Alright, you ever see a casino let you put your house, your car, and your grandmother’s jewelry on a single spin? No?

Well, Bybit’s about to let you do just that, except with gold, oil, and Apple stock, all at 500x leverage.

You blink and you’re either rich or you’re out faster than a wise guy who forgot to pay his debts.

Speculation

Bybit’s boss, Ben Zhou, just announced the exchange is opening the floodgates to traditional assets.

By the end of the quarter, you’ll be able to trade stock indexes, gold, crude oil, even heavy hitters like Apple and Microsoft, right alongside your favorite crypto tokens.

And gold on MT5? Yeah, 500x leverage. That’s enough to make even the most seasoned trader sweat through their silk suit.

Now, some people are calling this a masterstroke. They say it’ll lure in the Wall Street crowd, the old-school traders who like their suits pressed and their risks calculated. Others? They’re not so sure.

“Feels like TradFi and crypto are getting so cozy, you can’t tell ‘em apart anymore,” one user quipped. And let’s be honest, when the lines blur, sometimes you get innovation. But sometimes you get chaos.

Comeback

But let’s not forget the skeletons in the closet. Remember February 2025? Bybit got whacked, hard. North Korea’s Lazarus group slipped in and made off with $1.5 billion in Ether, the biggest crypto heist in history.

They hit Bybit’s cold wallets, rerouted the loot, and laundered it so fast, even the Feds were left scratching their heads. For a minute, Bybit’s reputation was on the ropes. Market share?

Down to 4%. But like any good underdog, they clawed their way back. Security got tighter, liquidity improved, and now they’re sitting pretty at 7% market share, right back where they started.

Decisions

Bybit’s not just about wild bets, though. Earlier this year, they rolled out Copy Trading Gold&FX, letting users mirror big-league strategies in gold and forex, using USDT as collateral.

They say it’s about smarter trading, risk management, and giving the little guy a shot at the big time.

And they’re not stopping there. Zhou’s shaking hands with Vietnamese regulators, promising to help build a crypto sandbox for safer, smarter trading.

It’s all about trust, transparency, and making sure the next heist isn’t on their watch. So, is Bybit’s new play a stroke of genius or a recipe for disaster? Maybe a little bit of both. Be careful!
