What is Bybit Discount Buy? 

Discount Buy is a product that allows users to purchase a specific asset at a predetermined price on the settlement date, which is below the market rate at the time of order placement, should the Settlement Price fall within the Knockout Price and Purchase price.

Who should consider Discount Buy?

Discount Buy is designed for users who wish to ramp up their crypto holdings in bear markets where volatility is on the low side. 

How to understand the key terms of Discount Buy? 

How does Discount Buy work?

Discount Buy works in two scenarios: 

For example, 

If Trader A wants to invest 10,000 USDT into BTC using Discount Buy, and the current market price of BTC is 30,500 USDT,

Purchase Price = 29,900 USDT

Knockout Price = 31,000 USDT 

At settlement date,

• If the price of BTC (Settlement Price) is 30,800 USDT < 31,000 USDT, Trader A will receive 0.334 BTC (worth 10,000 USDT) at the price of 29,900 USDT, and thus making a profit. 
• If the Settlement Price is 29,000 USDT < 29,900 USDT, Trader A will receive 0.334 BTC (worth 10,000 USDT) at the price of 29,900 USDT, and thus incurring a loss. 
• If the Settlement Price is 32,000 USDT > 31,000 USDT, Trader A will receive the initial investment and fee saver payment (8% APR) in USDT. The total payoff is calculated with the formula below: Payoff = 10,000 + 10,000 * 8% * 1/365 = 10,002.19 USDT 

How is the Settlement Price determined?

The Settlement Price is determined by calculating the average price of the underlying Perpetual Contract’s Index Price every second in the 30 minutes leading up to the Settlement Time.

What is the difference between Dual Asset and a Discount Buy?
