    What is Bybit Discount Buy? 

    Discount Buy is a product that allows users to purchase a specific asset at a predetermined price on the settlement date, which is below the market rate at the time of order placement, should the Settlement Price fall within the Knockout Price and Purchase price.




    Who should consider Discount Buy?

    Discount Buy is designed for users who wish to ramp up their crypto holdings in bear markets where volatility is on the low side. 




    How to understand the key terms of Discount Buy? 

     

    Settlement Price

    The price of the target asset at the time of settlement 

    Knockout Price 

    The price is calculated by the built-in mechanism to determine whether the user will buy the desired coin or receive a payoff. 

    Purchase Price 

    The price at which users purchase the desired asset on the settlement date should the Settlement Price fall below the knockout Price.

    Additional APR

    In the Knockout Scenario, users will receive their principal together with an additional APR on top of it (in USDT) as a final payoff. 




    How does Discount Buy work?

    Discount Buy works in two scenarios: 

     

    Scenarios 

    Outcome at Settlement

    P&L 

    Settlement Price ≥ Knockout Price

    Receive Principal + Additional APR in USDT

    Profitable 

    Settlement Price < Knockout Price

    Purchase desired coins at the Purchase Price. 

    Profitable if Settlement Price > Purchase Price

    Unprofitable if Settlement Price < Purchase Price

     

    For example, 

     

    If Trader A wants to invest 10,000 USDT into BTC using Discount Buy, and the current market price of BTC is 30,500 USDT,

     

    Purchase Price = 29,900 USDT

    Knockout Price = 31,000 USDT 

     

    At settlement date,

    • If the price of BTC (Settlement Price) is 30,800 USDT < 31,000 USDT, Trader A will receive 0.334 BTC (worth 10,000 USDT) at the price of 29,900 USDT, and thus making a profit. 
    • If the Settlement Price is 29,000 USDT < 29,900 USDT, Trader A will receive 0.334 BTC (worth 10,000 USDT) at the price of 29,900 USDT, and thus incurring a loss. 
    • If the Settlement Price is 32,000 USDT > 31,000 USDT, Trader A will receive the initial investment and fee saver payment (8% APR) in USDT. The total payoff is calculated with the formula below: Payoff = 10,000 + 10,000 * 8% * 1/365 = 10,002.19 USDT 




    How is the Settlement Price determined?

    The Settlement Price is determined by calculating the average price of the underlying Perpetual Contract’s Index Price every second in the 30 minutes leading up to the Settlement Time.

You will receive the returns at 8:15 AM UTC on T+1. For more information, please refer to the information available on the order page.

     




    What is the difference between Dual Asset and a Discount Buy?

    The key difference is the Investment Outcome:

    • Dual Asset will only trigger buy orders if the Settlement Price is lower or equal to the Target Price. 
    • Discount Buy enables users to buy at the Purchase Price even when the Settlement Price is higher than the Purchase Price.
