According to the exchange, trading in the PTBUSDT perpetual contract will end on October 30, 2026 at 9:00 AM UTC.
The announcement comes alongside other recent Bybit notices ending perpetual contracts, including MITOUSDT and EPICUSDT, suggesting the exchange is trimming its derivatives list.
When a perpetual contract is withdrawn, traders can no longer open leveraged positions in it on that venue. Open interest tends to shrink and speculative demand may move elsewhere, which can pressure the token's price in the short term, though the size of the effect depends on how much PTB trading took place on Bybit.
