Bybit is gearing up to offer more than just crypto, with plans to roll out U.S. stocks, commodities, and indices by the end of the current quarter. During a May 3 livestream, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou announced that the exchange plans to roll out trading for U.S. stocks, commodities like gold and oil, and stock indices by the end of the second quarter of 2025. Soon, Bybit users will be able to trade popular U.S. stocks like Apple, Microsoft, and MicroStrategy, alongside commodities and indices, all within Bybit’s existing system. These new products will connect with the platform’s current infrastructure, including the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform, which already offers leveraged gold trading. Industry watchers see Bybit’s expansion as part of a broader trend where crypto exchanges and traditional finance are starting to blend.  While Bybit brings stocks and commodities into its lineup, some traditional trading platforms are moving in the other direction, looking to offer crypto products.

The latest rollout builds on Bybit’s efforts to enhance the customer experience. Bybit is also reportedly leveraging artificial intelligence through tools like CryptoLens and TradeGPT to deliver real-time market insights, project analysis, and token-specific data. However, not everything has been smooth sailing for the Dubai-based exchange. In February, Bybit faced a massive security breach that led to the theft of 500,000 ETH, worth about $1.5 billion, marking the biggest crypto theft to date. While Zhou initially reassured users that their funds were safe and that the platform could cover the losses, he later admitted in an April 21 update that roughly 27.6% of the stolen assets have gone completely dark and are no longer traceable.

Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. For millions of adopters, Bitcoin (BTC) represents freedom from capital controls, centralized intermediaries, and central bank debasement. But for institutions, holding Bitcoin isn’t free. In fact, it comes with persistent, measurable costs that accumulate quietly and erode value over time. This is Bitcoin’s “silent tax”—the negative carry that stems from fees, insurance costs, accounting friction, and opportunity cost. You might also like:US Bitcoin reserves a win-win for inflation and solidifying Bitcoin’s value | Opinion For an individual investor with conviction and a long time horizon, this drag might be avoidable or tolerable. But for institutions managing large portfolios, reliant on secure third parties and bound by fiduciary mandates, the silent tax is becoming harder to ignore. Holding comes at a cost Unlike retail users, institutions often can’t self-custody Bitcoin on a hardware wallet. They rely on regulated custodians for compliance, auditability, and security. BitGo, Copper, Hex Trust, Coinbase Prime, and Fidelity Digital Assets are among the top players in this space—and they don’t offer their services for free. Custody fees generally range from 0.35% to 0.50% per year, charged on assets under custody. For large clients, this adds up quickly. A $100 million Bitcoin position costs between $350,000 and $500,000 annually—just to sit in cold storage. Some custodians also charge onboarding and transaction fees, pushing effective costs even higher. Insurance adds another layer. While major custodians offer policies, these limits are often well below what large institutions need. Some clients negotiate additional coverage or self-insure, either of which increases