Bybit Launchpad is Bybit exchange's IEO platform, growing in prominence as Bybit expanded to become one of the world's top 5 crypto exchanges by trading volume. Unlike Binance's BNH-centric model, Bybit Launchpad uses an account tier system based on total account value — making it more accessible to investors who hold diverse portfolios rather than concentrating in a single platform token.
How Bybit Launchpad Works
Bybit Launchpad operates on a subscription model similar to Binance but with account-value-based allocation rather than requiring specific token holdings:
- Account tier determination: Bybit calculates your account tier based on total portfolio value (spot + derivatives). Higher portfolio value = higher tier = larger maximum allocation.
- Subscription period: Eligible users subscribe USDT during the subscription window to participate in the token sale.
- Pro-rata allocation: Final allocation calculated proportionally — your subscription ÷ total subscription × available tokens.
- Token distribution: Tokens sent to your Bybit account; list on Bybit spot market soon after distribution.
Bybit vs Binance Launchpad
- Requirement: Bybit uses total account value (more accessible); Binance requires specific BNH holdings (concentrated exposure required)
- Project stage: Bybit often hosts slightly earlier-stage projects than Binance — higher upside potential but higher risk
- Oversubscription: Bybit typically sees lower oversubscription than Binance — larger allocations for similar capital levels
- US access: Both exclude US persons from most launches
- Post-listing liquidity: Binance has significantly higher liquidity — larger positions easier to exit on Binance
