Dubai, UAE, March 13th, 2026, Chainwire
Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced the launch of AI Trading Skill, a feature that enables users to execute crypto trades, access market data, and manage assets using simple natural language through any major AI assistant, including ChatGPT, OpenClaw, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and Windsurf. With zero installation, universal AI compatibility, and 253 API endpoints, the launch marks a significant step toward agentic trading — where AI interprets user intent and executes actions seamlessly.
Key Advantages
- Zero installation: No Node Package Manager (NPM), Command Line Interface (CLI), Software Development Kit（SDK) or configuration files — get started instantly.
- Universal AI compatibility: Works with all major AI platforms and assistants.
- Automatic updates: The Skill updates automatically alongside Bybit’s platform, ensuring users always have access to the latest features.
Full Market Access, Powered by AI
Behind the natural-language interface lies Bybit’s complete trading ecosystem. With six modules, Bybit AI Skills enables everything from querying live prices to executing complex orders. The 253 API endpoints allow users to chain commands, follow up with additional queries, and manage their portfolio intuitively — all without ever touching a traditional trading interface.
- Market Intelligence: Querying real-time prices, candle lines, order book depth, and funding rates.
- Spot Trading: Executing market buy/sell, limit orders, and batch operations.
- Derivatives Trading: Leverage trading, take-profit/stop-loss, and conditional orders.
- Earn: Flexible Savings and On-Chain Earn.
- Account & Assets: Accessing account information, deposits, withdrawals, and currency conversion.
- Advanced Features: Real-time market intelligence and execution tools through WebSocket streams, including margin lending (e.g., “Borrow 10,000 USDT”), price differential trading (e.g., “Place a price difference order”), and RFQ pricing (e.g., “Get BTC options bulk pricing”).
Bybit has long been committed to unlocking trading power through AI. Previous releases, including TradeGPT and other platform AI tools, assisted users in making informed investment decisions across market analysis and strategy. With AI Trading Skill,, Bybit delivers its most comprehensive AI integration to date — end-to-end coverage across the entire trading and digital asset wealth management journey. By turning complex market operations into simple conversations, Bybit sets a new standard for what an intelligent trading experience can be.
Security Designed for Safe AI-Powered Trading
While the experience feels as simple as chatting with an AI assistant, Bybit has embedded multiple safeguards into the AI Trading Skills framework to ensure that user assets remain protected at every step.
New users are first guided through testnet trading, allowing them to experiment with AI-driven commands in a simulated environment before interacting with real funds. When switching to live trading, all transactions require explicit user confirmation, ensuring that traders retain full control over every order.
The Skill manages the connection between the AI assistant and Bybit’s infrastructure through secure API authentication, eliminating the need for users to manually configure complex credentials or expose sensitive information during setup. Every instruction issued by the AI is translated into precise API calls and executed only after passing platform security checks.
By combining conversational simplicity with layered security controls, Bybit ensures that AI-powered trading remains both intuitive and safe — giving users confidence to explore this new way of interacting with crypto markets, backed by enterprise-grade infrastructure.

Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced the integration of Bybit Pay into the Mastercard Crypto Credential network. The integration enables Bybit Pay users to send and receive digital assets using simple, verified aliases issued under Mastercard Crypto Credential standards – such as a phone number or an email address – while adding more governance requirements, therefore, an additional layer of trust and assurance to every transfer.
Unlike traditional crypto transfers, which rely on long wallet addresses and limited visibility into the recipient, Mastercard Crypto Credential helps verify that both sender and recipient are legitimate, compliant participants under applicable standards before a transaction is initiated. This allows users to send crypto via an easy-to-remember alias, with greater confidence that the recipient’s wallet supports the selected digital asset and blockchain network – helping reduce the risk of errors or misdirected funds before any crypto is sent.
Trust and assurance – built into every transfer
Mastercard Crypto Credential is designed to bring greater clarity and consistency to crypto transactions. Before any transfer occurs, the solution confirms that the recipient is:
- An enrolled user of Mastercard Crypto Credential
- Verified under applicable Mastercard Crypto Credential standards, supporting compliance requirements
- Technically compatible, meaning their wallet supports the selected cryptocurrency and blockchain network
By performing these checks upfront, users gain greater confidence that funds are being sent to the right person, on the right network, under the right conditions — before any crypto leaves their wallet.
The collaboration brings Mastercard’s trusted global payments network and standards-based infrastructure to Bybit Pay, the next-generation payment solution designed to simplify transactions across fiat and cryptocurrencies. Together, Bybit and Mastercard aim to deliver more secure and user-friendly crypto transfers for users worldwide.
Key features:
- Alias-based transfers: Send crypto using a Mastercard Crypto Credential alias, removing the need to share long wallet addresses.
- Pre-transaction verification: Confirms recipient enrollment and verifies asset and network compatibility before sending. If unsupported, the sender is notified and the transaction does not proceed.
- Global, multi-chain interoperability: Transact with other enrolled users across participating exchanges, wallets, and supported blockchains within the Mastercard Crypto Credential network.
- Built-in trust and assurance: Every transfer is validated before execution — reducing the risk of fraud, misdirected funds, and failed transactions.
“Crypto should be as easy to use as any other form of payment in our daily lives,” said Sophie Chen, Head of Marketing at Bybit Card and Bybit Pay. “With Mastercard Crypto Credential on Bybit Pay, we’re removing technical barriers that have kept digital assets feeling complicated. Now, sending crypto is as simple as texting a friend: just use their email or phone number, with security built in and zero learning curve.”
“Mastercard is building the connective tissue that makes digital assets usable and trusted at scale,” said Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president, Blockchain & Digital Assets at Mastercard. “Bringing Bybit into the Mastercard Crypto Credential network expands that foundation, enabling more people to benefit from a consistent, secure way to interact across platforms. It’s another step toward a more unified and reliable digital asset ecosystem.”
How it works on Bybit Pay
Getting started with Mastercard Crypto Credential on Bybit Pay takes just three simple steps. First, users activate Bybit Pay through the Bybit App. Next, they may create their Mastercard Crypto Credential username using their email address or phone number and select their supported blockchain networks.
Once enrolled, users can immediately send and receive crypto with other Mastercard Crypto Credential users across participating platforms using their alias, with added confidence that wallet compatibility and applicable verification checks occur before funds are sent.
Building the Future of Payment, One Node at a Time
Mastercard Crypto Credential connects a growing network of exchanges and digital asset service providers, helping bring more trust, interoperability, and simplicity to blockchain transactions. As a major global exchange partner, Bybit is helping expand Mastercard Crypto Credential’s reach and bring its capabilities to millions of crypto-native users.
Through Bybit Pay, Bybit is building an organic ecosystem that makes digital assets part of everyday life. The integration of Mastercard Crypto Credential reinforces Bybit’s commitment to delivering the simplicity and security users expect from modern financial services.
On March 11, 2026, Bybit was among the first batch of industry leaders in Mastercard’s Crypto Partner Program, a new global initiative bringing together more than 85 crypto-native companies to create a forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration.

“Geopolitical tensions often trigger ripple effects across global markets, influencing currencies, commodities, equities, and digital assets at the same time. For traders, this creates a broader set of opportunities, particularly when they can move efficiently between asset classes. The ability to use crypto capital to access global markets is becoming an increasingly important advantage in this environment,” said Jonatan Randin, Senior Market Analyst at PrimeXBT.

The ability to deploy crypto capital across multiple markets enables traders to diversify exposure and respond to opportunities across both traditional and digital asset markets.

OmniPact, a decentralized protocol building a trust layer for peer-to-peer transactions of physical and digital assets, announced today it has raised $50 million in a private funding round. The investment will speed up the development of its mainnet, integration of cross-chain features, and deployment of its decentralized arbitration module.
The funding round was backed by a consortium of institutional investors and family offices that requested anonymity. Investors voiced confidence in OmniPact’s technical roadmap and its ability to set new standards for secure, intermediary-free transactions across Web4 and traditional commerce.
A significant share of the proceeds will fund the final development and security audits of OmniPact’s core contracts and multi-chain infrastructure. The funds will also support the protocol’s testnet launch, scheduled for Q1 2026, and expand the engineering team to accelerate the integration of real-world asset (RWA) and AI agent transaction capabilities.

