DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 4, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has announced an upgrade to its Bybit On-Chain Earn platform, significantly boosting the annualized return on Bitcoin (BTC) staking. The guaranteed yield has been increased from 0.8% to 1.2%, a 50% improvement over the previous offering.
The enhanced BTC staking solution is now live, offering a fixed 45-day term with no option for early redemption. Participants can subscribe with a maximum of 200 BTC. Upon maturity, users have the option to automatically renew their investment, allowing both principal and accrued returns to be reinvested seamlessly into the next staking cycle.
This update follows a period of consolidation in the BTC market, with the cryptocurrency holding steady around the $80,000 mark after rebounding from its August low of around $62,600. Despite this range-bound market, BTC continues to maintain its position above key moving averages, encouraging long-term holders to keep their investments active.
Bybit On-Chain Earn’s new BTC staking solution stands out by offering a guaranteed minimum return, setting it apart from variable-rate products where yields can fluctuate based on market conditions. The platform is designed to provide a straightforward way for BTC holders to generate yield on their idle assets while maintaining predictable, fixed-term commitments.
The partnership with Function, the protocol behind FBTC, marks an expansion of Bybit’s efforts to integrate decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi) solutions. Bybit aims to diversify user access to potential yield opportunities across the digital asset landscape, further solidifying its position as a leader in the cryptocurrency space.

Bybit’s commitment to providing accessible and innovative financial tools to a global audience is reflected in this latest update. The platform continues to offer a comprehensive suite of services, including investing, trading, payments, and wealth-building, all within a secure and intelligent ecosystem.
With the upgrade, Bybit is poised to provide enhanced value to its more than 80 million users worldwide, who can now benefit from a more predictable and higher-yielding staking option. The platform’s AI-powered technology, deep global liquidity, robust security, and transparent operations are expected to contribute to its continued growth and expansion.
As the cryptocurrency market remains volatile, Bybit’s latest move underscores its strategic focus on providing reliable and profitable investment opportunities for its users.
