Bybit adds tokenized Nvidia, Apple, Tesla stocks as loan collateral
Eligible retail and institutional users can use tokenized shares of Nvidia, Apple, Tesla and three other US companies across Bybit’s trading and lending products.
Dubai-based crypto exchange Bybit has enabled six tokenized stocks to serve as collateral for margin trading and lending products, expanding the financial utility of blockchain-based equities.
