Bybit has added pre-IPO perpetual contracts for Unitree Robotics and Moonshot AI, two private companies in the AI and robotics space. The contracts – UNITREEUSDT and MOONSHOTUSDT – are USDT-settled derivatives that give traders leveraged exposure to the firms' estimated valuations before a public listing. Neither company has endorsed the instruments.
The crypto exchange's TradFi perpetuals lineup now exceeds 200 products, covering equities, ETFs, commodities, and indices alongside these pre-IPO names. Bybit launched the category in April 2026 and has expanded rapidly. Adding private-company contracts is the most aggressive move so far: it lets the exchange facilitate price discovery for assets that have no public-market price.
Moonshot AI's contract went live around Aug. 7 with up to 10x leverage. Unitree Robotics was added in the same batch. The instruments are not tokenized equity – there is no blockchain-native asset. Bybit is creating a derivative that tracks a perceived private valuation, settled entirely in the USDT stablecoin.
