Bybit adds POLYMARKETUSDT and OURAUSDT perpetuals, with PONS now live on spot

Bybit has expanded its listings with pre-IPO perpetual contracts for POLYMARKETUSDT and OURAUSDT, while PONS has been added to spot trading, according to the exchange’s own announcements.

The spot listing for PONS is confirmed in a Bybit announcement on its official blog. Separate Bybit posts and exchange-tracked listing updates also indicate that POLYMARKETUSDT and OURAUSDT were introduced as pre-IPO perpetual markets.

Three listings, two product types

The latest updates split across two parts of Bybit’s venue: derivatives and spot. POLYMARKETUSDT and OURAUSDT were launched as perpetual contracts under Bybit’s pre-IPO branding, while PONS was listed on spot trading.

Bybit’s announcement for PONS describes the token as a launchpad asset tied to the Robinhood blockchain, with trading available against spot market liquidity on the exchange. The other two listings extend Bybit’s pre-IPO perpetual lineup, giving traders access to markets structured around tokens before any broader IPO-style event or related launch is complete.

According to the exchange’s Telegram announcement feed, call auction timing was also set for the pre-IPO contracts, including Sep. 22, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. UTC for OURAUSDT and Sep. 23, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. UTC for POLYMARKETUSDT.

That schedule suggests the contracts were introduced with staged market access rather than a simple one-step opening, though the practical terms remain defined by Bybit’s own listing mechanics.

What Bybit is signaling with the move

The listings point to Bybit continuing to use both spot and derivatives markets to bring new tokens and pre-IPO-style contracts onto the platform. In practical terms, that expands the set of assets traders can access on the exchange, but it does not by itself say anything about longer-term demand or token performance.

For readers following exchange operations, the key change is straightforward: PONS is now available on spot, while POLYMARKETUSDT and OURAUSDT are available as pre-IPO perpetual contracts on Bybit.
