Bybit expanded its lineup of tokenized-stock perpetual contracts in a single day, listing five new pairs that give crypto traders synthetic exposure to a mix of Chinese consumer, semiconductor and AI-linked companies.
The exchange first listed POPMARTUSDT and GIGADEVICEUSDT, tracking collectible-toy maker Pop Mart and chipmaker GigaDevice, before adding TENCENTUSDT, MINIMAXUSDT and ZHIPUUSDT a short time later on the same day, tracking Tencent, AI company MiniMax and AI model developer Zhipu.
A single-day rollout of TradFi perpetuals
Bybit has branded this category of products "TradFi Perpetual Contracts," positioning them as part of what it calls its push toward becoming a "New Financial Platform" that blends crypto derivatives trading with exposure to traditional and pre-IPO-adjacent companies. Listing five names in one day signals an aggressive expansion pace for the product line, adding both consumer-facing names like Pop Mart and harder-to-access AI companies like MiniMax and Zhipu that retail traders outside China typically can't easily buy shares in directly.
Why the AI and China exposure stands out
The inclusion of MiniMax and Zhipu is notable because both are privately held Chinese AI model developers rather than publicly traded companies, meaning Bybit's perpetual contracts offer traders synthetic price exposure that wouldn't otherwise be available through conventional brokerages. Tencent and GigaDevice, by contrast, are established publicly traded companies, giving the batch of listings a mix of accessible blue-chip names alongside speculative exposure to private AI firms.