This investors’ confidence lets us execute our roadmap and bring secure, decentralized custody to a global audience.”
OmniPact protocol addresses the “trust problem” in peer-to-peer transactions by using smart contracts as on-chain guarantors. Combining algorithmic custody with decentralized arbitration and reputation systems, it enables secure exchanges without centralized platforms—with the new funding set to bring this vision to market.

x402, the open-source internet-native payment protocol developed by Coinbase, is now supported on Etherlink, the EVM-compatible interface for Tezos. The integration, dubbed Tez402 and led by TZ APAC, makes it possible to turn any Etherlink API into a pay-per-request endpoint using on-chain stablecoin payments with no subscriptions, invoicing, or intermediaries.
x402 enables instant, low-cost crypto payments for digital services, purpose-built for scenarios where traditional payment methods are too slow, too expensive, or simply don’t fit. x402 works by reviving the dormant HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code, enabling servers to request crypto payments directly through standard HTTP headers. TZ APAC has adapted the existing Coinbase implementation for practical, end-to-end use on Etherlink, adding a facilitator and a Permit2 proxy so that payments can be made with ERC-20 tokens while remaining non-custodial and destination-locked.
“For builders and users alike, this brings 402-native payments to Etherlink in a practical way. It turns APIs into payment-aware endpoints, enables settlement in compatible tokens on-chain, and creates the kind of internet-native commerce rail needed for an emerging agentic economy,” said David Tng, Managing Director of TZ APAC.
The release targets a broad range of use cases across the ecosystem: API and SaaS teams looking to add pay-per-request without managing subscriptions, Web3 applications monetising endpoints on Etherlink, and wallet, SDK, and infrastructure teams seeking a concrete x402 integration target. The implementation is also intended to serve as a known-good reference for hackathon teams and ecosystem builders.
The x402 integration is available now on Etherlink mainnet. Projects and developers looking to accept x402 as a payment method can get started today by following the quick start guide. They can choose to settle transactions using the TZ APAC facilitator or integrate their own facilitator. Learn more and begin implementing x402 here: https://bit.ly/Tez402_PR

CryptoJets, a global private jet and helicopter brokerage, has announced a partnership with Transacta to support the growing demand for cryptocurrency payments in private aviation.
The growing demand for fast and secure crypto payments
Demand for cryptocurrency payment options in luxury travel continues to grow as wealth shifts toward younger generations. The private aviation sector is increasingly embracing digital currencies, driven by both practical needs and broader market development.
Built for travelers who value privacy, speed, and flexibility, CryptoJets operates with access to a global network of more than 5,000 charter operators, providing on-demand private jet and helicopter services to clients worldwide.

Through its partnership with Transacta, CryptoJets is expanding its route network and operational capacity across 180 countries while offering clients a more streamlined way to process high-value charter payments.
“Crypto payments have already been part of how our clients prefer to pay,” said Erik Rand, Head of Operations at CryptoJets. “This partnership allows us to process those payments faster, improve settlement across markets, and scale our operations without compromising on compliance or client experience.”

Transacta‘s financial rails allow CryptoJets to process large transactions in crypto and settle them in fiat to their bank account within 1–2 business days, meeting all legal requirements.

