This article will introduce you to USDT-settled crypto perpetuals, and explain how they work and how you can start trading them. No worries — we'll guide you through each step you need to take to get started with USDT perpetual futures trading on Bybit.

What Are USDT Perpetual Futures Contracts?

 are crypto perpetuals settled in Tether USD (USDT), a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar (USD).

 As derivatives, cryptocurrency perpetuals enable you to trade an underlying asset like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) without an expiration date. While you are obliged to buy or sell traditional futures at expiration, you can hold crypto perpetual contracts indefinitely.

Crypto perpetuals allow you to use leverage to amplify your potential returns and keep your positions open for indefinite periods. They also offer you the flexibility to profit from both upward and downward price movements with long and short trades. Perpetual futures trading can also help you hedge against market risks without owning the underlying asset.

On Bybit, all settlements, margin, and profit and loss (P&L) calculations are denominated in USDT for linear USDT perpetuals. On the other hand, 

, which you can use to generate returns when crypto prices fall, are settled in the underlying asset.

Tether USD (USDT) is the leading stablecoin by market capitalization. As of May 8, 2025, it 

 a $149.5 billion market cap, and a $27.54 billion trading volume in the past 24 hours. USDT is issued and managed by the British Virgin Islands–based Tether Limited. It's owned by iFinex Inc, the same company that operates the Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange.

USDT is a fiat-pegged stablecoin that closely follows the price of the U.S. dollar. To ensure the stablecoin's price stability, Tether maintains physical reserves, of which nearly 84% is

How Do USDT-Settled Crypto Perpetuals Work?

, crypto perpetuals don't have an expiration date, and can be held indefinitely. Since they don't expire, no physical delivery of the underlying asset is necessary. Instead, perpetual contracts are settled in cash, and their primary purpose is to enable traders to speculate on crypto prices without owning the underlying asset. On Bybit, settlement takes place in the USDT stablecoin for USDT perpetuals, and USDC for 

Because they lack an expiration date, crypto perpetuals rely on the funding rate mechanism to track the underlying asset's price. The funding rate can be positive or negative, and can change based on how close the futures price is to the spot price.

A positive funding rate indicates an overall bullish market sentiment. When the futures price is trading at a higher level than the spot price, buyers (longs) are required to pay sellers (shorts) the funding amount. In contrast, a negative funding rate is generally a signal of bearish market sentiment. Here, longs pay shorts the funding amount (as the futures price is lower than the spot price).

 has the potential to become the most disruptive technology that humanity has witnessed. However, some believe that in order to fully utilize this cutting-edge technology and prevent it from being controlled by a few large players, AI has to be fully decentralized. Dark Eclipse aims to do just that by leveraging trusted execution environments (TEEs). 

The project allows developers to build, train and deploy 

 that can autonomously interact with each other and evolve on their own. In this article, we’ll explore Dark Eclipse’s technology, use cases and tokenomics and show you how you can trade DARK on Bybit.

Dark Eclipse has been spearheaded by Edgar Pavlovsky, co-founder of 

, one of the biggest liquidity layer protocols on Solana. Pavlovsky 

DARK leverages Solana’s high-speed, low-cost transactions to support real-time interactions. Pavlovsky believes Dark Eclipse’s AI can enhance gaming by dynamically adapting to player behavior by increasing or decreasing gaming difficulty and generating personalized content. 

For example, an AI agent could use Dark Eclipse’s MCP to integrate real-time data from the game (e.g., player progress), and execute secure computations in a TEE to tailor the gaming experience (such as spawning enemies or updating storylines). In order to understand this better, let's delve deeper into TEE and MCP. 

A TEE is a secure zone in which sensitive computations occur in isolation. In DARK games, TEEs ensure that AI workloads remain tamperproof and secure. This technology can be used to safeguard critical computational data, be it gaming-related information or DeFi transaction details. 

 divides computational tasks into smaller, parallelizable modules that can be executed across the network. This modularity is critical for scaling AI-driven applications. By dividing a task into separate chunks, the protocol can use the processing power of thousands of nodes across the network, which can bring a level of scaling that’s difficult to achieve through a centralized structure. With Dark Eclipse, both MCP and TEEs work together to create a secure, scalable gaming ecosystem.

As of May 7, 2025, DARK is trading at $0.01370. Since DARK was launched on

Dark Eclipse (DARK): Novel AI network using TEE tech

In our latest Learn 101 livestream session, crypto experts shared insights on the shifting dynamics of the stablecoin ecosystem.

 are making a comeback, but this time, the competition is heating up. While 

 continues to dominate the market, a new wave of 

 is emerging, each with its own proposition. From institutional-backed tokens to 

, the race is on to determine which stablecoin will take the lead. What sets these newcomers apart — and could any of them realistically challenge USDT’s throne?

