PANews reported on September 25 that according to official news, Bybit launched the 2026 VIP Return & Upgrade Exclusive Plan, providing four major participation paths to help traders quickly unlock or restore the exclusive rights and interests of VIP status.
Path 1: Restore VIP status. Users who have held the Bybit trading VIP level after September 2025 can apply to restore the corresponding level for free and go to the Welfare Center to get it.
Path two: VIP upgrade across offices. By showing the trading VIP level and 30-day trading volume of other exchanges (screen recording verification required), you can obtain a higher level on Bybit. During the event, if the spot trading volume exceeds US$1 million or the contract trading volume exceeds US$10 million, the upgrade period will be extended for an additional 30 days.
Path three: TradFi sustainable upgrade. Existing Bybit trading VIP users can upgrade to a higher level if they trade TradFi perpetual contracts (perpetual contracts on gold, S&P 500, foreign exchange and other assets) exceeding US$100,000.
Path 4: Invite friends for a win-win situation. If you successfully recommend a friend to join and reach VIP 1 level within 30 days, both parties will receive rewards; each inviter will receive an additional 100 USDT airdrop reward for each qualified friend he successfully recommends, with a maximum limit of 10 people.
Users can go to the event page to sign up, terms and conditions apply.
