Bybit TradFi has rolled out its fifth Stock Carnival expansion, adding 44 new US stocks and ETFs to its platform. The batch includes BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT, AST SpaceMobile (ASTS), Phillips 66 (PSX), Manchester United (MANU), Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (LIT), and Global X Uranium ETF (URA).
What's in the Fifth Round
The most notable addition is IBIT, which gives users Bitcoin exposure through a traditional stock instrument without direct token custody. Other names span energy, media, and industrial sectors. Bybit described this as a continuation of four earlier rounds under the same campaign, not a one-off listing event.

Unified Account, Crypto Collateral
All new names are tradable through Bybit's Unified Trading Account (UTA), allowing a single account to handle crypto, stocks, and ETFs. Users can also post BTC or ETH as collateral for equity trades, a feature aimed at crypto holders who prefer not to convert to fiat. The platform offers zero-commission trading on these listings and a $5 reward for the first order above $10.

CFDs, Not Direct Holdings
These products are offered as contracts for difference (CFDs) on Bybit TradFi, meaning users track price movements without owning the underlying shares or ETF units. Bybit framed the expansion as a product access improvement, not a market call.
Bridging Crypto and Traditional Finance
The inclusion of IBIT deepens the link between digital assets and mainstream markets. By allowing crypto as collateral, Bybit gives users more flexibility to engage with stock markets while staying within the digital asset ecosystem.
