A base pool of 100,000 USDT unlocks when the overall event volume hits $800M. A boosted pool of an additional 100,000 USDT (total 200,000 USDT) unlocks at $2B in trading volume.

You could walk away with up to 30,000 USDT, just by doing what you already do: trade.

Please note that there are no Spot trading pair restrictions for this subevent.

The third subevent, Power Boost, lets you earn from trending project tokens just by trading them. Simply trade the selected tokens during the event period. The more you trade, the larger your slice of the prize pool (which can go up to 500,000 USDT in total).

Bybit Liquidity Shield Trading Frenzy: Where slippage subsidies meet peak liquidity

PumpBTC (PUMP) enables secure multichain Bitcoin liquid staking via Babylon, with governance and rewards powered by its dual token ecosystem.

One of the most exciting parts of working with cryptocurrency is the ability to 

. Unfortunately, some older and more established coins like 

 (BTC) don't natively support staking, due to their 

 (PoW) consensus model. To overcome this limitation, 

 have emerged, which let you temporarily lock away your Bitcoin to support their networks while you earn interest on the side via 

 (DeFi). PumpBTC is one such platform that plans to expand the utility of Bitcoin staking. Built on Babylon, this liquid staking solution lets people stake their Bitcoin securely with even more flexibility and access to DeFi to maximize their earning potential.

PumpBTC is a multichain liquid staking solution for Bitcoin built on the 

 native staking protocol. Compared to other Bitcoin staking solutions, PumpBTC hopes to offer more flexibility and security.

 (WBTC) or Bitcoin Avalanche Bridged (BTC.b) tokens on the Babylon protocol. In return, PumpBTC gives users a yield-bearing token whose value is pegged to Bitcoin at a one-to-one value. The pegged token, pumpBTC, can then be used in a variety of DeFi protocols. For BTC holders, having a more liquid asset while their Bitcoin is staked ensures that they can maximize yields with ease. 

The PumpBTC process provides many advantages for users. Compared to direct BTC staking on Babylon, it doesn't permanently lock up users' tokens until the staking period ends. People can still use their assets for other DeFi actions, such as participating in 

PumpBTC and Babylon: Security, staking and scalability

The integration with Babylon also provides plenty more useful features. Since Babylon is staked directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, minimizing security risks is another benefit. Instead of trusting a bunch of third-party bridges, users can enjoy centralized finance (CeFi)–level security. The native yield from Babylon provides a reliable form of income, no matter what users do with their liquid tokens. 

Furthermore, PumpBTC is also connected to several 

-compatible chains. Through the convenient PumpBTC website, users can also access projects on chains like Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and 

. This provides even more flexibility for liquid staking and ensures PumpBTC is as scalable as possible.

PumpBTC launched just less than a year ago, in June 2024, but it's already expanded to over 27 other DeFi and crypto ecosystems. The site 

 in funding from 10K Ventures, Arcane Group, CoinSummer Labs and others. Little is known about the people who launched PumpBTC because the project aims to be pretty decentralized. Its 

 in early April includes news about creating The Pump Foundation and PUMP, a 

 that people can use to engage in governance.

PumpBTC’s architecture prioritizes security and transparency. Many other Bitcoin staking solutions manually pass tokens back and forth over third-party 

, which allows vulnerabilities to enter the equation. However, PumpBTC's method ensures users remain in control of their own assets. PumpBTC has partnered with fully licensed token custodians, such as CoinCover and Cobo, to implement Multi-Party Computation (MPC) in order to boost the protection of users’ assets. With MPC, after a user places their WBTC or BTC.b into the custodial wallet, multiple private keys are generated, and transactions can only be confirmed if all parties, including the user, are in agreement. 

Once the tokens are in the custodial wallet, a 

 with CoinCover or Cobo delegates the equivalent amount of tokens into the Babylon native yield staking network and triggers the minting of pumpBTC tokens, which are transferred back to the user. These tokens have a one-to-one value ratio with Bitcoin, and people can use them to participate in DeFi yield-earning solutions within the PumpBTC ecosystem. 

When BTC holders maximize yields and are ready to redeem their Bitcoin from the Babylon staking protocol, they turn in their pumpBTC tokens. The custodian triggers a smart contract that burns the pumpBTC tokens. Once the tokens are 

, the custodian returns both the Bitcoin (WBTC or BTC.b) and staking yields to the user. Throughout the entire process, users can maintain control of their tokens and view all on-chain transactions, so they can be fully aware of how the system works.

PumpBTC also has some intriguing mechanisms outside of its token staking process. The rest of the ecosystem is a community-led system run with PumpBTC points, a reward mechanism that encourages people to participate in the platform. You can earn them by participating in various activities and challenges, such as referring other people to PumpBTC and staking PUMP on PumpBTC or Babylon.

