Global impact / market context
This lets traders bet on stock prices at any hour, even when traditional markets are closed. Bybit's move could draw more crypto users into stock trading, potentially increasing trading volume and revenue for the exchange.

Crypto exchanges are expanding beyond digital assets into traditional stocks. Offering options on SpaceX, a private company, and Nvidia, a major chipmaker, may appeal to investors seeking flexible, round-the-clock exposure without needing a standard brokerage account.

What to watch
- The exact start date is September 17, so watch for Bybit's official announcement and platform updates to confirm the listing details and any trading rules. Confirmed
- Investors should monitor how these options trade in the first week, including volume and price stability, to gauge demand and potential impact on Nvidia's stock volatility. Proposed
- If successful, Bybit may add more stock perpetuals with options, which could increase competition with traditional exchanges and affect trading fees and cash available in the broader market. Analyst inference
