Bybit Leads Institutional Integration
Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, has become the first global platform to accept QCDT as collateral. QCDT, powered by DMZ Finance and managed by QNB Group, is backed by U.S. Treasuries and regulated in Dubai’s DIFC under DFSA oversight. Bybit’s integration underscores its role in bridging digital assets with regulated finance, a position that strengthens its credibility among institutional investors.

QCDT Unlocks Institutional Liquidity
The launch of QCDT as collateral creates up to $1 billion in borrowing capacity. Institutions can now channel traditionally idle funds into exchange-based yield opportunities while remaining compliant. For banks and funds, it offers a low-risk, Treasury-backed entry point into crypto markets. This development mirrors the global rise of Real World Assets (RWAs) tokenisation, which is becoming a critical trend in institutional adoption.
Strengthening Middle East Digital Finance
Bybit’s move aligns with Dubai’s ambition to be a hub for digital assets, blending regulatory clarity with innovation. The partnership brings together trusted financial players—QNB, Standard Chartered, and DMZ—signalling strong market confidence. Bybit’s institutional strategy highlights the potential of regulated tokenised assets to attract billions of idle capital into productive digital finance systems.
Future Growth and Tokenised Products
This collaboration is not only about collateral but also about what comes next. QCDT could serve as a base for stablecoins, structured yields, and broader tokenised instruments. As tokenisation of U.S. Treasuries gains momentum worldwide, Bybit’s adoption may inspire other exchanges and financial institutions to follow. The partnership lays groundwork for long-term institutional participation in the crypto economy.
