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, with 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 for Days 6–10, 1.2x for Days 11–15, 1.1x for Days 16–18, and 1.0x for Days 19–20.
• Average holdings: an average daily stock balance of $1,000–$10,000 earns a 1.1x multiplier, a balance of $10,000–$100,000 earns 1.2x, and a balance above $100,000 earns 1.5x.

Read together, the multipliers reward starting early — the volume bonus declines as the campaign progresses — and staying invested, since the holdings bonus grows with average balances.

How to Take Part

Eligible users can register on the Full Stocks Ahead campaign page and start 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. Because access depends on region and account type, the campaign page is the reference point for eligibility and reward calculations. 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, and the campaign's Terms and Conditions apply. Bybit advises users to review the page for complete eligibility criteria and reward calculation details.
