Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 12, 2026 - Bybit has initiated a time-limited promotional effort aimed at driving adoption of its recently launched U.S. stocks and ETFs trading service. Branded Full Stocks Ahead, the campaign offers a combined 150,000 USDC prize pool and runs for 20 days, concluding on Oct. 31, 2026.
The initiative is designed to help onboarding of first-time stock traders while also rewarding users who sustain trading activity throughout the campaign period. The stocks service that the campaign supports allows eligible users to access over 1,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs from the same Bybit account they use for cryptocurrency trading.
Structure of the prize pool
The 150,000 USDC prize pool is divided into four distinct components: a first-trade reward, a daily reward box, a 100,000 USDC Stock Splash trading competition, and a 20,000 USDC leaderboard allocated to Bybit affiliates. Together, these elements create multiple pathways for participants to receive rewards, depending on their level of activity and holdings during the campaign.
Daily reward box
Every day, eligible users who execute more than $2,000 in stock trades are eligible to receive a reward box. Each box can contain up to 50 USDC. This daily mechanic is intended to incentivize consistent trading volume across the 20-day window.
Stock Splash trading competition - 100,000 USDC
The largest portion of the campaign prize pool is the Stock Splash competition, which allocates 100,000 USDC among qualifying participants in proportion to their eligible trading volume. An individual participant has a maximum award cap of 5,000 USDC. To be eligible for the Stock Splash pool, a participant must meet two conditions: trade at least $1,000 in stocks during the campaign, and hold at least $1,000 in stocks at the close of the campaign.
Two multipliers affect the calculation of eligible volume for the Stock Splash competition. First, an early-trading multiplier weights volume traded in the opening days of the campaign more heavily. Volume executed on Days 1 through 5 is counted at 1.4x. This multiplier steps down as the campaign progresses: 1.3x for Days 6 through 10, 1.2x for Days 11 through 15, 1.1x for Days 16 through 18, and 1.0x for Days 19 and 20.
Second, an average holdings multiplier applies based on a participant's average daily stock balance during the campaign. Average holdings between $1,000 and $10,000 earn a 1.1x multiplier. Average holdings between $10,000 and $100,000 qualify for a 1.2x multiplier. Average holdings in excess of $100,000 receive a 1.5x multiplier. These multipliers combine to determine an individual's share of the Stock Splash pool, subject to the 5,000 USDC cap.

Eligible users may register on the Full Stocks Ahead campaign page and begin trading U.S. stocks using the Bybit mobile app or website. The campaign is available to main Bybit accounts located in regions where the platform's stocks trading service is offered. Pro accounts are explicitly excluded from participation. Final holdings for the Stock Splash competition are measured at the close of the campaign on Oct. 31, 2026 at 0:00 UTC.
