How does Bybit IPO Express work?

Participation process
Step 1: Register for the offering
Log in to your Bybit account, go to the Bybit IPO Express page, and select an available offering. Review the offering details, price range, timeline, and participation requirements before you register.
Step 2: Submit your subscription
During the subscription period, enter your subscription amount and select a supported crypto asset, such as USDC.
Step 3: Fund lockup
Your subscription funds are temporarily locked during the offering period and cannot be withdrawn until allocations are finalized.
Step 4: Allocation calculation
Once subscriptions close, allocations are calculated on a pro-rata basis according to your committed amount relative to total subscription demand.
Step 5: Asset distribution and refund
Allocated assets are credited to your Funding Account. Any unused funds are automatically refunded. You can trade your allocated assets on Bybit Spot once trading begins.

The final IPO price is not fixed in advance. During the subscription period, users will only see the indicative price range. After subscriptions close, the final offering price is determined through the project's pricing process before listing.
How is my allocation calculated?
Allocations are calculated based on subscription demand, your committed amount, and the final allocation confirmed by the underwriter.
When will my funds be locked?
Once your subscription is submitted successfully, the corresponding funds are temporarily locked until the allocation process is completed. Subscription orders cannot be canceled during this period.
What happens to unused funds?
Unused funds are automatically refunded after the final allocation is completed.
Are there any additional participation fees?
Bybit does not charge additional participation fees for IPO subscriptions. Network conversion or protocol-related fees may apply where applicable.
When can I trade or withdraw my allocated assets?
Allocated assets generally become available for trading and withdrawal after the asset is officially listed on Bybit Spot. Refer to the listing announcement for the exact schedule.
What are the risks of participating in IPO offerings?
IPO-related assets may experience significant price volatility after listing. Offerings may also be delayed, modified, suspended, or canceled due to market, regulatory, or project-related factors. Review the associated risks carefully before participating.
