Dubai’s Bybit cryptocurrency exchange launches 24/5 trading for select stock CFDs, expanding from 6.5 daily hours to reduce timezone barriers for global traders.
Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has extended trading hours on its TradFi platform for its stock contract for difference (CFD) products. Going forward, select CFD offerings have been made available for trading 24 hours a day, Monday-Friday.
Bybit offers several CFDs, which allow traders to speculate on an asset’s price movement without owning it. According to a press release from Bybit, 24/5 trading will be offered on select CFDs in batches, with the first 20 available under the extended trading framework starting Sept. 23.
According to the press release, the firm says it previously offered CFDs on its TradFi platform for approximately 6.5 hours a day during normal business hours. The extended hours are meant to “reduce time-zone limitations and open participation to a wider base of traders.”
Bybit also announced that it is waiving trading fees on stock CFDs and indices through Oct. 11, 2025 on its TradFi platform. Eligible users can trade global indices including CHINA50, CHINAH, HK50, HKTECH, and TWINDEX and stock CFDs such as CRCL, COIN, MSTR, BMNR, SBET, as well as technology equities including NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, GOOG, and INTC at zero transaction cost.

Bybit’s expanded trading hours for CFDs and increased support for Mantle appear to be well in line with the firm’s ongoing expansion into the DeFi market. Back in June, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou announced “Byreal,” an on-chain DEX built on Solana. Byreal’s testnet launched on June 30 with its mainnet slated for a Q3 launch.
