Crypto derivatives exchange Bybit has partnered with stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Financial to expand its suite of spot trading pairs denominated in USD Coin (USDC) — a move the company says will increase retail and institutional access to USDC-settled products.

Under the partnership agreement, Bybit will expand its USDC spot pairs to include several additional cryptocurrencies and make auto conversions between the United States dollar and USDC available, the company disclosed Wednesday. Bybit said it intends to collaborate with Circle on other initiatives to boost stablecoin and crypto adoption.

Currently, Bybit supports around 35 USDC spot pairs, according to a Circle representative.

Bybit began offering USDC options and perpetual contracts in April of this year, giving traders more ways to hedge against movements in the spot market. At the time, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou told Cointelegraph that the options rollout was in response to growing user demand. On Wednesday, Zhou said the launch of USDC options had been a success and that Bybit was looking to “further develop our working relationship with Circle.”

In addition to USDC options, Bybit plans to make Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL) options available to traders soon.
