Bybit Adds Unitree Robotics and Moonshot AI to Pre-IPO Perpetuals

Bybit has expanded its pre-IPO perpetuals lineup with two new contracts, adding Unitree Robotics and Moonshot AI and giving traders synthetic exposure to two closely watched private-market names in AI and robotics.

What Bybit Added to Its Pre-IPO Perpetuals Lineup

The exchange listed perpetual contracts tracking Unitree Robotics and Moonshot AI, according to Bybit’s listing announcement. The additions extend a product line that lets traders take positions on companies before they go public.

Pre-IPO perpetuals are derivative contracts that price a private company’s expected valuation. They are not equity, and holders do not own shares in the underlying firm. For related coverage, see Why Crypto Hacks Continue After the Theft: What the Bybit Case Shows.

Why Unitree Robotics and Moonshot AI Stand Out

Unitree Robotics is the robotics-facing name in the update, a private company known within the humanoid and quadruped robotics space. Its inclusion gives traders a way to track sentiment on a robotics manufacturer without a public listing.

Moonshot AI is the artificial-intelligence name in the pairing, a private developer in the AI model sector. Coverage of the listing framed the two additions as Bybit broadening pre-IPO exposure into recognizable AI and robotics narratives.

The pairing reflects growing trader interest in high-growth private firms, a theme also visible in tokenized AI infrastructure projects such as NEAR AI’s move into private AI compute staking.

What the New Contracts Mean for Traders

The key distinction for traders is that a pre-IPO perpetual settles on a reference price, not on shares. Buying the contract is a bet on a company’s valuation trajectory, not a stake in the business itself.

These instruments are volatile and sensitive to leverage, and pricing can diverge sharply from any eventual public valuation. Thin reference data on private companies adds to that pricing risk.

The additions deepen a derivatives suite from an exchange that ranks second in open interest among major venues, and follow a run of product and promotional launches including its latest Daily Treasure Hunt season.