, we tackle the big question: Newcomers vs. USDT: Who Will Win?

, provides a recap of our Learn 101 livestreams, offering you comprehensive expertise and insights from leading figures in the crypto industry in case you miss the livestream.

Joining the livestream on Apr 24, 2025, were two distinguished guests: Paz Gonzalez, trader and founder of 

magazine, and Jip Molenaar, full-time trader and co-founder of Tribe Capital. Under the moderation of Sabrina Chua, Crypto Evangelist and Senior Content Strategist at Bybit, this episode takes a deep dive into the shifting dynamics of the stablecoin ecosystem.

Why the world is suddenly crazy about stablecoins

Stablecoins are once again making headlines — but what’s driving this renewed momentum? Several key developments have pushed stablecoins into the mainstream conversation, including Donald Trump’s recent proposal for a 

. According to Paz Gonzalez, these announcements signal a broader shift tied to the weakening influence of the US dollar. In times like these, stablecoins could gain mass adoption, giving governments a way to reassert monetary control through a digital proxy.

Jip Molenaar agrees with Gonzalez, adding that Bitcoin is unlikely to become the world’s primary currency, despite what many once believed. Instead, Molenaar sees Bitcoin’s future role as that of a store of value — 

 — while stablecoins will take on the role of everyday money, used for payments, bill settlements and daily transactions. 

, Molenaar argues, has helped bring digital assets into the political mainstream, making the concept of crypto usage more palatable to the general public than ever before.

Molenaar also shares his personal experience transitioning from euros to USDT, a process he describes as challenging and significant. Living in Europe, switching to a US dollar–pegged stablecoin wasn’t easy — and that’s precisely why he believes most users won’t readily jump to new alternatives. For many, USDT and 

Paz sees Fidelity’s entry into stablecoins as a bullish signal for the industry. As a well-established and trusted financial institution, Fidelity’s involvement could sway skeptics who have traditionally avoided crypto. Its participation brings credibility — and potentially, a new wave of adoption.

He also emphasizes that the legitimacy of any currency, fiat or crypto, depends upon being backed by a clear source of value. Historically, 

. For stablecoins to earn that trust, the same principle applies — they must be transparently backed. Today, more investors recognize that leading stablecoins are supported by reserves, and are subject to increasing regulatory oversight.

However, despite this progress, Molenaar remains cautious. He warns that another event like the 

 is still possible if stablecoins aren’t properly backed and transparently managed. Without clear support mechanisms, he believes trust will erode — and widespread adoption will stall.

USDT currently holds the largest market share among all stablecoins and is the most actively traded. Molenaar attributes this dominance to the convenience and wide acceptance of USDT across trading platforms. He points out that the infrastructure for USDT is already deeply entrenched in the crypto ecosystem, making it far easier to execute trades and move funds. Because of this strong foundation, he believes it will be extremely difficult for any competing stablecoin to unseat USDT.

Gonzalez agrees: while she personally holds some USDC, she says that when people ask her to send a stablecoin, it’s almost always USDT. Even though USDC has made efforts to challenge USDT’s dominance, Gonzalez doesn’t see that happening anytime soon — if ever. She also underscores the fact that stablecoins like USDT aren't meant to be investments in the way Bitcoin or altcoins are. Instead, they serve more practical purposes, facilitating transactions and providing stable on-chain alternatives to fiat.

Molenaar adds that older generations, particularly baby boomers, tend to wait until new markets are validated by trusted institutions before getting involved. With firms like Fidelity now backing crypto through 

 (ETFs) and exploring stablecoin adoption, that validation is underway. Because Fidelity has integrated USDT into its ecosystem, Molenaar believes that conservative investors will naturally gravitate toward it over less familiar alternatives.

Gonzalez also shares her approach to risk management. Rather than going all-in on one asset, she diversifies and experiments cautiously — allocating small amounts to new opportunities. 

, for example, is one method she uses to generate passive income while testing out new protocols or tokens.

When it comes to adoption, Gonzalez sees real-world use cases driving interest in stablecoins. She mentions the new Wyoming stablecoin, which offers local taxpayers a slight reduction on their annual tax bills. While its benefits may currently apply to a small group, she believes this kind of practical utility is crucial. To achieve broader adoption, stablecoins — including smaller, emerging ones — need meaningful use cases tied to local economies. 

Still, for global accessibility and widespread usage, she maintains that a well-established option such as USDT is essential.

