Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, has expanded its MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform to include indices trading with USDT, offering users access to major global benchmarks. This move bridges the gap between the cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets, allowing traders to diversify their portfolios and explore cross-asset strategies.
The new feature gives Bybit users the ability to trade Contracts for Difference (CFDs) on major global indices, such as the China A50 Index Cash CFD (USD), Hang Seng Index Cash CFD (HKD), Dow Jones Index Cash CFD (USD), NAS100 Cash, and Nikkei Index Cash CFD (JPY). Traders can now use USDT to trade these indices directly, all within a platform built around the needs of crypto-native users. Bybit MT5 offers real-time data, customizable tools, advanced analytics, and competitive fees, making it a robust solution for traders looking to expand their strategies across markets.
In conjunction with the launch of indices trading, Bybit has introduced the Gold & FX Quest, a promotion aimed at both new and existing traders on the MT5 platform. The promotion offers participants a chance to win over 1,000 USDT in rewards through two events:
-
Event 1: New Trader Perk – A prize pool of 20,000 USDT available for new users who trade indices and other assets on the platform.
-
Event 2: Big Trader Rewards – Open to all users, offering additional rewards for high trading volumes.
This promotion highlights Bybit's effort to encourage users to explore its newly added indices trading feature, with access to 17 global indices and over 100 trading pairs. Bybit is expanding its regulatory compliances around the globe, further contributing to its accessibility across many different nations. Read more in our full Bybit review.
