Bybit has unveiled its seventh anniversary campaign, “#7Up,” with $2.5 million in rewards for its global trading community. The exchange said its user base has grown to nearly 80 million worldwide. The campaign runs from Nov. 26, 2025 through Jan. 6, 2026, with seasonal events and themed activities open to eligible users across markets.
Six prize pools and a leaderboard headline the campaign
According to the announcement, the program features six seasonal prize pools spread across the holiday period. Eligible users can unlock rewards by reaching Mantle avatar levels during each round. Bybit is also running a main leaderboard tied to points earned over the course of the event. The top 7,777 participants will share a major reward pool, and the top-ranked user will receive a $77,777 grand prize.
The campaign also includes lucky draws with a guaranteed reward on every entry. Users can earn draw chances by completing designated tasks during the event window. Each draw pays out rewards ranging from 0.7 USDT to 77 MNT.
Regulatory approvals in Europe and the UAE
Bybit used the anniversary announcement to highlight developments from its seventh year. In Europe, Bybit EU officially obtained a MiCAR license in Austria. In the UAE, the company said it became the first crypto exchange to secure a full Virtual Asset Platform Operator License from the country’s Securities and Commodities Authority, after receiving in-principle approval earlier in 2025.
The company also pointed to product and ecosystem expansion. Byreal, a Solana-based decentralized exchange backed by Bybit, launched in October 2025. Bybit said the platform now ranks No. 5 in DefiLlama’s Solana DEX rankings by 30-day fees and revenue, with more than $869 million in cumulative trading volume. It has expanded to partnerships with more than 40 projects spanning RWA, AI, infrastructure, and DeFi, while supporting 13 xStocks tokenized equities.
Mantle integration and WSOT record
Bybit said it deepened Mantle integration across its platform over the past year as part of a broader strategic alliance tied to DeFi infrastructure. The company also highlighted WSOT 2025, which it said earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the most participants in an online trading competition within 24 hours.
Co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou said Bybit was built around the idea that traders deserve a platform that listens and adapts. He described the anniversary campaign as a way to celebrate the community and give back to users who have supported the exchange’s growth.
