For Bybit, 2025 wasn’t a year of smooth markets or easy wins. It was a year defined by pressure—and how the exchange responded to it.
Crypto markets opened 2026 slightly up after months of stagnation. Bitcoin rose about 2% to $89,400, approaching the $90,000 level it hasn’t reliably held since early December. Ethereum climbed 2% back above $3,000, while Solana outperformed with a 3% gain. XRP and Dogecoin also moved higher.
Bitcoin slipped again this week, extending a stretch of subdued price action that has kept the market range-bound for weeks. On the surface, the move looks uneventful—another small dip in an already quiet market. But as Barron’s recently noted, this period of stagnation may be less about weakness and more about transition.
