Bybit Pre-Market Trading provides an early opportunity to participate in the hype around new tokens before their official launch. Users have the potential to acquire trending tokens at more favorable prices compared to post-launch trading.
How does Bybit Pre-Market Trading work?
On Bybit Pre-Market Trading, users can buy or sell a particular token before its official release. Sellers and buyers create orders and set quotes in advance. All transactions are denominated in USDT.
-
As a Buyer: To place a buy order, users pay a transaction fee and the order value. Once your order is matched with a seller, you only need to wait for the settlement time for the seller to deliver your tokens. If the seller fails to deliver tokens at the settlement time, buyers receive a percentage of the seller’s collateral as compensation on top of recovering the payment amount.
-
As a Seller: To place a sell order, users pay a transaction fee and provide collateral based on the pledge rate. Sellers must be ready to deliver tokens at settlement time. Tokens must be in the Unified Trading Account by settlement time. Once the tokens are delivered successfully, you will receive the payment in your Unified Trading Account. Failure to deliver the tokens in full and on time will result in the loss of the entire collateral placed for the corresponding pre-market order.
How do I complete the delivery?
To complete the delivery, you will need to have sufficient tokens in your Unified Trading Account by settlement time. Upon settlement time, the system will deliver the token to your buyer and the payment amount will be credited to your Unified Trading Account.
Here are two (2) ways to get the token:
1. Deposit enough tokens from an external Wallet to your Unified Trading Account
2. Purchase tokens in the spot market after the trading pair is listed before settlement time
Can I complete the delivery to the buyer before settlement time?
No, the delivery will only be conducted at the settlement time even if you have prepared the token in your Unified Trading Account beforehand.
