BUDAPEST, Hungary, June 21st, 2025, Chainwire

Byreal, the ultimate onchain liquidity layer for real assets, officially announced its brand launch today. In collaboration with Bybit and Solana Foundation, the platform sets out to build towards a truly distributed financial system accessible to everyone.

A Platform with Laser-Sharp Purpose: Bringing Authenticity Back On-Chain

At its core, Byreal is building a genuine, open, and transparent financial order. It seeks to welcome both professional and retail participants into a unified onchain economy where capital is deployed with conviction.

This vision is a direct response to what the DeFi space has become: overrun by short-termism, unaudited promises, and superficial growth signals. Byreal believes it is time to reset the narrative—to build infrastructure that rewards substance over noise.

To achieve this, Byreal focuses on three core principles:

• Builder-first – empowering quality projects through curated listings and community-centric launch mechanisms
• Trader-centric – offering CEX-level execution and tooling without compromising DeFi values
• Liquidity-deep – bridging blue-chip and real-world assets with Solana’s composability and speed

This foundational ethos translates into a suite of flagship products purpose-built to rewire the DeFi experience.

Introduces 3 flagship Byreal products – from DEX, Launchpad to Vault

1. Byreal DEX

Powered by a smart-routing engine that fuses CLMM and RFQ, the Byreal DEX enables gasless, zero price impact trades with robust MEV protection. In internal benchmarks, the DEX achieved quote speeds of under 200ms, with RFQ orders consistently executing at requested terms, delivering zero slippage and zero gas fees, setting a new standard for decentralized trading on Solana.

2. Reset Launch

The platform’s launchpad introduces features like the Smart Price Ladder, Fairshare Engine, and price-based allocation mechanics, a direct answer to the industry-harming inefficiencies of blind airdrop farming. Reset Launch enables real investors to access high-quality IDOs with fairness, transparency, and aligned incentives.

3. Revive Vault

Offering frictionless yield strategies, Revive Vault includes bbSOL-exclusive vaults, diverse ecosystem selections, and integrated on/off-chain yield flows. This empowers users to deploy capital across Solana with efficiency, security, and competitive returns.

Together, these products form a unified, full-cycle growth engine, supporting asset discovery, trading, and yield generation in one composable interface. Additionally, Byreal provides real asset accessibility, dual liquidity engines, and institutional-grade execution into a unified, full-cycle growth engine supporting asset discovery, trading, and yield generation across multiple ecosystems.

Emily Bao, Founder of Byreal, said, “A great exchange doesn’t just facilitate transactions — it helps the world discover what’s truly valuable and gives those assets the liquidity they deserve. The next wave of value won’t be unlocked by hype, but by platforms that help real assets find real markets. Byreal is built to do exactly that — turning fragmented liquidity into unified opportunity.” 

Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, states, “The future of trading lies in the seamless integration of centralized and decentralized exchanges. Byreal embodies this vision by serving as the on-chain outpost of CEX while bringing blue-chip assets and institutional-grade liquidity into the decentralized world. Bybit is proud to pioneer this CEX+DEX integration trend, leading the way for a new era of unlocking unprecedented liquidity and market access.”

Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation, said, “Byreal’s focus on improving liquidity infrastructure and bringing capital market assets onchain is closely aligned with Solana’s long-term vision. We’re encouraged by the team’s approach to building DeFi-native tools that prioritize accessibility, efficiency, and composability on Solana.”

Byreal’s testnet is live now, with its mainnet launch scheduled for late Q3 2025.

Note: Byreal is a standalone entity. It is not accessible through, or affiliated with any product offerings from Bybit Global or Bybit EU.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 23rd, 2025, Chainwire

Bybit, the world’s second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, today shared insights from its Head of Derivatives, Shunyet Jan, following Bitcoin’s surge to a new all-time high. Shunyet attributes the historic rally to a powerful alignment of market catalysts and macroeconomic shifts, and projects continued upside if current conditions hold.

“Bitcoin’s climb to this all-time high underscores a transformative moment in the evolution of global finance,” said Shunyet. “We’re seeing a unique convergence of factors—regulatory clarity, institutional inflows, and macroeconomic shifts—that are accelerating mainstream adoption.”

Shunyet identifies three core drivers behind Bitcoin’s rally:

Regulatory Clarity on Stablecoins:

“The emergence of comprehensive legislation—such as the GENIUS Act—is establishing clearer guardrails for stablecoins. This fosters greater institutional confidence and reinforces the foundational infrastructure needed for broader crypto adoption.”

Sustained Spot ETF Inflows:

“Robust and consistent capital inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs signal that institutional investors are embracing Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class. These vehicles offer regulated access points, unlocking new sources of liquidity and long-term demand.”

Weaker US Dollar and Inverse Correlation:

“Bitcoin’s global nature makes it particularly responsive to macro trends. With the US dollar weakening, Bitcoin has benefited as an alternative store of value, further cementing its role as digital gold.”

While Bitcoin leads the current rally, Shunyet notes a measured outlook for the broader crypto market: “Ethereum and other large-cap digital assets are likely to benefit from Bitcoin’s momentum,” Shunyet added. “However, high interest rates and lingering macroeconomic uncertainty may limit upside potential for smaller altcoins in the near term.”

