Latest Bybit News

To improve users' trading experience and reduce unnecessary Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) events during high volatility, Bybit is rolling out an updated insurance fund mechanism. This update introduces 2 specialized Insurance Fund Pools:

 For newly-listed USDT Perpetual Contracts

 For groups of contracts with correlated volatility or shared liquidity sources

These dedicated pools provide more targeted protection for different contract types and strengthen overall risk management. Compared to the previous system of standalone funds, this new structure boosts the average loss-absorption capacity per contract by over 200%, significantly lowering the risk of unnecessary ADL triggers.

, and will gradually apply to eligible trading pairs over approximately 2 months.

If an Insurance Fund Pool balance drops significantly and a single trading pair's 8-hour drawdown exceeds the set threshold, the system will automatically trigger the ADL protection mechanism.

, traders can monitor the next-day's (T+1) insurance fund balances and real-time drawdown ratios via the [API interface](https://bybit-exchange.github.io/docs/v5/market/adl-alert) and [here](https://bybit-exchange.github.io/docs/v5/websocket/public/adl-alert). During extreme market conditions — such as sudden liquidity shocks, abnormal price dislocations, or widespread volatility — Bybit reserves the right to adjust the ADL thresholds or manually add funds to the Insurance Fund Pool to provide additional protection.

All contracts in these pools undergo continuous monitoring based on key metrics, including open interest, risk exposure, liquidity depth, volatility patterns, trading volume and underlying project fundamentals.

 Typically placed in the New Listing Insurance Fund Pool for an initial observation period of about 30 days. This pool receives higher capital allocation to provide extra protection during the volatile post-listing phase.

 Monitored continuously within grouped portfolios to manage correlated risks.

- Contracts from the New Listing Insurance Fund Pool may migrate to the Main Insurance Fund Pool or an appropriate Portfolio Insurance Fund Pool after the observation period.

- Portfolio Insurance Fund Pool contracts may be reassigned to a different portfolio group or moved to the Main Insurance Fund Pool as needed.
