Bybit adds 22 assets to interest-free borrowing under its UTA loan program, covering BTC, ETH, SOL, and others. Limits scale with VIP tier.
Bybit, the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, now lets traders borrow against 22 additional assets without interest under its Unified Trading Account loan program. The expansion adds Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano, and 17 others to the existing Tether and USDC coverage, bringing the total to 24.
The interest-free feature kicks in automatically when unrealized losses on Perpetual or Futures positions trigger borrowing within the UTA framework. Traders face no interest charges as long as the borrowed amount stays under the applicable limit. Manual borrowing, Spot Margin borrowing, and Options borrowing remain excluded. If the borrowed amount exceeds the limit for a given asset, interest applies to the full balance.
Borrowing capacity scales with VIP tier. Higher tiers unlock larger interest-free limits. Each account, including subaccounts, is assessed independently, so traders running multiple accounts get separate limits rather than a shared cap.
Limits are pegged to the dollar-equivalent value of the borrowed asset at real-time prices and may shift with market conditions. Bybit said it will give advance notice before any change.
The move comes as exchanges compete for derivatives volume. Bybit has leaned into zero-fee and low-cost structures to attract professional traders. Expanding interest-free borrowing on margin loans could deepen usage of its perpetual and futures products without adding direct cost to users.
