New products, a broader financial platform and a closer look at Bybit AI are on the agenda when Ben Zhou takes the virtual stage on October 13.
Bybit’s co-founder and CEO will deliver “Make Your Move,” a global keynote livestreaming at 7 a.m. UTC, outlining the company’s direction as crypto trading, traditional markets, stablecoins and payments increasingly overlap.
Bybit says viewers will get first looks at upcoming launches. For the platform’s reported 80 million-plus users, the reason to tune in is practical: finding out what they may soon be able to access, how the new services connect and where intelligent tools fit into the experience.
What Is Coming Beyond Crypto Trading?
Founded in 2018 as a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, Bybit has expanded into spot trading, futures, options, multi-asset investment products, institutional custody, structured wealth products and payments.
Zhou’s keynote will address how those services fit within what Bybit calls its “New Financial Platform.” The agenda also includes the growing connections between crypto, traditional markets, stablecoins and real-world assets.
As explored in Blockster’s crypto exchange guide, the competition now extends across investing, earning, borrowing, spending and automated trading.
Bybit’s traditional-market offering already includes more than 250 perpetual pairs spanning equities, commodities and ETFs, according to the guide’s September snapshot. These are derivatives that provide price exposure, rather than conventional shares held through a brokerage.

What to watch for: which products Zhou previews, how they build on existing services and whether Bybit provides launch dates and regional availability. Those details will help users distinguish the longer-term roadmap from features they can start using soon.
How Will Bybit AI Fit Into the Experience?
Bybit AI is another central theme. Zhou is expected to discuss its role in helping users discover and navigate financial markets and services.
That becomes more relevant as the platform’s product range grows. More choices can mean more menus, unfamiliar instruments and decisions about where to put funds. Tools that explain those choices or simplify navigation could make a broader platform easier to use.
Bybit already has an AI Hub for connected agents and dedicated subaccounts that separate agent trading funds and permissions from other balances, as covered in Blockster’s guide.
What to watch for: demonstrations of what Bybit AI can actually do, how assistance connects with execution and which decisions remain under the user’s control.
What Supports the Expansion?
The keynote will also cover global expansion, security, risk management and regulatory foundations.
These subjects have direct implications for users. They affect which services are available in a particular market, how funds are managed and what controls apply when more financial activity happens through one platform.
What to watch for: concrete details about market access, safeguards and the infrastructure supporting new services. Bybit has outlined these themes, while leaving the specific product reveals for the keynote.
