Bybit, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has unveiled a new Spread Trading feature aimed at enhancing the efficiency and precision of crypto trading strategies. This latest rollout is designed to make advanced trading tactics more accessible, particularly for users looking to reduce slippage and optimize trade execution.
What Is Bybit’s Spread Trading Tool?
The Spread Trading tool simplifies complex strategies by enabling users to combine multiple crypto transactions into a single trade. This helps eliminate the risk of slippage, where price discrepancies occur between order placement and execution. Bybit ensures both sides of a trade are executed simultaneously—or not at all—by locking in the entry spread, removing the risk of partial fills that can expose traders to unintended market movement.
Features and Supported Trading Pairs
Currently, Spread Trading supports major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). Traders can utilize four types of contract combinations:
- Expiry-to-Expiry
- Expiry-to-Perpetual
- Expiry-to-Spot
- Perpetual-to-Spot
These options allow for delta-neutral strategies that help mitigate exposure to overall market volatility, offering greater flexibility in portfolio management.
Cost Efficiency and Strategic Benefits
One of the standout benefits of Bybit’s Spread Trading is the potential to save up to 50% in fees compared to executing multiple separate trades. This makes it a powerful tool for strategies focused on relative value—such as futures spreads, funding rate arbitrage, and basis trading—rather than directional bets on price movements.
Expansion and Institutional Integration
This new tool is part of Bybit’s broader strategy to strengthen both its centralized and decentralized offerings. As the second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, Bybit serves over 60 million users and is continually expanding its toolkit to meet evolving trader needs. More trading pairs and supported assets are expected to be added to Spread Trading in future updates.
In a related move to attract institutional investors, Bybit has also partnered with Zodia Custody, integrating secure off-venue settlement solutions. This collaboration enhances asset protection, regulatory compliance, and capital efficiency, catering to institutions that require pre-funding alternatives and counterparty risk reduction.
With these developments, Bybit reaffirms its leadership in the crypto exchange ecosystem, delivering innovative tools that improve efficiency for both retail and institutional traders.
