Gold prices surged past $3,100 per ounce, solidifying its status as a safe-haven asset amidst global market volatility. Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, recognizes this trend and continues to provide seamless access to diverse financial opportunities for traders. Shunyet Jan, Head of Derivatives and Institutions at Bybit, predicts sustained gold price growth driven by several key factors: strategic central bank purchases of gold as a diversifying measure, geopolitical uncertainty fueled by tariffs and ongoing conflicts, and gold’s traditional role as an inflation hedge. These dynamics have driven a significant surge in gold trading volume on the platform, with Bybit reaching $10 billion in gold trading volume in just one day. 2024 saw the launch of Gold & FX Trading, followed by Copy Trading for Gold & FX in January 2025, democratizing access to traditional markets. This innovative approach has contributed to Bybit’s popularity with a notable increase in $10 billion gold trading volume on a single day. Today’s launch of XAUTUSDT perpetual contracts adds further opportunities for traders in a crypto-native environment. “Bybit’s strategic integration of Gold & FX, combined with our innovative Copy Trading, demonstrates our commitment to empowering traders with diverse and accessible opportunities,” commented Shunyet Jan. 2025 marks Bybit’s commitment to bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi) by providing a platform that empowers users with new opportunities in gold trading.
