Bybit has launched US stock perpetual contracts tied to six major American equities, adding UNH, GE, JPM, GILD, AMGN and REGN to its derivatives lineup as the exchange deepens its push into stock-linked trading products.
The listing was confirmed in a Bybit announcement detailing its first batch of US stock perpetual contracts. The move gives traders on the platform access to price exposure on well-known US companies through a familiar crypto-native instrument.
Which Stock Contracts Are Included in the Rollout
The newly listed perpetual contracts cover six US-listed tickers: UNH, GE, JPM, GILD, AMGN and REGN. Each contract references the underlying stock, allowing traders to take long or short positions without holding the equity itself.
The six names span healthcare, financials and biotech, a mix consistent with Bybit’s earlier equity-linked listings such as its SMH, XBI and XLE stock perpetual contracts.
What US Stock Perpetual Contracts Mean for Traders
Perpetual contracts are derivatives that track an underlying asset’s price but carry no expiry date, letting positions stay open indefinitely. In this case, the underlying assets are the six named US stocks rather than a cryptocurrency.
For traders, this means they can gain directional exposure to companies like JPM or GILD using the same trading interface they already use for crypto derivatives. Bybit describes the broader category on its TradFi perpetual contracts resource.
Why Bybit’s Expansion Into Stock-Linked Products Matters
The launch extends Bybit’s range of tradable products beyond crypto into equity-referenced instruments. It follows the exchange’s earlier move to bring traditional-finance assets onto its platform, including 24/7 stock and ETF trading.
The addition is relevant for traders who watch both crypto and equity markets, since it consolidates access to both in one venue. Bybit has been steadily expanding this catalog, having previously rolled out US stock and ETF perpetual contracts and a SKHY stock perpetual contract.
