Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has launched "Stock Earnings Season," a limited-time trading program running from July 21 to August 30, 2026. The campaign is timed to coincide with one of the most concentrated stretches of quarterly earnings reports on the financial calendar, as Q2 earnings season unfolds across Wall Street.

Earnings reports from mega-cap technology companies are among the most closely watched events in global equities markets, as they move not only the individual stock price but also broad index sentiment, given the outsized weighting of names like Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft in benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite.

The program kicks off with Tesla's scheduled earnings release on July 22, followed by Alphabet on July 23. Over the following six weeks, the event covers high-profile earnings dates from Meta, Apple, Amazon, SPCX, Nvidia, Microsoft, Micron, and SanDisk — encompassing some of the most widely anticipated announcements for equities traders.

Through the initiative, Bybit aims to foster disciplined trading and informed decision-making among its community, according to the exchange.

How the Program Works

Once enrolled, participants earn points by trading across Bybit's global equities product suite, which includes spot, derivatives, Bybit Alpha, and Bybit TradFi stock CFD trading. Points accumulated during the event count toward a leaderboard, with the top 200 participants sharing a reward pool of up to 1 million USDT.

The program features several reward mechanics:

Welcome gifts: The first 20,000 eligible new users receive exclusive perks for completing registration, KYC verification, first deposits, and first trades. Qualifying Convert Stock trades also come with USDT bonuses on a first-come, first-served basis.

Daily and milestone tasks: Prolific traders can unlock additional rewards through daily check-ins and by reaching cumulative trading volume milestones across Bybit's stock-themed product suite.

Engagement rewards: A daily mechanic allows users to allocate points toward the stock perpetual pair they expect to post the strongest T+1 gain from a tracked list of ten. Users who select correctly split the pooled points from that day's activity.

Bonus track: Between July 21 and July 30, traders can earn extra points on five designated stock perpetual pairs: TSLAUSDT, GOOGLUSDT, METAUSDT, AAPLUSDT, and AMZNUSDT.

Referral points: A successful referral to the campaign that results in a qualifying first-time trade earns the referrer additional points.

In addition to select airdrop rewards, points can be redeemed through a rewards store offering a Tesla Cybertruck, an iPhone 17 Pro Max, a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card, Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, Google AI Ultra membership access, and USDT.

Broader Market Context

Bybit described the event as reflecting a broader shift in financial markets, as traditional financial assets and crypto trading infrastructure increasingly converge. Tokenized equities, stock-related perpetual contracts, and other traditional finance instruments are moving onto crypto-native platforms, placing a premium on exchanges with deep liquidity, established risk infrastructure, and the ability to support both asset classes within a single system. Several major crypto exchanges have been expanding into tokenized stocks and TradFi products in recent years, reflecting growing demand from users who want to manage both asset classes on a single platform.

Bybit has continued to expand its TradFi and stock-themed product line alongside its core crypto offerings, positioning itself to serve both crypto-native traders and users engaging with tokenized traditional assets for the first time.
