Bybit Exchange Rolls Out Native USDC Support on Aptos; Deposits Begin 26 May UTC

Centralised crypto exchange Bybit has activated support for native USD Coin (USDC) on the Aptos network, giving traders and stable-asset users a straight-through route to move funds without relying on bridges or wrapped tokens.

According to information shared by industry monitor WuBlockchain, Bybit will open Aptos-based USDC deposit channels on 26 May 2025 at 10:00 UTC. Three days later, on 29 May 2025 at the same time, the exchange will enable withdrawals. The staggered schedule aligns with Bybit’s usual rollout pattern, allowing its systems to register incoming balances before outbound flows start.

Aptos now becomes one of several chains where USDC is minted natively, sitting alongside larger ecosystems such as Ethereum and Solana. Native issuance means the stablecoin is created directly on the network’s ledger, rather than bridged from another chain, removing a layer of smart-contract risk for users.

For Bybit customers, the listing expands multichain stablecoin flexibility at a time when on-chain liquidity and low-friction transfers remain a top priority. Traders already accustomed to Aptos’ high-throughput environment can fund their Bybit accounts with dollar-pegged assets without converting to wrapped versions. Conversely, those holding USDC on Bybit will have a direct path to Aptos-based decentralised applications once withdrawals open.

While the exchange did not publish further implementation details, the launch mirrors Bybit’s broader push to list emerging layer-one networks and support their native token standards. Aptos, built by former Meta engineers, has worked to secure liquidity by pursuing official USDC issuance; Bybit’s integration adds an avenue for retail and institutional inflows ahead of anticipated network upgrades later this year.

No additional fees or promotional campaigns were disclosed at the time of writing. Users should consult Bybit’s official channels for any subsequent announcements or technical guidelines before initiating deposits or withdrawals.
