Bybit Unveils New Cryptocurrency Derivatives Exchange To Challenge Bitmex

Fierce Competition in the Cryptocurrency markets is no strange to any of us. Take for example, In the old days when Bitfinex was ruling the Bitcoin trading war, and Binance was considered a low volume Chinese exchange.

Bitcoin platforms keep falling and rising at a rapid pace. New competitors are always on the verge of challenging old long-reigning kings. And the constant battle to remain at the top keeps getting harder.

Ben Zhou, Co-Founder at Bybit exchange, wants to claim Arthur Hayes, CEO of Bitmex, trading derivative throne.

With a staggering Bitcoin & Ethereum volume, which increased more than 20 folds during the recent Bitcoin rally, Ben Zhou may have a chance.