Stablecoins and trading — what really matters to traders

Molenaar is all-in on USDT, choosing to avoid the risks that come with lesser-known stablecoins. For him, USDT offers the highest liquidity and the lowest risk, due to its widespread adoption. While he's open to switching if a new, dominant stablecoin emerges, he’s not willing to gamble on smaller or less established options at this time.

Gonzalez adds an important perspective: stablecoins don’t just enable transactions — they also reflect the health and movement of the broader crypto market. Since stablecoins support liquidity within cryptocurrency networks, their flows can signal shifts in underlying asset trends. Traders are beginning to pay more attention to this relationship.

While most stablecoins are backed by USD, some stablecoin creators are now exploring alternative pegs, such as gold. But for Gonzalez, the backing isn't the main concern: usability is. She prioritizes the ease with which a stablecoin can be used for trading. In her view, investors today care more about functionality and integration with platforms than the specific assets backing the coin. 

Molenaar agrees, adding that ease of use often comes down to habit — knowing the ins and outs of how to trade with a particular coin saves time and effort. He also points out that staking stablecoins typically yields higher returns than do traditional bank savings accounts. That’s one reason he keeps minimal funds in banks — in addition to his distrust of the traditional banking system. He prefers to let his funds work for him through stablecoin staking.

Gonzalez also sticks with USDT because of its simplicity and reliability. She takes a cautious, thoughtful approach to her finances, due to her awareness of how hard she works to earn her money. When trading with USDT, she invests time in researching opportunities. Therefore, she believes that having a deep understanding of stablecoins is crucial in order to make smart financial decisions.

Both Molenaar and Gonzalez highlight the importance of using a trusted platform when holding and trading stablecoins. Molenaar uses Bybit because he feels confident his funds are secure there, and Gonzalez echoes this sentiment — rather than spreading her assets across multiple exchanges, she sticks with Bybit for its reliability and trustworthiness.

This episode of Learn 101 offers a thought-provoking look at the battle between emerging stablecoins and the reigning stablecoin leader, USDT. While newer stablecoins may bring niche advantages and localized utility, USDT’s deep liquidity, global reach and entrenched usage continue to give it a clear edge. For now, USDT remains the go-to choice. But as the ecosystem continues to evolve, the race is far from over.

Crypto Insights

Bitcoin halving is an important event that occurs every 210,00 blocks, or approximately every four years. It’s a programmed mechanism that cuts the reward for Bitcoin mining in half, theoretically to control the issuance of new bitcoins and manage inflation.

Bitcoin’s network operates on a fixed supply schedule, with a total cap of 21 million bitcoins. The previous halving took place in May 2020, reducing the reward for each mined block of BTC transactions from 12.5 bitcoins to 6.25 bitcoins per block. The upcoming halving will further reduce it to 3.125 BTC. 

Halving events have had significant implications for Bitcoin’s ecosystem, reducing the rate at which new Bitcoins are created and effectively slowing the supply of new coins entering the market. Coupled with increasing demand for Bitcoin, this reduction in supply has historically led to upward pressure on BTC’s price. 

Bitcoin Halving Enhances Scarcity, Bitcoin’s Key Proposition

Bitcoin halving leads to a slow supply to the market due to block rewards. Unlike gold and other commodities, Bitcoin becomes more scarce after each halving in terms of less new “production” of Bitcoin. A stock-to-flow (S2F) model shows that after halvings, Bitcoin becomes scarcer than gold.

The S2F ratio is calculated by dividing the circulating supply of a commodity by its annual production, yielding a gauge of scarcity. Bitcoin's S2F ratio is around 56 before the upcoming halving, while that of gold is 60. After the halving in April 2024, Bitcoin’s S2F ratio is projected to double to 112.

For detailed mechanisms of Bitcoin halving, please check out our 

Now that we’ve examined the basics, let’s examine the potential before and after impact of the upcoming April 2024 Bitcoin halving.

Before the halving takes place, there’s no impact on the supply side. On the demand side, however, investors tend to forerun the halving. With this fourth halving, we’ve noticed an early surge in Bitcoin’s price. Some analysts believe that the early pre-halving increase in Bitcoin’s price indicates that the post-halving price rally will be less remarkable than we’ve come to expect historically.

Nonetheless, this cycle has become more complex than ever, with the recent approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs in the U.S. playing a role. 

Historically, it’s wise to buy Bitcoin within six months before the halving and hold it for at least 12 months afterward

Bitcoin began to recover in early October last year (2023), approximately six months before the coming April 2024 halving. However, it was also in October that large traditional finance giants began applying to run Bitcoin Spot ETFs. Overall, there is no consensus regarding whether the pre-halving effect has been more evident than in the previous three cycles.

