Dubai – September 08, 2026 -- Bybit has raised the guaranteed annualized return on its BTC staking Vault from 0.8% to as much as 1.2%, a 50% increase, through a new partnership with Function (FBTC).

The upgraded vault targets idle BTC holdings during a range-bound market

Bitcoin has been consolidating around $80,000 in early September 2026, after rebounding from roughly $62,600 in August and briefly topping $81,000 late that month. Bybit says the upgraded product gives BTC holders a way to earn yield instead of leaving their coins idle while the price holds above key moving averages.

The fixed-term product locks BTC for 45 days with no early exit

Unlike variable-rate offerings, the vault guarantees a minimum return. Eligible users subscribe for a fixed 45-day term, and early redemption is not permitted. A subscription cap of 200 BTC applies per the terms.
