Bybit Launches First Batch of US Stock Perpetual Contracts

Bybit has expanded its derivatives menu with the live listing of a new set of equity tracking instruments. According to an official announcement from the exchange, the platform has activated the first batch of twenty US stock perpetual contracts, moving previously planned listings into active trading status.

The newly available instruments include SHAZUSDT, SONYUSDT, COSTUSDT, NFLXUSDT, BSPUSDT, and TTWOUSDT. All contracts are settled against Tether (USDT) and are now visible in the exchange’s derivatives section.

The products operate under standard perpetual futures mechanics rather than direct equity settlement. Bybit has structured the contracts with a maximum leverage limit of 20× and enables continuous, round-the-clock trading that extends beyond traditional market hours.

Funding intervals occur every eight hours, with funding rates capped at 2.5 percent. The exchange also confirmed that automated trading strategies via its futures bots are supported, while noting that contract parameters remain adjustable at its discretion.

This rollout extends Bybit’s range of synthetic equity exposure, though the contracts function strictly as price-tracking derivatives. Participants trading long or short positions will manage standard perpetual funding cycles, margin maintenance, and leverage-dependent risk thresholds. The exchange maintains standard oversight for the newly listed instruments, and no further changes to the initial contract parameters have been indicated at launch.
