Bybit Becomes First Exchange to Offer Direct Access to USDtb Minting and Redemption
DUBAI, UAE, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has introduced a major upgrade to its On-Chain Earn product, making it the first exchange to offer direct minting and redemption of USDtb without any access restrictions. Users can now access USDtb instantly — no applications, no waiting. USDtb is a next-generation stablecoin developed by Ethena, designed to maintain a 1:1 value with the U.S. dollar. Rather than being backed by cash reserves, USDtb is collateralized by U.S. Treasury assets — yield-generating government securities. This structure enables USDtb to offer the best of both worlds: the stability of traditional finance combined with the speed and flexibility of crypto. For users, it provides access to a liquid and income-generating asset, all in one. With this update, users can now mint USDtb directly by depositing USDT, USDC, or USDe through Bybit. The process is fast, simple, and requires no intermediaries. When it's time to redeem, USDtb can be instantly swapped back into those same stablecoins — no delays, no hidden steps. "Stablecoin yield is entering a new era," said Emily Bao, Head of Spot at Bybit. "Bybit's integration of direct USDtb minting removes longstanding barriers and empowers users with the autonomy and liquidity they expect from the future of on-chain finance." Before this upgrade, getting USDtb was limited to spot trading or restricted access through Ethena. Now, with Bybit On-Chain Earn, anyone who completes Identity Verification Level 1 and deposits at least 5,000 USDT, USDC, or USDe can start minting USDtb right away — and automatically earn dynamic yields without staking or lock-ups. There are no gas fees, and the process takes just one transaction. USDtb minting is now live on Bybit On-Chain Earn. Full terms and details are available on the platform. #Bybit / #TheCryptoArk About Bybit Bybit is the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, serving a global community of over 70 million users.

Tokenized Gold Hits Record $1.4B Market Cap as Trading Volumes Soar in March
The market capitalization of tokenized gold climbed to a record $1.4 billion in March with trading volumes soaring to yearly highs, CoinDesk Data's monthly stablecoin report shows. The growth in market value and activity happened alongside the physical yellow metal's rally to fresh all-time highs above $3,000 per ounce. Tether's gold-backed token (XAUT) and Paxos' PAXG dominate among the offerings, with market capitalizations of $749 million and $653 million, respectively. The trading volume with gold tokens surpassed $1.6 billion through the month, the highest level in more than a year, according to the report. The overall stablecoin market, which includes tokens with prices pegged to fiat currencies and commodities, climbed above $231 billion market cap this month, growing for the 18th consecutive month, the report said. Tether's USDT, the largest stablecoin on the market, also increased to a record supply of $144 billion. However, its market share dropped to the lowest level (62.1%) since March 2023 as the stablecoin landscape is getting increasingly competitive. Circle's USDC, the second-largest stablecoin, grew 7% in a month to near $60 billion. Decentralized finance protocol Ethena's recently launched dollar stablecoin USDtb, which uses BlackRock's tokenized money market fund BUIDL as a reserve asset, quickly gobbled up over $1 billion of assets to become the 8th largest by market cap. In terms of trading volumes on centralized exchanges, USDT's dominance slightly declined, but still stood above competition at 75.7% through the month among the top ten stablecoins. Meanwhile, USDC and Hong Kong-based First Digital's FDUSD saw their trading market cap dominance rise to 13.6% and 10%, respectively. Regulatory shifts have been reshaping the market of euro-denominated stablecoins, as exchanges moved to comply with the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. Kraken delisted USDT and other non-compliant stablecoins for European users, following the footsteps of other exchanges such as Coinbase and Circle's EURC stablecoin was a notable beneficiary of the developments, growing nearly 30% to $157 million market cap and claiming a 45% market share of all euro stablecoins.
