Dubai, UAE - Bybit has launched the Bybit P2P Verified Advertiser Growth Program, a structured, multi-cycle initiative designed to accelerate merchant onboarding and activity for sellers seeking Verified Advertiser Plus (VA+) status on the exchange's peer-to-peer marketplace.
The program offers performance-based incentives distributed every two weeks. Eligible participants can receive rewards of 100 USDT, 200 USDT, or 400 USDT based on their results within each evaluation period. The payments are routed via the Bybit Rewards Hub and must be claimed manually by qualifying merchants.
Eligibility and geographic scope
The initiative targets several merchant groups: merchants who are new Verified Advertisers (VA) on Bybit P2P; existing merchants upgrading from tiers such as General Advertiser (GA) to VA; and merchants who already maintain VA+ status on other cryptocurrency exchanges but have not previously succeeded in a VA application on Bybit. A clear qualification condition is that applicants must not have any prior successful VA application on Bybit.
The program is open globally with specific regional exceptions. It excludes participants located in the Middle East and South Asia. Participation is by selection only - merchants interested in joining must complete a registration process and state their primary trading currency. Those chosen for the program will be contacted directly by the Bybit P2P team for formal enrollment.
Operational requirements and performance criteria
Each program round runs on a two-week cycle. During that period participants are required to maintain VA+ merchant status and satisfy explicit trading activity benchmarks. The merchant requirements include keeping at least two active advertisements live on the P2P marketplace, with one of those advertisements explicitly offering USDT for sale. Advertisements must be active for a minimum of 50 hours per week, and must remain active for at least six hours each weekday from Monday through Friday.
Merchants can participate in up to two program rounds in total to broaden onboarding reach while capping individual exposure to incentives. Performance is evaluated bi-weekly and rewards are issued only to merchants who meet the program thresholds during each evaluation window. Participants who fail to meet requirements in a given period will not receive that period's incentive.
Distribution and administrative details
Rewards are disbursed through the Bybit Rewards Hub, where qualifying merchants must manually claim their payments. The two-week review cadence provides frequent feedback and payout opportunities, aligning merchant activity with the platform's VA+ expectations. Selection-based enrollment, the regional exclusions, the limit of two participations per merchant, and the condition that applicants lack prior VA approval on Bybit are explicit controls governing the program's scope and reach.
