Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 12, 2026 (Chainwire) — Bybit, the self-described New Financial Platform 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 the platform.

The campaign runs from today through Oct. 31, 2026, and follows the launch 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. The single-account setup places U.S.-listed equities alongside digital assets, aligning the service with the company's stated aim of combining investing, trading, payments, and wealth-building in one ecosystem. According to the company, Full Stocks Ahead is built to help first-time stock traders place their first trade and to reward active traders who keep trading throughout the month.

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

Under the daily reward box component, eligible users who trade more than $2,000 in stocks on a given day receive a reward box containing up to 50 USDC.

The Stock Splash trading competition carries 100,000 USDC. Participants share the 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 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, $10,000–$100,000 earns 1.2x, and more than $100,000 earns 1.5x.

Within Stock Splash, the two schedules tie reward outcomes to both the timing of trades and the size of balances: the early-trading multiplier declines as the 20-day window progresses, while the holdings multiplier scales with the average stock balance a participant maintains through the campaign close.

How to Participate

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 stock trading service is available; Pro accounts are not eligible. The restrictions reflect that availability of the underlying service varies by jurisdiction and account type. 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 terms and conditions apply.

Service Provider and Risk Disclosures

The Bybit Stocks service is provided by Infra Capital Limited as introducing broker, regulated by the Financial Services Commission, Mauritius (GB23202169). U.S. securities clearing, settlement, and custody services are provided by Alpaca Securities LLC, doing business as "Alpaca Clearing," a member of FINRA and SIPC. The structure divides duties between the two firms: the introducing broker manages the client relationship, while the FINRA-member broker-dealer handles clearing, settlement, and custody of the U.S. securities, with SIPC membership tied to the protection of customer assets held at member firms. Some corporate actions may be restricted at this time, and access and ownership are subject to the Bybit Stocks Terms & Conditions.

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