Fast facts
- Bybit said on Thursday it will offer Circle’s services to its users by expanding its USDC spot pair listings to accelerate Bybit’s growth “as a gateway for retail and institutional USDC-settled products.”
- The exchange introduced USDC options earlier this year to add further diversification to its users’ trading arsenal.
- As part of the partnership, Bybit will develop and promote products that support the growth of USDC, such as spot trading, perpetual contracts and options.
- In June, Bybit was reportedly seeking to cut up to 30% of its staff to reduce costs, and its spokesperson told Forkast at the time that it was “exploring a way to remove overlapping functions and build smaller but more agile teams to improve our efficiency.”
