Bybit has temporarily halted trading of products linked to the CME Group’s futures markets for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). This disruption, announced in November 2025, stems from a technical issue affecting CME Globex. The halt impacts institutional traders who use these products, but it hasn’t affected the broader crypto or DeFi sectors. Analysts believe this highlights vulnerabilities in centralized trading platforms. While there haven’t been updates on Bybit executives, the company confirmed the product unavailability on its TradFi platform. The move follows a similar pattern seen with past CME market disruptions, where trading resumed after temporary glitches without lasting market impact.
