Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has introduced two easy-to-use account modes on Bybit TradFi, designed to help both new and experienced users start trading traditional assets with confidence.
The new account modes, Zero-Fee mode and Tight-Spread mode, give users a clear choice in how they access markets such as gold, FX, and stocks, depending on their cost preferences and trading experience. Both operate on industry-standard foreign exchange brokerage models, with the primary distinction being how transaction costs are applied and displayed.

Under Zero-Fee mode, users can trade gold and other TradFi products with no separate commission charges, as trading costs are incorporated into the spread. This simplified structure makes it especially beginner-friendly, allowing anyone to get started right away without needing to manage complex fee calculations. Tight-Spread mode, by contrast, offers narrower spreads with a transparent commission structure, a format typically favored by more active traders who prioritize precision pricing and tighter market execution.
To make onboarding seamless, Zero-Fee mode is set as the default option for all new TradFi users, enabling them to start trading immediately. Eligible users may switch to Tight-Spread mode at any time, provided they accumulate a total TradFi deposit of at least 3,000 USDT in their TradFi account and have no open positions or pending orders at the time of the switch. Account mode changes can be completed through both the Bybit app and web platform within the TradFi trading interface.
The launch builds on a year of significant TradFi product expansion. In 2025, Bybit introduced U.S. stock CFD trading, expanded easy access to gold and FX trading under the unified TradFi banner, and completed web integration to enable seamless web-based trading. These developments reinforce Bybit TradFi’s commitment to making traditional markets more accessible to everyday traders.
The introduction of dual account modes reflects Bybit TradFi’s continued focus on lowering the barrier to entry while still supporting advanced trading strategies, maintaining transparency and consistency in pricing structures.
