Bybit Launches Phase 3 of RLUSD Hold & Earn Program with Zero-Fee Trading and XRP Rewards
Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has launched Phase 3 of its RLUSD Hold & Earn program. The initiative allows users to earn rewards in both RLUSD and XRP simply by holding the stablecoin in their accounts from September 19 through October 18, 2026. Participants can receive up to a base APR of 3.5% on RLUSD with an additional bonus based on continuous holdings that scale up to 2x for those who hold for at least 90 days. The program also introduces zero trading fees for both makers and takers on the RLUSD/USDT spot pair, upgrading from previous phases where only maker fees were waived. The XRP rewards are sourced from a pool of 800,000 tokens provided by Ripple. This initiative aims to incentivize user engagement while promoting the use of RLUSD, which is fully collateralized and pegged at $1. Bybit emphasizes that no staking or lock-up periods are required for participation in this program.
