Bybit is set to launch a decentralized exchange called Byreal on the Solana testnet on June 30, with the mainnet launch planned for the third quarter of 2025.
Byreal aims to combine centralized exchange features with DeFi infrastructure, offering liquidity and transparency.
The platform will provide features like Request for Quote (RFQ) and Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM) routing to reduce slippage and improve trade execution.
Byreal intends to protect against MEV (maximum extractable value) in DeFi trading to ensure transaction fairness and pricing.
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou described Byreal as bringing CEX-grade liquidity with DeFi-native transparency to users.
Bybit has been expanding its services despite a significant cybersecurity breach in early 2025, leading to the loss of over $1.4 billion in assets.
In response to the breach, Bybit launched a $140 million bounty program and collaborated with Safe, a decentralized custody protocol, to manage withdrawal requests and strengthen security.
Bybit introduced a Fixed Rate Loan service for peer-to-peer loans with fixed interest rates and terms and has seen growth, reaching over 30 million registered users globally.
Bybit increased its market share in spot trading from 2% in 2023 to 11% by April 2024, showcasing its growth and expansion efforts.