Looking ahead, Shunyet offered a bold projection:

“If current trends continue, our analysis suggests Bitcoin could reach $125,000 by the end of Q2. We remain bullish on Bitcoin’s role in shaping the future of finance.”

Bybit continues to provide a trusted, high-performance platform for both retail and institutional participants, enabling access to cutting-edge trading tools and a deep, liquid market.

Microsoft-backed Space and Time is the blockchain for ZK-proven data.

Space and Time, the Microsoft-backed blockchain for zero-knowledge (ZK)-proven data, is live on its public, permissionless mainnet. 

Space and Time is designed to deliver ZK-proven data to smart contracts to power a new generation of data-driven crypto applications. It indexes data from other major blockchains, including Ethereum, and stores it across a decentralized network of database validators. Developers can access, query ZK-prove and connect this data back to their smart contract using Proof of SQL, Space and Time’s sub-second ZK coprocessor for SQL database queries. 

“Prior to Space and Time, onchain applications had no way to query basic user data from a database of blockchain activity without introducing security risks and tampering. In addition, enterprises had no way to securely connect their cloud databases with smart contracts. Today we’re thrilled to announce the mainnet launch of Space and Time, which will empower developers to build sophisticated, data-driven onchain applications secured by cryptographic proofs,” said Scott Dykstra, Contributor #001 at Space and Time. 

Smart contracts today can’t natively access historical, cross-chain or offchain data, which limits the complexity of onchain apps. The next wave of onchain innovation—spanning everything from dynamic financial instruments to data-rich AI agents and tokenized real-world systems—will require a trustless database layer for complex data retrieval. Space and Time enables this with a verifiable, decentralized database network that gives smart contracts the ability to query the full history of Ethereum and beyond.

Space and Time was created by MakeInfinite Labs, a frontier protocol research lab that is backed by Microsoft and working alongside major financial institutions. In addition to its work on Space and Time, the firm has developed key technologies to the broader crypto ecosystem, such as Proof of SQL, Blitzar, an Elastic Network ZK Chain for Space and Time, and Chainlink DeFi Yield Index.

“At MakeInfinite Labs, we’re focused on building foundational infrastructure to enable the next generation of crypto applications. Contributing core technologies like Proof of SQL and the original architecture of Space and Time is part of that vision. We’re excited to see the ecosystem take this work forward and unlock new possibilities for verifiable, data-driven applications,” said Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs & Co-Founder of Space and Time.

Space and Time is secured by a decentralized set of validators, and anyone can contribute to the network by providing high-quality datasets, staking or running a validator node. 

About Space and Time

Space and Time is the blockchain for ZK-proven data, which enables smart contracts to trustlessly access and compute over data from any chain or source. Powered by Proof of SQL, a sub-second ZK coprocessor, Space and Time empowers developers to build more intelligent, data-rich applications with verifiable data.

Dubai, UAE, April 3rd, 2025, Chainwire

Gold prices have shattered previous records, exceeding $3,100 per ounce, reinforcing their position as a vital safe-haven asset in an increasingly volatile global landscape. Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, recognizes this critical market dynamic and reaffirms its commitment to providing the cryptocurrency community with seamless access to diverse financial opportunities. As the first crypto exchange to facilitate gold trading with USDT, Bybit empowers traders to capitalize on these exceptional market movements.

Shunyet Jan, Head of Derivatives and Institutions at Bybit, forecasts continued bullish momentum for gold, citing several key factors:

 Strategic Central Bank Accumulation:

• Asian central banks are actively diversifying their reserves, significantly increasing gold holdings while reducing reliance on the US dollar. This strategic shift creates sustained demand and exerts upward pressure on gold prices. Many nations are driven by the desire to reduce dependency on the US dollar, and to have more diversified reserve assets.

Persistent Geopolitical Instability:

• The anticipated implementation of new tariffs under the Trump administration introduces significant geopolitical uncertainty. These tensions, coupled with existing global conflicts, are expected to persist, driving investors towards the stability of gold.
• The uncertainty surrounding the global trade situation will cause market volatility, which in turn will increase the demand for safe haven assets.

Gold as a Reliable Inflation Hedge:

• Gold’s established role as an inflation hedge remains crucial, particularly as concerns about rising prices intensify. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which have demonstrated increased correlation with broader market trends, gold maintains its inverse relationship with inflationary pressures.
• Because of the possibility of rising inflation caused by the new tariffs, and other worldwide economic factors, investors are moving to gold to protect their assets.

Bybit’s proactive approach to market trends led to the introduction of Gold & FX Trading in August 2024, followed by the launch of Copy Trading for Gold & FX in January 2025. These initiatives have democratized access to traditional financial markets, catering to traders of all experience levels. Highlighting the platform’s popularity, Bybit saw a remarkable $10 billion in gold trading volume yesterday alone.

Additionally, Bybit will launch XAUTUSDT perpetual contracts today, providing traders with even more opportunities to engage with gold markets in a crypto-native environment.

“Bybit’s strategic integration of Gold & FX trading, combined with our innovative Copy Trading, demonstrates our commitment to empowering traders with diverse and accessible opportunities,” added Shunyet Jan.
