The Bybit Exchange team was represented by @kirbyongeo and @BybitFlora. They both judiciously shared with us detailed knowledge and information about the project.
INTRODUCTION
Host : Can you please briefly introduce about yourself and Bybit Exchange ?
Kirby : Hi everyone, thank you for having me today. I am Kirby, a community manager from Bybit and together with me today is Flora, who is also a community manager.
Anyway, for those of you who have not heard of Bybit before, Bybit is one of the fastest growing cryptocurrency derivatives exchanges, with more than 1.2 million registered users. Built on customer-centric values, we endeavor to provide a professional, smart, intuitive and innovative trading experience to better serve our customers in a timely manner. We are committed to creating a fair, transparent and efficient trading environment, and offer 24/7 multi-language support as part of our service.
Host : What interesting features are Bybit advantages and that differentiate it from other crypto platforms so we need to try Bybit?
Flora : Lets look at each factor one by one:
💵 Fees — Bybit is actually one of the few top major exchanges that offers trading fee rebate of 0.025%. For example, if you were to put a $10,000 order that sits on our orderbook, and when the order gets filled, you will receive $2.50 , instead of having to pay fees. Moreover, we frequently run massive promotions for our clients. For now, all new users can sign up to our platform and get up to $90 worth of bonuses, which can significantly lower their trading fees.
⌛️ Liquidity & Volume — We have extremely good liquidity, as endorsed by credible data platform such as Skew. On top of that, Bybit does about 500 million - 1 billion 24H per day , and we are ranked top 5 in terms of crypto-derivative exchange in the industry. Users who have tried out Bybit often comment that the experience when trading on Bybit is very different from other exchange. Their orders will be filled much faster, and there are much lesser scam wicks due to our good liquidity.
🛠 Fund Safety & Security — Our funds are stored 100% in a multi-sig cold wallet system. This means that hackers will never be able to hack our wallet. The downside is the slower withdrawal time of 3 times a day, however, this ensures that your funds are always safe with us.
🚨 Server Uptime — Never miss a trade. Bybit have no server downtimes due to our grey-release feature where we can release updates on-the-fly. You will never encounter any server maintenance issue on Bybit. Even on March 12 extreme volatile period, where bitcoin crashed from 10k to 3k USD, Bybit remained as one of the most stable platform in the market.
Host : How is Bybit different from similar exchanges like snapex etc?
Flora ONE SPECIAL ADVANTAGE of Bybit is that we do not do any KYC.
NO KYC — For those people who are more sensitive about your privacy (and that’s why we are in the Crypto), we are the top NON-KYC crypto derivative exchange available right now. We do not track who you are, and what you do, ensuring that our traders have the top privacy
Host : Just noticed that Bybit has introduced 4 New USDT Trading Pairs, can you tell us more?
Kirby : Oh yes for sure, we’ve added 4 more USDT pairs: ETH/USDT, LINK/USDT, LTC/USDT, and XTZ/USDT on the 21st October, and there will be even more pairs as we go along.
We are now holding a massive promotion for those 4 USDT pairs! 📣 📣 📣
Users who input the voucher code USDT30%OFF in the Bybit Rewards Hub will:
✅ Enjoy 30% off trading fees for ALL USDT pairs
✅ Automatically qualify for the Supersized Discount Draw and stand to supersize their trading fee discount to 66% (up from 30%)
Host : Nice! How should our community check more details for the campaign information and enter the Bybit Rewards Hub?
Kirby : Check more Details 👉🏽 Bybit Announcement: https://bit.ly/3oPQH6o
30%OFF coupon 👉🏽 Bybit Reward Hub: https://bit.ly/384zsIH
Host : Can you tell us more about the minimum withdrawal requirement?
Flora : Our min. withdrawal amount required for BTC is 0.002 BTC (~$20USD). For ETH/XRP, it is ~$6 USD, and for USDT is $50. This is because we are using a batch transfer system, given that different blockchain have different network, so the fees will be different, hence the minimum withdrawal for USDT will be higher compared to other coin types. However, if many traders are affected by the min. withdrawal requirement, then we will look into it and adjust accordingly.
Host : With trading volume in the top 5 in the world, what did Bybit do to grow in such a short time?
Flora : Bybit has always been very product focused. We saw a pain point when we first started in 2018 where traders were unable to get their orders executed sucessfully. There were too many server overloads, or server downtime issue. This problem is never seen in the Forex Market. Hence, we built our trading engine from scratch, to ensure that there will be No Downtime, NO Server Overloads.
We also incorporated many useful trading features on our platform (such as the ability for traders to set Take Profit/SL), which traders enjoy and use, and hence they stick to our platform.
Host : In the near future, is Bybit planning to develop Defi trading pairs like Binance and FTX to keep up with the trend?
Kirby : Yes, we have a dedicated product team that actually been monitoring the DeFi scene closely to evaluate the risks and trends for our users. We have plans to add new Defi trading pairs, like UNI, SUSHI etc. We will definitely listen to what our users want to see and we will add those trading pairs.
Host : Can you briefly explain how the Top milestones that the Bybit team aims to execute before the end of this year or going to execute in future, will help them succeed and What Bybit may look like in 2020 and beyond ?
Kirby : This is a good strategic question.
Long-term, we aim to be the first crypto exchange that comes to people mind when they want to do leveraged trading. We need to build a strong brand reputation and make users enjoy trading on our platform.
Some milestones which Bybit aim to achieve by the end of 2020 is:
✅ Make trading smart and simple. Users would have a much easier learning curve when trading on Bybit. This is achieved through better UI/UX support, better customer support, more educational webinars/seminars hosted for our users to learn how to trade.
✅ Open Interest and Volume to exceed our closest competitors
✅ Achieve 1.5 million registered users on our platform (Right now, we have about 1.3 million registered users)
In 2020 and Beyond, you can see Bybit as the super strong crypto-derivative exchange. We are laser focused on Crypto-derivatives, have a team of over 300+ and growing employees to improve on our product. Imagine you can deposit Bitcoin, and trade not just the crypto pairs that we have, but also, forex, stocks, on our platform.
Host : #Bybit is a commercial platform established since March 2018, to date, what is the most important achievement you have as a team?
