“There’s a significant market demand for USDC-settled options coupled with access to a thriving spot and derivatives market,” said Sebastian. “I’ve observed this need in conversations with institutions and individual traders.

Gawenda is also an experienced algorithmic equity-options trader with a background in traditional finance. His technical expertise and knowledge of conventional and crypto-native industries make him the ideal candidate to bridge the two worlds.

“We are delighted to welcome Sebastian to the Bybit family. His expertise and track record in institutional sales and options trading make him a valuable addition to our team. With Sebastian leading our Options division, we are confident in our ability to provide enhanced trading services to institutional clients in the future.”
