At the virtual currency exchange Bybit, it is possible to earn new tokens through the launch pool, so we will introduce how to do so. But what exactly is a launch pool? And what characteristics does it have? Isn’t there any risk? I’m sure you have many questions, so I’ve summarized their meanings and characteristics.
What is a launch pool?
A launch pool is a mechanism that allows you to acquire new project currency by staking a specific currency for a certain period of time. In other words, it is a service where you can get new project tokens for free just by depositing some currency. Bybit has BIT. Just by staking this BIT, pre-listed virtual currency tokens will be granted free of charge. Launch Pool is a service that only individuals can participate in, not corporations. Corporate accounts cannot participate.
Benefits of Launch Pools
The advantage of launch pools is that you can unstake at any time. This decision is always up to the user. Furthermore, it is a very low-risk investment that only stakes, and no technical trading skills are required. Furthermore, you can expect the price of the tokens you receive to rise, so there is a good chance that you will make money.
Disadvantages of launch pools
If the return is less than expected, there will be a loss as well. It means that there is a risk that the premium will not be returned if the market price fluctuates suddenly for some reason. As an investment, there is always risk. And launch pools don’t run all year round. The holding period is also irregular. The biggest disadvantage of launch pools is the risk of price drops in staked BIT tokens. If the BIT token price drops while staking, you will also lose money.
Different from Launchpad
Many people mistake launch pools for launch pads because of the similar terminology, but the investment method is completely different, so they are different things. If you are interested, please check the following articles as well. The launch pool is a mechanism that allows you to receive new virtual currency tokens for free, mainly by holding BIT. Launchpad is a mechanism that allows you to purchase virtual currency before it is listed.

Hold USDT or BTC
You must have USDT or BTC to participate in the launch pool. Please try to obtain USDT or BTC by remittance from other exchanges.

Now you can finally join the launch pool. Users will be able to earn profits by staking.
How to refund/cancel launch pool
The procedure for redeeming BIT tokens can be done by opening the Bybit home screen and selecting “Asset Management” → “Wallet Icon” → “Launch Pool” → “Refund”. You can cancel by entering the amount to be refunded. This will allow you to cancel the transaction, so you can use the refunded funds to perform other trades.
Launch pool yield
The average yield is around 5% to 10%. However, as explained above, it will be strongly influenced by BIT tokens. If BIT crashes, there is a possibility that you will incur a loss, so please take that into consideration.
