According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), the USDH deployer began moving part of its HYPE holdings 12 hours ago: it received approximately 1.01 million HYPE (roughly $72.45 million) from unstaking, then transferred approximately 200,000 HYPE (roughly $15 million) to a new wallet and deposited 200,000 HYPE (roughly $13.76 million) into Flowdesk—of which 120,000 HYPE (roughly $8.25 million) have been sent to Bybit, while the remaining 80,000 HYPE (roughly $5.7 million) are being continuously sold on HyperLiquid.
Bybit’s latest options weekly report states that last week’s core resistance level of $78,000 was fully tested; BTC surged but then faced strong resistance and underwent a sharp correction. Technically, BTC has formed a bearish head-and-shoulders reversal pattern, with the neckline located between $73,500 and $74,000. A confirmed breakdown below this neckline would set an intermediate target of $65,000–$67,000, while $74,000 has become the new key resistance level.
Bybit has launched the Dell Technologies (DELLUSDT) perpetual contract today, offering up to 10x leverage. Dell is a global leader in PCs and servers and a core beneficiary of AI data center infrastructure.

Bybit has announced that, effective June 11, the method for calculating open interest (OI) will change from a bilateral to a unilateral counting approach, and API users are advised to update their API fields accordingly. This change aims to enhance market transparency and align Bybit’s methodology with other crypto derivatives platforms, facilitating cross-platform data comparison for users and analysts alike. Under the new calculation method, the displayed open interest value will decrease, but actual market activity remains unchanged. This adjustment reflects only a change in calculation methodology; individual users’ positions, margin requirements, profit-and-loss calculations, and position limits remain unaffected. Additionally, the system will automatically adjust fees to maintain existing position limit levels. Starting June 11, updated open interest data will be displayed on Bybit’s market data page, trading page, and mobile app. API users must complete their system updates prior to the effective date. Example: For the BTCUSDT perpetual contract, if there are simultaneously 1,000 BTC of long positions and 1,000 BTC of short positions, the displayed open interest will change from 2,000 BTC to 1,000 BTC.

A limited-time fee discount is available upon listing: 0% maker fees and 50% off taker fees—making this an ideal time to position your trades.
Bybit’s latest options weekly report states that BTC rebounded after finding support at the dense $74,000 level last week and is now consolidating near $77,000. A key macro turning point: Nomura has withdrawn its rate-cut expectations, and the CME FedWatch tool shows the probability of a rate hike rising to 60%, completely breaking the “ceasefire → rate cuts → BTC rally” logic chain. Barclays, Goldman Sachs, ING, and JPMorgan all confirm that the rise in long-end yields is driven by three structural factors—debt expansion, AI-related investment, and an increase in the neutral interest rate—unrelated to geopolitical tensions. Bullish catalysts continue to accumulate (SpaceX holding 18,712 BTC, the ARMA reserve proposal, and the CLARITY Act), yet price remains unmoved. DVOL has fallen to ~35%, a historical extreme; no strategy is recommended for now—await DVOL’s recovery above 45% before entering.
It is reported that Bybit has today launched perpetual contracts for Qualcomm (QCOMUSDT) and Nebius Group (NBISUSDT), offering up to 10x leverage. Qualcomm is the global leader in mobile chipsets, while Nebius focuses on AI infrastructure and cloud computing—both are prominent assets in currently hot sectors. A limited-time fee discount is available upon listing: 0% maker fees and 50% off taker fees—making this an ideal opportunity for TradFi asset traders to position themselves.

It is reported that Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA) saw its stock price drop nearly 5% in a single day following the release of its FY2026 Q4 earnings report on May 15. While revenue showed modest growth, profitability deteriorated sharply: Non-GAAP EPS stood at just $0.09, adjusted EBITDA contracted approximately 84% year-on-year, and quarterly free cash flow turned negative at $2.5 billion. Management attributed the losses to intense capital expenditures during the AI-First strategic transformation—specifically, procurement of AI computing power, expansion of data centers, and subsidies for instant delivery services—all occurring simultaneously and significantly compressing short-term profit margins. Ongoing U.S.-China tech tensions and persistent uncertainty surrounding AI chip export controls have further amplified market pessimism. The stock fell nearly 5% today.
Bybit has officially launched its new “Hold USD1 to Earn Tokens” campaign. Users only need to complete Level 1 KYC verification and hold at least 1 USD1 in their Bybit account to share daily WLFI rewards—no subscription or lock-up required; rewards are earned simply by holding.

WLFI is the governance token of the World Liberty Financial ecosystem, enabling holders to participate in protocol governance and influence the ecosystem’s strategic direction.

During the campaign, the system will take a snapshot of each user’s eligible USD1 balance once every hour—24 snapshots per day.

According to CoinGecko data, BILL has demonstrated consistently strong performance since its launch, rising from an opening price of approximately $0.005 to a peak of $0.227—a cumulative maximum increase of over 45x. Yesterday, its 24-hour global trading volume exceeded $2.18 billion, with the Bybit BILL/USDT trading pair standing out—accounting for over $1.68 billion, or more than 77%, of the total volume, maintaining its position as the top-performing trading pair on centralized exchanges (CEX).
Odaily, Web3 security firm CertiK has released the "Skynet North Korean Crypto Threat Report." Data shows that since 2016, North Korean hacking groups have accumulated approximately $6.75 billion in stolen digital assets. In 2025 alone, their thefts amounted to $2.06 billion in losses, accounting for nearly 60% of the total annual losses in the global crypto industry (including the $1.5 billion Bybit hack). As of early 2026, this threat trend continues, with losses attributable to them making up about 55%.The report emphasizes that the North Korean hackers' attack patterns have fundamentally shifted, evolving from mere code vulnerability exploitation into a state-level attack system combining social engineering, deep supply chain attacks, and 'physical infiltration.' In the recent Drift protocol incident, attackers even spent six months infiltrating offline industry conferences, building trust through real financial transactions and personal interactions before launching the attack.CertiK security experts warn that in the face of such systemic attacks, purely technical defenses are proving inadequate. Crypto institutions urgently need to fully implement a 'zero-trust' hiring model, reinforce third-party supply chains, establish fund circuit breaker mechanisms, and collaborate with professional security firms to build a full lifecycle defense system covering code auditing, round-the-clock risk monitoring, and on-chain anti-money laundering/KYT (Know Your Transaction) fund tracking.
According to Bybit’s latest options weekly report, the implied volatility indicator DVOL has further declined to an extreme historical low of 37–41%, marking the lowest reading since the outbreak of the current conflict. The report notes that the current DVOL level is exceptionally rare in BTC’s history; low volatility often precedes major price moves rather than signaling their conclusion. Combined with a technical ascending wedge pattern and persistently negative funding rates, these three signals collectively suggest that the derivatives market is poised for a directional shift—though price action has yet to confirm the specific nature of this move, prompting the report to advise investors to maintain close observation.
It is reported that Bybit today launched perpetual contracts for three popular AI-related stocks: CoreWeave (CRWV), Lumentum Holdings (LITE), and Broadcom (AVGO), offering traders tracking AI market trends more new options.

Bybit’s contracts support USDT margin, allow both long and short positions, and remain tradable even when U.S. equities markets are closed.
