Bybit has launched perpetual contracts for NFLX, BSP and TTWO, expanding its derivatives lineup with three new instruments tied to traditional finance and digital asset tickers.
The exchange confirmed the new listings through its official announcements page, adding the three perpetual contract pairs to its trading platform. The products are derivatives, not spot listings, meaning traders can take leveraged long or short positions without holding the underlying assets.

Perpetual contracts differ from traditional futures in that they have no expiry date. Traders can hold positions indefinitely, with periodic funding rate payments balancing long and short demand. The addition of NFLX, BSP and TTWO gives market participants new instruments to express directional views on these tickers.

The launch is relevant for derivatives-focused traders looking to diversify beyond the most liquid crypto perpetual pairs. New listings typically start with thinner order books and wider spreads, which can create both opportunity and risk in the early trading sessions.
Bybit's move to list these contracts comes as exchanges compete to offer broader derivatives menus. Other platforms have similarly expanded their perpetual offerings, with Binance recently launching its OUSDT perpetual contract with up to 10x leverage.
Anyone considering the new perpetuals should check the contract detail page on Bybit for specifics on maximum leverage, margin mode, tick size and minimum order size. These parameters vary between contracts and directly affect position sizing and liquidation risk.
Funding rates on newly launched contracts can be volatile in the first days of trading as the market establishes equilibrium between longs and shorts. Traders should monitor funding intervals and rates closely, as elevated funding can erode returns on positions held over multiple funding periods.
Liquidity is another key consideration. Freshly listed perpetual contracts may have limited market depth compared to established pairs. This can lead to higher slippage on larger orders, particularly during volatile market conditions.
Derivatives trading carries inherent liquidation risk. Leveraged positions can be closed automatically if the margin balance falls below the maintenance requirement. Bybit's risk parameters for each contract, including insurance fund mechanics and auto-deleveraging rules, should be reviewed before trading.
Listing multiple perpetual contracts simultaneously suggests Bybit is actively building out its derivatives catalog. Exchanges typically add new instruments to attract trading volume and retain users who might otherwise move to platforms with broader product coverage.
The strategy is part of a competitive dynamic across the derivatives exchange landscape. As other exchanges have pushed into traditional finance trading products, the line between crypto-native and TradFi derivatives continues to blur.
Bybit has also been active on other fronts, including listing SNDK through Bybit Alpha and Byreal, signaling a broader push to expand available trading pairs across its platform.
The exchange has navigated regulatory challenges in multiple jurisdictions, including stopping crypto trading services for EEA users, which makes its continued product expansion in permitted markets a notable strategic choice.
