Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is unveiling a new 30,000 USDT prize pool to encourage safe AI agent integration. From June 16 to July 15, the new initiative pairs user rewards with educational resources to guide traders through responsible use of Bybit AI Subaccounts.
In response to demonstrated user demand for AI-assisted trading, Bybit developed and released a series of AI capabilities in 2026, followed by the launch of AI Subaccounts in May 2026. The feature has since been available to all Bybit users, with thousands of traders connecting an AI agent operating through an AI Sub-Account by default, ensuring baseline asset protection for early AI adopters.
Completing Tasks for Guaranteed Rewards
With Bybit AI Subaccounts, AI-ready users who are looking to scale their trading capacity with their preferred AI co-pilots. Users can now plug in an autonomous agent of their choice while limiting agentic access and permissions with built-in security parameters. The limited time prize pool can be unlocked in two ways:
- KYC-verified users can create their first AI Subaccount to receive welcome rewards
- Users may execute their first AI agent trade with at least 500 USDT to fulfil trading tasks
Each task generates one entry into a 30,000 USDT prize pool, up to entries per eligible user. The draw pool is on a first-come, first-serve basis, with guaranteed prizes for each entry up to 100 USDT.
Security Architecture as Foundation
The Bybit AI subaccount type is separate from regular accounts, giving users precise and tailored control of their AI trading agents. With AI subaccount, users can assign new AI agents or experimental strategies to operate in a ringfenced environment before broader deployment, allowing safer validation and performance monitoring without risking primary account holdings
The set-up helps prevent unauthorized or unintended access to assets by agents. Trader-controlled restrictions allow account owners to set key parameters including maximum asset allocation, withdrawal disabling, and leverage limits.
This architecture directly addresses emerging risks associated with AI agent integration at scale, where compromised agents, code vulnerabilities, or rogue agents could trigger unauthorized fund transfers or forced liquidations.