Threshold Network, the decentralized blockchain protocol behind tBTC, has introduced an update to its decentralized application featuring an all-in-one Unified Bitcoin App that enables users to route Bitcoin across major chains through a single interface.
This new unified routing interface brings minting, redeeming, bridging, tracking, and native BTC swaps into a single application: The Threshold App. Users can now move Bitcoin across ecosystems through a coordinated system, rather than stitching together multiple tools or navigating between different Decentralized protocols.
This release simplifies how Bitcoin enters and moves across DeFi, offering a more user-friendly on-chain experience with tBTC. Whether a transaction requires a swap, a bridge, or multiple steps, execution is seamlessly coordinated through a single interface
Coordinated Execution Instead of Fragmented Workflows
Historically, moving BTC into tBTC and across chains required multiple disconnected workflows: minting in one app, bridging via another protocol, swapping on separate exchanges, and manually checking the best price for each transaction. This fragmented process introduced friction, higher execution risk, added costs, and unnecessary complexity for users attempting to access DeFi with Bitcoin.
The Threshold All-in-one Bitcoin Liquidity App streamlines this experience by consolidating minting, bridging, swapping, and cost tracking into a single coordinated interface. Instead of manually comparing bridges and liquidity venues, users receive optimized routing options based on cost, speed, and reliability, such as the fastest or lowest-cost path: all within the Threshold Network App.
By abstracting multi-step transactions into a single seamless flow, the router significantly lowers the barrier for Bitcoin holders to use BTC across major ecosystems, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Sui, Starknet, and other integrated chains. The result is a simpler, more efficient way to move Bitcoin into DeFi.
Native BTC Execution with Deep Liquidity
Native BTC swaps are integrated directly into the routing engine, leveraging deep Ethereum liquidity to deliver competitive pricing and more efficient execution compared to fragmented, chain-specific pools.
“Capital should move efficiently across chains without requiring users to manage infrastructure decisions,” said MacLane Wilkison, Co-Founder of Threshold Network. “The new Threshold Bitcoin app coordinates liquidity sourcing and settlement behind the interface, enabling more efficient Bitcoin deployment across ecosystems.”
The update also strengthens the utility of Threshold’s token (T). The App tracks staked $T from the connected wallet and automatically applies minting and redemption fee waivers for eligible users. Gasless minting remains available as an opt-in feature, further reducing transaction costs.
Additionally, the router enables streamlined conversions from assets such as WBTC and cbBTC directly into tBTC on the destination chain, providing more direct and efficient access to Bitcoin liquidity across DeFi ecosystems.
Integrated Infrastructure Across Major Networks. Currently, the router connects Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Sui, and Starknet within one coordinated framework. It integrates native tBTC mint and redeem flows, established bridging infrastructure, and DEX aggregation to ensure reliable settlement across chains.
All transactions are tracked in real time and are fully resumable. If a user disconnects or closes a session, progress is preserved. Fee logic is staking-aware, with eligible T stakers seeing applicable redemption fees waived directly within the interface.
New Features:
- Unified Routing Interface: Enables minting, redeeming, swapping, and bridging from a single entry point. Users select source and destination assets, and the system automatically constructs the optimal execution path.
- Multi-Chain Connectivity: Supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Sui, and StarkNet within a single coordinated framework. Users can move BTC or tBTC across ecosystems without managing separate bridge interfaces.
- Smart Route Discovery and Ranking: Automatically evaluates possible transaction paths and ranks them by cost, speed, reliability, and simplicity. Users are presented with clearly labeled best options.
- Native BTC Swaps: Provides direct access to BTC liquidity with competitive execution, while enabling seamless conversion of assets such as cbBTC or wBTC into tBTC on a user’s chosen destination network.
- Integrated Liquidity and Bridging Stack: Connects tBTC mint and redeem flows with established bridging infrastructure and DEX aggregation to coordinate multi-step transactions seamlessly.
- Resumable Transactions: Persists in-flight operations, allowing users to refresh, disconnect, or return later without losing progress. Reduces failed cross-chain flows and operational friction
- $T Staking-Aware Fee Display: Recognizes T staking status and surfaces fee waivers directly in the interface, reinforcing participation incentives.
- Unified tBTC Explorer and Transaction Tracking: The new explorer section of the app consolidates historical mint, redeem, bridge, and swap activity into a single view, improving transparency and user oversight.
Impact for Users and Stakeholders
This release expands the utility of tBTC across six ecosystems while increasing throughput across minting, bridging, and swap flows. By embedding routing intelligence directly into the protocol interface, Threshold captures more activity within its infrastructure and further strengthens staking incentives tied to network usage.
With this launch, Threshold advances its role from Bitcoin asset issuance to core infrastructure for Bitcoin mobility, coordinating capital movement seamlessly across chains and unlocking more efficient access to decentralized finance.
Users can explore the new Bitcoin App today at https://app.threshold.network
About Threshold Network
Threshold Network is the decentralized protocol behind tBTC, a non-custodial, 1:1 Bitcoin-backed asset secured by a 51-of-100 threshold signer model. tBTC enables native BTC to move across chains like Ethereum, Base, Sui, Arbitrum, and Starknet without requiring custodians or compromising security. With over 6 years of proven security and about $5.1B in bridge volume, Threshold offers the most battle-tested, trust-minimized Bitcoin infrastructure onchain.

Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today revealed the comprehensive results of its 2025 Security Initiative. Bybit has implemented an industry-leading, multi-layered defense architecture that has successfully protected thousands of users and set a new benchmark for proactive security in the digital asset space. In 2025, $17 billion in cryptocurrency was lost to scams and frauds, according to a report by Chainalysis.
Redefining Industry Standards: The Triple-Tier withdrawal Fraudulent Defense Framework
To move beyond reacting to scams after the damage is done, Bybit has pioneered a Dynamic Risk-Based protection system that steps in before money is lost. The system divides potential scam situations into three levels of risk. Each level has a different response – designed to protect the withdrawal process of users while keeping the platform smooth for normal trading activity.
Tier 1: Early Warning (Low Risk): Utilizing big-data heuristics to identify unusual patterns—such as mass withdrawals to a singular new address—Bybit deploys automated surveys. These insights allow the Risk Operations team to preemptively blacklist dangerous destinations.
Tier 2: Real-time Alert (Medium Risk): For accounts flagged via credential stuffing databases(cross-referencing leaked data from the external web) or suspicious withdrawal addresses, Bybit triggers real-time alerts during withdrawal. The alert encourages users to pause and review the withdrawal, a step aimed at countering social engineering tactics that rely on urgency or emotional pressure.
Tier 3: Immediate Blocking and Cooling-off (High Risk): For wallet addresses linked to confirmed scams, including so-called “pig butchering” investment schemes, Bybit implements Real-time Withdrawal Blocking paired with a mandatory One-Hour Cooling-Off Period, providing a vital window for users to regain composure and verify the transaction.
2025 Impact & Key Metrics: By the Numbers
The effectiveness of these measures implemented in Q4 2025 has yielded unprecedented results for user safety:
- Scam Recovery & Prevention in Q4: Out of $500 million in flagged withdrawals, Bybit successfully intercepted and recovered $300 million, protecting the life savings of over 4,000 users.
- AI-Driven Detection in Q4: Bybit’s proprietary AI algorithms identified 350 high-risk investment fraud addresses via on-chain data, shielding 8,000 users from potential withdrawal losses.
- Infrastructure Resilience in 2025: The platform successfully thwarted over 3 million credential stuffing (account takeover) attempts by hackers.
- On-Chain Vigilance in Q4: The system auto-labeled 350 addresses and manually tagged 600 addresses through ticket operations, saving $1 million in imminent fraud losses.
A Collaborative Fortress: Industry & Government Synergy
Bybit believes that security is not a competitive advantage but a collective responsibility. Our 2025 strategy focused heavily on External Intelligence Integration:
“Our mission in 2025 was to transform risk control from a ‘silent shield’ into an active, intelligent guardian,” said David Zong, Head of Group Risk Control at Bybit. “By integrating AI-driven on-chain monitoring with real-time intelligence from industry partners like TRM , Elliptic and Chainalysis, we not only just protect Bybit users, but also help map the DNA of fraudulent networks. We are sharing these standardized monitoring clues across the ecosystem because a safer industry for one is a safer industry for all.”
