DUBAI, UAE, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, now offers API access for its On-Chain Earn and Flexible Savings products. Expansion to other Earn product types is currently in progress. Full technical specifications and integration instructions are available in the official API documentation.
This new integration gives institutional users and developers the ability to connect directly with Bybit’s infrastructure, enabling efficient, automated, and scalable management of their yield-generating strategies.
Bybit’s On-Chain Earn products allows users to earn rewards by participating in blockchain-based (or “on-chain”) financial opportunities such as staking and liquidity protocols. These products provide users with a DeFi-like experience by enabling interaction with smart contracts on public blockchains without the need for technical expertise. Staking in the crypto world often demands significant technical know-how and dedicated hardware, making it inaccessible for many. Bybit’s On-Chain Earn removes these barriers by handling the complexities behind the scenes — including gas fees, node operations, and reward distribution — so users can stake with ease and confidence.
An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a tool that allows different software systems to communicate. Bybit’s API allows developers and institutional users to programmatically access On-Chain Earn and Flexible Savings functions through their own platforms, enhancing customization and operational control.
“Bridging centralized access with decentralized opportunity is one of our core missions,” said Jerry Li, Head of Earn & Wealth Management at Bybit. “With API support for On-Chain Earn, we’re giving power users the infrastructure they need to build, manage, and fine-tune strategies with the speed and precision the market demands.”
The API offers structured access to key functions, including:
- An overview of currently available On-Chain Earn products, with filters by token and product category (LST, non-LST, or Mint),
- Detailed product data such as estimated APYs, staking terms, redemption timelines, minimum and maximum limits, exchange rates, and reward distribution mechanisms,
- Historical and real-time tracking of staking and redemption,
- Summaries of current positions and accrued rewards,
- Programmatic access to eligible Earn products for subscription and redemption, tailored to each supported mechanism.
This release marks a key step in Bybit’s continued efforts to support advanced users with infrastructure that connects centralized tools to decentralized finance opportunities.

BTC Pricing Alert: Bitcoin Rebounds as Trump’s Trade War Comments Ignite Market Rally – Bybit x Block Scholes Report
DUBAI, UAE, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest weekly crypto derivatives analytics report in partnership with Block Scholes. The report highlights a shift in market sentiment following upbeat remarks from US President Trump on trade negotiations with China, which coincided with a broad rally in both crypto and equity markets.
Earlier last week, Bitcoin showed signs of decoupling from US equities. Following the announcement of a 145% tariff on Chinese goods and comments from Trump, BTC climbed by more than 7% from April 21, 2025, alongside broader risk assets. Short-tenor implied volatility rose, and put-call skew turned upward by 5%, indicating that traders had been positioning for further gains at the time.
Key Highlights:
Perpetual open interest rises across tokens
Perpetual futures open interest climbed significantly by 20% last week, particularly for ETH. Trading volumes also increased, with April 7, 2025 recording the highest daily volume for the month. The spike followed Trump’s comment: “Forget markets for a second, we have all the advantages.”
BTC option open interest shows a mixed picture; put-call skew in short tenor sends positive signals
President Trump’s recent willingness to negotiate a trade deal with China’s President Xi triggered a relief rally across asset classes, including crypto. Bitcoin had already risen 7% since Apr 21, 2025 prior to Trump’s comments. Despite this rally, open interest in puts has outpaced calls, with options volume remaining relatively balanced.
It’s unclear if the demand for puts reflects a hedge against downside risks, or a bet against the upward movement. Meanwhile, perpetual funding rates are providing limited insight into sentiment. However, the recovery of the put-call skew at short tenors indicates that traders are seeking upside exposure to the rally — and are willing to pay for it.
ETH outperforms BTC by 1% in the past week, signals rebound expectations
ETH led last week’s rally in spot markets — a rare occurrence in past relief rallies. Options data shows ETH calls nearly double puts in open interest, with calls also dominating volume. This suggests traders expect ETH to close its recent performance gap with BTC and competing chains like SUI and SOL. ETH’s term structure also inverted again, reflecting expectations of near-term price action.
