Event Summary

Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, launched 'Build Your AI Future City,' a gamified promotional campaign running from August 20 to September 20, 2026. The campaign allows eligible users to collect and swap AI-themed digital landmarks representing six companies at the center of the AI supply chain: Western Digital — Sandisk, Nvidia, Marvell Technology, Dell Technologies, Oracle Corporation, and Adobe Inc. With a combined prize pool of up to $300,000, including rewards of up to $2,500 per user, prizes are paid out as position airdrops on the six companies' TradFi Perpetual Contracts on Bybit. The campaign includes three segments: 'Build Your City' (task-based collection), 'Grow Your City' (referral leaderboard), and 'Citizen Bonus' (referral rewards). This initiative is part of Bybit's broader TradFi and RWA strategy, following the introduction of TradFi Perpetual Contracts in April 2026, which now lists over 200 trading pairs across global equities, ETFs, precious metals, and crude oil.
