Bybit Introduces BOB to P2P: Bolivian Traders Can Now Buy, Sell in Local Currency and Earn Commissions
DUBAI, UAE, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has expanded its peer-to-peer (P2P) platform to support the Bolivian Bolíviano (BOB), enabling users in Bolivia to buy and sell crypto with their national currency for the first time on the platform.
In addition to enhancing local access to digital assets, Bybit is launching a new merchant program that invites users to list BOB trading ads and earn generous bi-weekly commissions. High-performing merchants can earn up to 400 USDT every two weeks, with added incentives for those listing in multiple fiat currencies.
“Expanding our P2P platform to include BOB is a reflection of our dedication to financial inclusion and local empowerment,” said Mazurka Zeng, Head of Fiat at Bybit. “We’re proud to offer Bolivian users more ways to access crypto markets while also opening the door to new opportunities”.
Bybit P2P merchants receive tailored support, including 1-to-1 customer service and faster appeal resolutions. To qualify for rewards, merchants must maintain active listings for a specified number of hours each week and meet trading volume and order count targets. Performance is reviewed every two weeks, and rewards are distributed through the Rewards Hub.
This launch represents another step in Bybit’s ongoing commitment to bring crypto access and earning potential to communities around the world through localized, user-friendly P2P services.
Bybit is actively expanding in the LATAM market and has seen a consistent rise in user requests from Bolivia to support the Boliviano (BOB) on its P2P platform. As crypto adoption continues to grow across the region, adding BOB would enhance accessibility for local users and empower them to engage more easily with the digital asset economy.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has released its April 2025 trading highlights, showcasing impressive results in token performance, early listing advantages, and community-driven events like airdrops.
Key Takeaways:
- MEXC listed 160 new tokens in April, led by trends in Meme, GameFi, AI, and DePIN sectors.
- Top 10 new listings delivered an average of 832.33% ATH return, with HOUSE soaring +3,830%.
- Tokens with high spot trading volume saw daily returns averaging 403.49%.

- Airdrop+ campaigns reached 40,000+ participants, distributing about $1.5M in token rewards with a 40 USDT average return per user.
According to the report, MEXC listed 160 new tokens in April, a 16.79% increase compared to March. This increase was driven by surging user interest in sectors such as Meme coins, GameFi, AI, and DePIN. This expansion of early-access opportunities reflects MEXC’s agile listing strategy and commitment to supporting new niches and communities.
Top New Listings Deliver 832% Average Peak Returns
MEXC’s strategic approach to listings paid off, with the top 10 tokens achieving an average all-time high return of 832.33%. HOUSE led the pack, posting a remarkable +3830.90% gain, followed by SEED (+952.63%) and TROLLSOL (+831.31%). These high performers span ecosystems including Solana, Sui, BSC, Ethereum, and Babylon.
Strong Daily Performance Tied to Trading Volume
April’s top 10 tokens by spot trading volume also posted robust short-term returns, with an average 24-hour return of 403.49%. Among them were the following assets:
- WCT (+849.40%)
- BANK (+937.10%)
- BABY (+738.00%)
The early token growth metrics highlight that activity on the platform is an important signal for early traders.
MEXC Empowers Traders with Early Price Discovery Capabilities

Airdrop+ has proven itself as a tool not only for attracting but also activating users, especially in Asian and emerging markets. A recent MEXC report based on the analysis of more than 100 campaigns in recent months revealed that up to 35% of new users register through participation in airdrop activities. Users involved in the campaign were more likely to continue active trading and participate in subsequent IDO/IEO offerings on the platform.