, investors have allocated more positions to Bitcoin since last September, with an average of 40% and 24% of total assets in this largest cryptocurrency by institutions and retail investors, respectively, as of January 31, 2024. 

As Bitcoin becomes not only the first cryptocurrency but also the first currency with Spot ETFs approved by the SEC, it is seemingly becoming the safest investment choice even for the most sophisticated investors in the crypto field. The price correlation between Bitcoin and the rest of cryptocurrency has been consistently high, and investment in Bitcoin has also been regarded as the cryptocurrency with the lowest beta.

Bitcoin reserves in all centralized exchanges have been depleting faster. With only 2 million bitcoins left, if we assume a daily inflow of $500 million to Bitcoin Spot ETFs, the equivalent of around 7,142 bitcoins will leave exchange reserves daily, suggesting that it will only take 

 to consume all of the remaining reserves. With this in mind, it’s unsurprising that Bitcoin’s price may continue to climb before the halving, or even afterward, as the supply squeeze propels the price to another new record.

As mentioned above, institutions have been allocating more positions to Bitcoin in the past six months. Apart from crypto-native institutions, traditional Web 2.0 institutions have gained exposure with the help of Bitcoin Spot ETFs or Bitcoin proxy stocks such as MicroStrategy or miner stocks. In our view, traditional Web 2.0 institutions would prefer accumulating Bitcoin position before halving, sticking to the “sell the news” strategy. 

Nonetheless, we believe that not all institutions have been able to gain exposure since the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs in January 2024, as their investment mandates restrict them from investing in new products that have been in the market for only a few months. 

As highlighted above, Bitcoin is seeing early signs of a short squeeze. Post-halving, the supply squeeze will ostensibly be worse. Investors tend to 

 their Bitcoin positions if they’re being held in 

. The supply for Bitcoin Spot ETFs is usually from 

 (CEXs), in which profitable investors realize their profitable positions or successful miners sell their recent rewards. Since mining rewards will be cut in half after the halving, the sell-side supply flowing into the CEXs will be reduced.

After the halving, Bitcoin’s hash rate is expected to surge, increasing miners' production costs. CoinShares 

 that the direct costs of producing one Bitcoin will rise between $28K and $38K following the halving, while JPMorgan Chase & Co. recently predicted a $42K cost per production of one Bitcoin after April 2024. Only those miners with more advanced rigs and lower indirect costs will be able to survive once Bitcoin’s price drops below $40K.

It’s expected that following the halving, unprofitable miners might start selling their Bitcoin reserves in order to support their operations. However, once their reserves run out, the overall sell-side supply to CEXs will shrink.

The chart on the left shows miners’ reserves leading up to the 2024 halving, while the chart on the right shows those of the 2020 halving. It’s clear that miners started to unload their reserves earlier in this cycle, suggesting they might believe the Bitcoin price rally had begun to wear thin before the 2024 halving.

If Bitcoin continues to test a new ATH post-halving, some investors will try to profit from the opportunities presented. As mentioned above, Bitcoin tends to rally twelve months after each halving, and there’s a high probability that we might see a new ATH this time. Meanwhile, the Web 2.0 publicity will center around the Bitcoin halving, leading to 

-driven behavior on the part of new investors.

If you’re familiar with trading, an imminent mild adjustment of Bitcoin’s price might solidify its future rally as it forms a floor in the case of any 

 events. Thus, it can be okay to see adjustments during halving.

Bitcoin Cash jumped around 10% on April 4, 2024, right after the network’s halving. However, the rally wasn’t sustained, and BCH’s price has since retraced to its pre-halving level.

Navigating Pre- and Post-Halving With Bybit

A key question after the halving will be: How far will Bitcoin’s price climb, and at what price will the cycle peak? No one has a crystal ball. However, our observations of this cycle do lead to a few pieces of advice.

First of all, it’s wise to take profits half a year after the halving, toward the end of 2024. The past cycle indicated a twelve-month window after the halving. And yet, we observed more forerunning before the halving, which limits the room for gains post-halving.

As the halving date approaches, volatility could spike. Investors might consider diverse investment strategies to protect their positions. If you’re in view of large price movements, either long or short, consider the 

 to catch the gain from large upside or downside volatility. Check out Bybit’s USDC options 

In the face of volatility, it is of equal importance to choose the 

 (UTA) with Bybit, which helps reduce the chance of liquidation of your derivatives options when your assets are spread across different types of wallets. 

All trading carries risk. Only risk capital you can afford to lose.