cost. And then there are audit expenses: public companies and funds must routinely verify their crypto holdings through specialized crypto audits. These aren’t cheap, often requiring six-figure engagements with Big Four firms. Taken together, these are the core components of Bitcoin’s negative carry for institutions: unavoidable holding costs with no offsetting income. Even in the absence of volatility or price movement, the position slowly bleeds—a structural headwind built into the act of holding. But beyond the explicit costs, there’s also a strategic constraint that further compounds the burden. The structural headwind of negative carry One of Bitcoin’s most important institutional use cases—beyond simply being held for long-term appreciation—is its role as collateral. Bitcoin can be posted to borrow dollars, stablecoins, or other crypto assets, enabling holders to unlock liquidity without selling their position. This function is especially valuable to capital-intensive businesses like miners or trading firms, and increasingly to treasury managers seeking more flexible balance sheet tools. But the effectiveness of Bitcoin as collateral depends on its stability and availability. If negative carry erodes the principal of Bitcoin, the amount of usable collateral shrinks. In that scenario, holders not only suffer paper losses but also see their borrowing power diminish in real terms. This challenge is amplified by the fact that the primary way to offset Bitcoin’s negative carry, through yield generation, often removes Bitcoin from being usable as collateral. If an institution lends out its Bitcoin to earn interest, those assets are typically locked up and no longer available to be posted against loans. In effect, there’s a trade-off: you can use your Bitcoin to generate income, or you can use it to unlock liquidity. This binary choice creates real friction for institutions trying to maximize capital efficiency. The Bitcoin that’s out earning yield via lending isn’t available for borrowing or operational flexibility. And the Bitcoin kept liquid for collateral sits idle, accumulating holding costs with no offsetting return. Why this matters now In the early 2020s, with rates near zero and inflation concerns mounting, Bitcoin’s narrative as an inflation hedge made the silent tax easy to overlook. But with a shift to higher interest rates, renewed competition from yield-bearing assets, and stricter regulatory scrutiny, institutions now face a harder calculus. Custody fees are no longer negligible. Inflation-adjusted opportunity cost is real. And internal stakeholders—from risk committees to CFOs—may soon start asking what Bitcoin is doing on the balance sheet beyond just sitting there. Breaking the trade-off The current trade-offs facing institutional Bitcoin holders are significant, but they may not be permanent. As infrastructure evolves, new approaches are beginning to offer a path forward—solutions that could reduce or even eliminate the need to choose between yield and utility. Across other blockchain ecosystems, native yield is often earned by helping to secure the network through staking. Bitcoin, by design, doesn’t offer that functionality to holders — its proof-of-work system rewards miners, not those holding BTC. But recent developments point to a new possibility: enabling Bitcoin to support external proof-of-stake chains, earning yield in the process. This model, often referred to as Bitcoin staking, allows BTC to be delegated to secure other networks—without giving up custody or taking on new trust assumptions. As these approaches continue to mature, the institutional viability of Bitcoin is sure to grow. For institutions that have long had to choose between capital efficiency and alignment with Bitcoin’s design, that shift could be significant—and long overdue.

