Bybit Expands Gold & FX Offering with USDT-Denominated Stock Trading
Bybit has introduced direct trading of 78 global stocks using USDT, marking a significant expansion of its Gold & FX (MT5) services. The offering spans major corporations across technology, automotive, energy, and e-commerce sectors—including Apple, Tesla, Meta, Nvidia, Amazon, and Microsoft—accessible without fiat conversion.
The exchange positions this move as bridging traditional and crypto markets, enabling seamless multi-asset trading through Contracts for Difference (CFDs). "Users can now tap into stocks, gold, oil, indices, and forex without leaving the crypto ecosystem," the announcement stated, framing it as a unification of diverse asset classes under one platform.
Discounted trading fees accompany the launch, reinforcing Bybit’s competitive stance in crypto-native capital markets access. The development reflects growing demand for unified trading interfaces that erase traditional asset class boundaries.
TRON Surpasses Ethereum in USDT Transaction Volume with $23B Daily Movement in 2025
TRON has emerged as the dominant blockchain for stablecoin transactions, particularly Tether (USDT), according to CryptoQuant research. The network now processes $23.4 billion in daily USDT volume—eclipsing Ethereum’s activity—while maintaining a $75.8 billion supply. With 2.4 million daily transactions versus Ethereum’s 284,000, TRON’s low fees and rapid settlement have positioned it as the de facto layer for stablecoin payments.
The 2025 data reveals staggering adoption: 283 million USDT transfers year-to-date underscore TRON’s strategic pivot toward becoming the backbone of crypto payments. This growth reflects broader industry trends where efficiency trumps legacy network effects in stablecoin utility.
USDC Volume Hits New High – Is Tether’s Stablecoin Market Share at Risk?
USDC trading volume surged to a record $219 billion in April 2025, more than doubling its January 2024 figure of $106.5 billion, according to Kaiko Research. The growth was fueled by Binance, which accounted for 57% of global USDC volume following a strategic partnership with Circle in December 2024.
USDC’s market share among stablecoins on Binance has nearly doubled from 10% to 20% since late 2023, while USDT’s dominance on the exchange has declined. The shift highlights intensifying competition in the stablecoin sector, with institutional and retail traders increasingly diversifying their stablecoin holdings.
