Bybit Launches Institutional Strategy Championship With Access to Minimum $1 Million in Interest-Free Capital

Bybit has opened registration for an Institutional Strategy Championship, co-hosted with institutional platform 1Token, offering participants minimum interest-free capital of $1 million (potentially up to $10 million) to deploy Delta-neutral, Dollar-neutral and Directional strategies. Running June 1–Aug 31, 2026 (registration through May 31) with onboarding and loan support for qualifying institutional and VIP clients, the program is designed to drive institutional participation, testing of sophisticated strategies, and deeper on-exchange liquidity. Bybit’s capital support and structured evaluation framework may boost trading volumes and institutional onboarding in crypto markets, potentially increasing BTC trading flows and market depth; organizers emphasize anti-manipulation rules and collateral/position minimums to mitigate abuse.