由于 85% 的 DYDX 代币已被解锁，dYdX 正在推出回购计划，以将价值重新注入生态系统。 The team behind the decentralized exchange dYdX just kicked off its first-ever DYDX (DYDX) buyback, aiming to boost confidence in the token. Starting Monday, 25% of net protocol fees will go toward monthly buybacks — buying DYDX from the open market and staking it to help secure the network, according to a March 24 blog announcement from the company. 到目前为止，dYdX 的所有协议收入都直接流向生态系统参与者。但随着新的回购计划的实施，情况的分配略有不同： 10% – 财政部 SubDAO 用于金融可持续性计划。 25% – MegaVault。 25%——回购计划。 40% – 质押奖励。 据 dYdX 团队称，该设置可确保协议收入“战略性地再投资到生态系统中，加强网络安全、治理和长期可持续性”。虽然初始分配将 25% 的净协议费用用于回购，但正在进行的社区讨论正在探索随着时间的推移将这一比例提高到 100% 的可能性。 重组中的回购 dYdX 由 Antonio Juliano 于 2017 年创立，是一个去中心化交易所，用户可进行加密货币交易、保证金交易和借贷——所有这些都无需中间人。 回购计划出台之际，dYdX 正经历重大转变。去年 10 月，该交易所的多名团队成员（包括核心团队成员）离职。首席执行官安东尼奥·朱利亚诺 (Antonio Juliano) 宣布裁员 35% 的核心团队成员，这是重大重组的一部分。朱利亚诺在一篇博客文章中解释说，公司需要发展，因为“我们建立的公司与 dYdX 必须成为的公司不同。” “决定放弃是因为我们意识到，我们建立的公司与 dYdX 必须成为的公司不同。我们将以清晰的思路和新的热情继续前进。我们将创造出令人惊叹的东西。” dYdX 朱利亚诺最初于 2024 年 5 月初辞去首席执行官一职，转而担任 dYdX Trading 的董事长兼总裁。前运营合伙人 Ivo Crnkovic-Rubsamen 接替他担任首席执行官。 你可能还喜欢：dYdX 更新路线图，带来更快的交易和更好的用户体验 Entering new lands In 2024 alone, dYdX racked up $270 billion in trading volume and pulled in $46 million in net protocol fees across 150 markets. Since launching in 2021, its total trading volume has surpassed $1.46 trillion, according to company data. 回购计划似乎旨在加强 DYDX 代币经济学，这可能是其发行计划的关键点。截至 3 月，据报道约 85% 的 DYDX 代币已被解锁。预计 6 月份的发行量将减少约 50%，所有代币解锁可能会在 2026 年 6 月结束。 除此之外，dYdX 社区金库还持有约 1.9 亿个 DYDX 代币，占总供应量的近 20%，用于未来社区驱动的计划。 “这确保了有足够的资源来进一步开发和扩展该协议。” dYdX 此次回购也是在 dYdX 于 2023 年从以太坊迁移到其自己的专用第 1 层链之后进行的。截至发稿时，大约 86% 的 DYDX 代币在 dYdX 链上，尽管剩余的 14% 仍以 ethDYDX 的形式存在于以太坊上。在迁移之后，dYdX 社区现在正在考虑在 6 月之前停止对跨链桥的支持，这将使所有未桥接的 ethDYDX 代币从 dYdX 链上流通中移除。 The crypto exchange team notes that if the allocation to buybacks were to increase to 100% of net protocol fees, it could “significantly accelerate the reduction of tokens in circulation while further strengthening network security and validator incentives.” It remains to be seen if the dYdX community will back such a bold move, which could significantly impact the protocol’s long-term economics. “As the program takes effect, discussions are already underway about the possibility of expanding it further.” dYdX Following the buyback program announcement, the market has responded positively as the DYDX token soared 7% to $0.7224, while trading volume on crypto exchanges jumped 225%. However, despite the surge, the token is still down 84% from its all-time high of $4.52, which it reached in March 2024. 阅读更多：dYdX Chain 在网络升级后暂停区块生产 披露：本文不代表投资建议。本页内容和材料仅供教育之用。

比特币的走势很少是一帆风顺的，其最新一次暴跌与投资者和交易员在唐纳德·特朗普总统就职典礼后所预期的形成了鲜明对比。 经过最后检查，比特币（BTC）周日晚上的交易价格略高于 101,000 美元——下跌 3%。 特朗普因素 特朗普开始第二任期时，比特币爱好者们对未来持乐观态度，预计会推出一波支持加密货币的政策。然而，就职演说中没有提到任何数字资产，市场对此表示关注。 那些原本押注美国政府将对加密货币持友好态度的投资者却大失所望，引发了一波抛售潮。 更糟糕的是，一对与特朗普品牌挂钩的模因币——被称为“官方特朗普（TRUMP）”和“梅拉尼娅”——在市场掀起一股热潮，但随后却惨遭崩盘。 特朗普代币在推出几天后就贬值了一半，而梅拉尼娅代币的表现更糟，贬值了 74%。这些华而不实但昙花一现的举动给本已紧张不安的市场增添了不稳定性。 你可能还喜欢： 经济逆风 与此同时，美国强劲的经济数据发挥了双重作用。虽然传统市场的强劲表现让一些投资者感到安心，但也将资本从加密货币等风险较高的资产中转移出去。这些宏观经济力量的相互作用进一步加剧了比特币的困境。 希望的曙光 尽管出现动荡，比特币仍然具有重要价值，交易价格超过 100,000 美元——几年前许多人还认为这一水平是不可能的。 从长远来看，乐观情绪依然存在。贝莱德首席执行官拉里·芬克 (Larry Fink) 和其他加密货币多头以及提供交易所交易基金 (ETF) 的公司都预计加密货币将出现大幅上涨。 阅读更多：如果发生这种情况，卡尔达诺价格下个月可能会跌至 0.20 美元，因为 Remittix 趋势
