Let’s see who really knows MENA 👇

[Derek @derekbybit]

Bybit started bridging crypto and TradFi long before it became the industry trend.

From launching TradFi products in 2022 to pushing tokenized stocks in 2025, we’ve always believed the future of finance would be more open, more global, and accessible 24/7.

Now everyone is moving in this direction. The market is finally catching up. And one thing won’t change: our focus on innovation and building new products and core services for the next generation of finance. Stay tuned.

[Ben Zhou @benbybit]

when did Bybit x tradfi ? a while ago.

1. April 2022- Tradfi product line (forex, indices, gold, silver, oil, almost 400 symbols ) https://t.co/rGcFFgagl3
2. June 2025- Tokenize stock (working with xstock)

@AshCrypto Every major technological and financial shift threatens existing power structures at first.

Crypto was never designed to make traditional banking comfortable.

[Derek @derekbybit]

Short-term outflows are normal, especially after strong runs and during periods of macro uncertainty.

What matters more to me is the long-term direction: institutions are already here, regulation is improving, and crypto is becoming increasingly integrated into the global financial system.

Retail adoption is also still growing quietly in the background. Exchanges and projects around the world continue investing heavily in education, onboarding, and payment infrastructure to bring more people into crypto.

Adoption doesn’t move in a straight line. Neither do markets.

@WatcherGuru In Chinese culture, “250” is actually slang for someone foolish or not very smart 😭

Maybe they should’ve picked literally any other number…

This is how adoption quietly happens. People used to ask whether crypto would become mainstream. Now it’s gradually being integrated directly into the platforms people already use every day.

The future of crypto may not look like “crypto” anymore — it may simply become part of the internet’s financial infrastructure.

[Derek @derekbybit]

We’re launching a new app skin for the upcoming Eid Adha🌙

At Bybit MENA, we strive to provide experiences that feel closer to local culture and the community we serve.

How do you like the new Eid skin? 👀

[Derek @derekbybit]

Just wrapped up my interview with CNBC Arabia @CNBCArabia discussing:
•The impact of the CLARITY Act on the global crypto market
•Why regulatory clarity is accelerating institutional adoption
•The UAE’s growing role as a global digital asset hub
•The rise of stablecoins, RWA tokenization, and digital financial infrastructure

One key point: Crypto is gradually moving from speculative trading into real-world financial infrastructure.

The next phase of the industry will be driven by: regulation, institutions, payments, tokenization, and global capital flows.

The Middle East — especially the UAE — is becoming one of the most important regions in shaping that future.

[Derek @derekbybit]

Tokenized stocks are still very new, but the direction is becoming increasingly clear.

This is bigger than simply putting equities onchain. It’s about transforming how financial markets operate — 24/7 access, global distribution, fractional ownership, faster settlement, and eventually a much more open financial system.

The line between crypto exchanges and traditional financial infrastructure is starting to blur.
