Bybit Bolsters BitDAO with $134 Million Investment and Arbitrum Integration

Big Bucks for BitDAO

Bybit made a splash this Thursday by announcing a hefty $134 million donation to the BitDAO Treasury. This contribution was orchestrated through a jazzy blend of Ether (ETH), Tether (USDT), and USD Coin (USDC). It’s like throwing a crypto party and inviting the best tokens in town!

BitDAO’s Growing Treasure Chest

Speaking of parties, BitDAO isn’t just any host. With one of the largest decentralized treasuries in the DeFi space, they’re impressively rich! Recently, BitDAO laid down some serious cash, funding a $200 million zkDAO aimed at enhancing the zkSync ecosystem and scaling Ethereum. Bybit’s check adds a layer of confidence to BitDAO’s commitment to propelling DeFi projects.

Backing from Big Names

It’s not just Bybit on the guest list; influential figures like Peter Thiel, Founders Fund, and Pantera have also caught the BitDAO bug. These backers are like a who’s who of the crypto world, and their endorsement of BitDAO is sure to turn heads.

Transaction Efficiency with Arbitrum

On top of the cash splash, Bybit announced the integration of the Ethereum Layer-2 solution, Arbitrum. With this integration, users can deposit and withdraw ETH, USDT, and USDC on the Arbitrum platform. Think of it as shifting from a crowded freeway to an open scenic route – fewer gas fees, faster transactions, and lower latency thanks to Arbitrum’s optimistic rollups.

Future-Ready and NFT-Enabled

Ben Zhou, the co-founder and CEO of Bybit, expressed exuberance about the company’s new capabilities. “Thanks to Arbitrum’s decentralized and broad ecosystem support, we can roll out next-level products and services.” Bybit isn’t just stopping at trading; they’ve recently launched their own NFT marketplace, allowing users to trade NFTs directly through their Bybit accounts. No linking of personal wallets required – convenience meets innovation!