Simply holding pumpBTC tokens lets you earn one point per token per second. But if you choose to interact more actively with PumpBTC's ecosystem by staking PUMP in multiple liquidity pools or being a Team Captain in the referral program, your points will be boosted. Having these points allows you to unlock additional ecosystem rewards as the platform evolves.

In early April 2025, PumpBTC announced an enhancement to its protocol with the introduction of PumpBTC OS to incorporate AI-driven staking into its operating system. The integration of AI facilitates the automatic search for the best yields across networks, and the customization of strategies according to your risk profile.

The PumpBTC network contains multiple cryptocurrency tokens. Though they all share similar names, they have vastly different purposes. In addition to the pumpBTC token used for liquid staking transactions, there are also PUMP and vePUMP tokens.

, and can be used to vote on decisions within the ecosystem and for staking to boost rewards. It can also be used to lower fees and enhance returns across PumpBTC's products. There’s a total supply of 1 billion PUMP tokens, which will be allocated as follows:

To jump-start the user-led governance system, PumpBTC will be distributing 90 million tokens to loyal PumpBTC users at the time of token generation. You can check your eligibility for this airdrop by visiting the

. Depending upon how much you’ve participated in PumpBTC in the past, you can have quite a few PUMP tokens automatically sent to your wallet.

When users stake PUMP, they receive a non-fungible ERC-721 token called vote-escrowed PUMP, or vePUMP for short. It’s a secondary token (linked to the primary PUMP token) that grants stakers even more governance powers. Unlike standard PUMP, vePUMP isn’t used for basic decisions. Instead, vePUMP holders are entitled to a degree of influence over key ecosystem decisions. The longer a token is locked up, the more vePUMP the holder receives. In addition, vePUMP allows people to boost their liquidity provider rewards and gain a share of protocol revenue from the entire ecosystem.

PUMP is still quite a new token, so it's not yet available on most exchanges. However, Bybit's commitment to highlighting promising new tokens means interested users can access PUMP through Bybit’s exchange. Bybit is running a Launchpool event until Apr 8, 2024, 10AM UTC, in which 

 will be divided among users. Users can stake PUMP, BTC or USDT and in return get a share of free PUMP tokens.

Even if you don't plan on participating in the Launchpool event, buying PUMP as a Spot pair on Bybit is also possible (

). Moreover, you can opt to add PUMP tokens to your investment portfolio in just a few steps with Bybit's 

, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure that you always buy low and sell high.

Ultimately, PumpBTC facilitates effortless collaboration between key players in the Bitcoin staking ecosystem, bridging the gap between traditional Bitcoin holders and the rapidly evolving world of DeFi. By integrating with the Babylon staking protocol and employing MPC-secured custodians like CoinCover and Cobo, PumpBTC offers a secure, flexible liquid staking solution. 

Whether you're looking to earn passive income, participate in governance with PUMP and vePUMP or simply diversify your crypto portfolio, PumpBTC creates new, scalable opportunities for engagement with Bitcoin in a modern DeFi context.

Investing

A crypto hedge fund is hedge fund that invests in cryptocurrencies and crypto-based products that promises high returns, but not without equally high risks.

In late June 2022, one of the biggest crypto hedge fund managers, Three Arrows Capital (3AC), 

. The firm, whose fund products had significant exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies, became one of the most prominent victims of the ongoing crypto market slump.

3AC’s failure has brought the concept of currency-based hedge funds to the fore of investment folk’s attention. The fund’s failure has highlighted the issues of risk and safety when using this type of investment vehicle. In this article, we’ll cover the topic of cryptocurrency hedge funds and discuss the risks, pros and cons, and regulations involved in using these products.

A hedge fund is a financial vehicle in which money from multiple individual and institutional investors is pooled and invested in a variety of assets — stocks, bonds, commodities, foreign currencies, cryptocurrencies, derivatives and more – with the goal of maximizing returns. The pooled funds are managed by professional fund managers at the investment firm which offers the product.

Originally, hedge funds were focused on managing investments to 

 hence the name. However, over the years, these funds have grown increasingly more aggressive, with high-risk/high-return strategies favored by fund managers. Today, hedge funds are characterized by a higher risk profile than the other popular types of funds — 

As you might have guessed, a crypto hedge fund is a type of hedge fund that invests in cryptocurrencies and crypto-based products. Some of these funds may invest exclusively in crypto and digital assets, while others combine cryptocurrency investments with traditional asset types — stocks, commodities, derivatives and more.

In 2021, there were approximately 300 crypto hedge funds, with the 

, more than double the AuM in the past year, which reached around $23.4 million.

