Bybit recorded the highest spot trading volume among centralized cryptocurrency exchanges on December 22, 2025, driven by a sharp increase in activity around the NIGHT token, according to market data cited in a company update shared with Finbold.
The exchange reported more than $9.2 billion in spot trading volume over a 24-hour period, placing it ahead of industry peers for the day. The spike was largely attributed to heightened trading in the NIGHT/USDT pair, which accounted for the majority of activity on the platform during that window.
NIGHT trading drives volume spike
Data from CoinMarketCap shows that Bybit handled over 77% of global NIGHT trading volume during the peak of the token’s trading activity, equivalent to approximately $7.6 billion out of $9.2 billion in total market liquidity within 24 hours.
CoinGecko data from the same period similarly indicates that NIGHT/USDT represented more than 80% of Bybit’s spot trading volume on the day, with overall spot volumes rising by nearly 98%.
