Bybit Launches FX Perpetual Contracts With Up to 100x Leverage

Dubai-headquartered crypto exchange Bybit has launched USDT-settled perpetual contracts for three major foreign exchange pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY. The contracts support round-the-clock trading and offer leverage of up to 100x. They have no expiration date, and all profits and losses are settled in USDT. Traders gain exposure to price movements in the underlying currency pairs, but do not receive ownership of the related currencies. The new contracts have been added to Bybit’s TradFi Perpetuals product line, which the exchange introduced in April. The product line currently covers more than 200 assets, including stocks, commodities, exchange-traded funds and pre-IPO companies. Odaily reported the launch, citing Cointelegraph. The product is structured as a derivatives offering rather than direct foreign exchange ownership, with settlement handled entirely in USDT. Bybit’s newly listed contracts are limited to the three currency pairs named in the report.

Bybit launches USDT-settled forex perpetuals with up to 100x leverage

Crypto exchange Bybit has introduced USDT-settled forex perpetual contracts tied to three major currency pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY. The contracts offer up to 100x leverage and trade on a 24/7 basis. The new listings sit under Bybit’s TradFi perpetuals lineup, which the exchange said has expanded to more than 200 assets since its launch in April 2026, including stocks, commodities, ETFs and pre-listing companies. The move adds foreign exchange exposure to a product suite that already spans several traditional finance categories. ChainCatcher’s report also cited Bank for International Settlements data showing that the global foreign exchange market recorded $9.6 trillion in average daily over-the-counter turnover in April 2025, making it the world’s largest and most liquid financial market. Bybit is not the first crypto venue to enter this segment. Kraken rolled out five forex perpetual contracts in April 2025 with up to 50x leverage, while BitMEX launched six similar products in April 2026, each offering leverage of up to 100x.

Study finds recurring trading surges in crypto perpetuals every 15 minutes

A paper cited by MarsBit says crypto perpetual futures may trade around the clock, yet activity repeatedly spikes at fixed intrahour boundaries that resemble miniature opening bells. Using tick-by-tick data from six Binance perpetual contracts — Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin and Cardano — from Jan. 1, 2021 to Oct. 31, 2024, researchers Chan Kim and Peter Reinhard Hansen found sharp increases in trades, dollar volume and price movement at the start of each 15-minute interval, with the strongest burst at the top of the hour. Most of the move appears within the first 10 seconds. Across the six contracts, trade count in that 10-second window was 26% above normal, dollar volume was 32% higher and absolute price movement was 26% larger. The paper links the pattern to shared market structure rather than any single token: charting software, standard candlestick intervals, indicator recalculations and automated execution systems all cluster around the same time boundaries. The researchers also found a modest predictive signal in pre-window market data, but said it was too small to overcome fees. Their backtests showed 56.6% directional accuracy, yet the average gross return per trade was only 0.51 basis points, far below Binance’s stated maker and taker fees in the sample period.

Two wallets tied to Ethena moved $6.75 million in ENA to exchanges since Sept. 3

Two wallets flagged by on-chain analyst Ai Yi as possibly linked to the Ethena project have transferred ENA worth $6.75 million to exchanges since Sept. 3, according to an Odaily report. In the most recent activity, the two addresses deposited 19 million ENA to Bybit over the past 15 hours, valued at about $3.29 million based on the figures cited in the report. Ai Yi said both wallets had received tokens from an Ethena multisig address two years ago and had not moved those holdings until recently. The transfers began after a rise in ENA’s price, with the wallets now sending tokens to exchanges in batches. The report described the activity as a suspected full-position exit, though it cited on-chain monitoring rather than an official statement from Ethena.