Compared to traditional hedge funds, crypto hedge funds might be subject to somewhat less regulation, depending upon the composition of the overall investment portfolio, as detailed in the regulations section further in this article.

Crypto hedge funds invest in a variety of cryptocurrencies, crypto-based derivative products, blockchain ventures, and other assets related to the crypto/blockchain industry to maximize investor returns. For example, one of the largest crypto hedge funds, Pantera Capital, balances its investment in 

1.  	promising new tokens with the potential to become rising stars like 

3.  	venture equity in leading industry projects, such as 

Crypto hedge funds typically charge a management fee of between 1% and 3% of your investment. In addition to the management fee, there is nearly always a performance fee payable as a share of the positive return generated from your investment. This fee may vary from 10% to as high as 40% of the return on investment.

For example, let’s say your initial investment in the fund is $1 million and the performance fee was set at 20%. After a year, your investment has grown to $1.5 million, a return of $500,000. Under this scenario, the fund manager will charge 20% of that $500,000 (that is, $100,000) as the performance fee.

Participation in crypto hedge funds typically requires a substantial minimum investment. Pantera’s Blockchain Fund mentioned above, for instance, has a $1 million minimum investment requirement. This isn’t an unusual amount for a hedge fund. However, there are some funds for which the minimum investment could be as low as $100,000. 

The Three Arrows Capital (3AC) debacle shone the spotlight on cryptocurrency regulation, including issues related to the operations of crypto hedge funds. Tighter regulation of crypto had already been an ongoing development in the U.S. and other jurisdictions before the 3AC failure. The firm’s high-profile collapse will likely expedite the introduction of additional regulatory measures, with crypto hedge funds being among the primary targets of this new government tough love.

At the moment, crypto hedge funds that invest exclusively in cryptocurrencies don’t have to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This is because the SEC has yet to officially recognize crypto as a 

. This could change — and rather abruptly — given the SEC’s incessant stream of opinion pieces and announcements hinting at bringing crypto under the umbrella of security-related products.

However, if the crypto hedge fund has a diversified portfolio that includes stocks and other highly regulated assets in addition to crypto, then SEC registration of the fund might be required — unless the fund has less than $150 million under its management, in which case it would qualify for an 

Additionally, if the fund plans to invest in complex derivative crypto products, such as leveraged assets or Bitcoin futures, it would

Crypto hedge funds offer several advantages for investors. Naturally, along with the benefits of investing in these funds, there are some drawbacks and/or risks to watch out for.

The key advantages of crypto hedge fund investing are:

The key disadvantages of crypto hedge funds include:

Among the hundreds of funds that invest in crypto assets, some stand out as the main market movers and shakers. The most notable among these funds include Pantera Capital, Multicoin Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.

 is considered by some observers to be the largest crypto hedge fund manager. It launched the first-ever crypto fund in the U.S. back in 2013. The firm’s Blockchain Fund (described above) is the main vehicle used by Pantera Capital to invest in cryptocurrency and blockchain assets. The fund started in June 2021 with an investment target of $600 million, to be allocated to promising tokens and projects. By now, the fund has grown to $1.3 billion, a mammoth amount by the standards of the crypto hedge fund industry.

is another high-profile hedge fund manager. The firm invests exclusively in crypto, blockchain, decentralized finance, and Web 3.0 projects and assets. The total amount of assets under management (AuM) of this industry giant is close to $9 billion.

One of the world’s largest technology investors, 

 is among the most recognizable names in the hedge fund industry. The firm runs a number of crypto funds and venture capital investment vehicles. The company’s largest fund solely dedicated to crypto is estimated at a staggering $4.5 billion.

Starting a crypto hedge fund in the U.S. requires following a number of steps to ensure that you don’t end up on the wrong side of the law. Fund managers who plan to invest only in crypto coins, and who won’t have more than $150 million under their management, don’t need to register with either the SEC or the CFTC.

Managing more than $150 million — or combining crypto investments with securities — triggers a requirement for registration with the SEC. Meanwhile, a CFTC registration is mandatory for investments in crypto futures, other derivatives and leveraged products.

Additionally, the fund manager will need to check with the relevant state-level authorities concerning any local registration, approval or permits.

Crypto hedge funds might be a great way to invest because of their potential for astoundingly high returns. However, high returns inevitably come with high risks. In particular, the inherent risks involved in crypto hedge funds must always be kept in mind. Don’tt forget that these funds combine two highly risky investment forms — cryptocurrencies and hedge funds.

If you don’t mind this combustible mix, you may find crypto hedge fund investing to be a rewarding endeavor — at least when your assets are overseen by a skilled fund manager.
