Role Overview

The Regional Sales Lead owns the affiliate growth strategy and execution for the Mandarin-speaking market, reporting into our global BD team. You'll be on the ground — sourcing and building relationships with crypto communities, KOLs, HNW individuals, and professional traders to drive user acquisition and deepen Bybit's presence in one of the world's most active retail crypto markets

Responsibilities

  • Affiliate Network Building: Proactively identify, recruit, and develop affiliates with communities of HNW clients, professional traders, and active crypto participants.
  • KOL & Influencer Partnerships: Source and manage relationships with crypto KOLs, influencers, and media channels — negotiate campaigns, co-branded content, and referral programs that drive registrations and trading volume on Bybit
  • HNW Client Management: Build and maintain direct relationships with high-net-worth individuals and trading groups; serve as their primary Bybit contact, ensuring they have access to relevant products (OTC desk, VIP programs, institutional-grade features)
  • User Acquisition Strategy: Devise creative, locally-relevant approaches to acquire users — going beyond standard playbooks to find what works in unique crypto landscape
  • Market Intelligence: Stay on top of crypto regulation, competitor activity (local and global exchanges), and community sentiment — feed insights back to regional and global leadership
  • Performance Optimization: Own and report on affiliate acquisition of OKRs — registration, deposit conversion, trading volume, retention — and iterate based on data to improve ROI
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with Bybit's product, compliance, marketing, and VIP teams to localize offerings and ensure the Mandarin-speaking user experience is best-in-class

Requirements

  • 3+ years of solid experience in cryptocurrency, FX, fintech, or financial services — with a demonstrable track record of building affiliate networks or BD pipelines from scratch
  • Business development or affiliate management experience — you understand the mechanics of referral economics, commission structures, and partner lifecycle management
  • Strong project management skills — comfortable juggling multiple partner relationships, campaigns, and deadlines simultaneously
  • Data-driven mindset — you understand acquisition OKRs (CPA, LTV, deposit conversion, volume per referred user) and use segmentation and analytics to optimize performance
  • Fluent in Mandarin — this is non-negotiable; you'll operate between global HQ and local partners daily
  • Self-starter mentality — you don't wait for instructions; you find the opportunity and bring the plan

Nice to Have

  • Previous experience at a crypto exchange — you know how exchange BD works
  • Experience working across time zones and cross-cultural teams in a global organization
  • Genuine passion for blockchain technology, DeFi, and the evolving crypto payments space
  • Existing relationships with Mandarin-speaking financial media, fintech associations, or institutional broker networks

Tokenized Fund Collateral Could Be A Game Changer For Franklin Templeton Stock

Tokenized Fund Collateral Could Be A Game Changer For Franklin Templeton Stock

Franklin Templeton has expanded its digital asset strategy through a new partnership with the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, allowing the use of tokenized fund collateral. This collaboration integrates Franklin Templeton’s Benji tokenized money market fund directly into an active trading venue, marking a shift from simple wallet listings to operational on-chain collateral management. While the firm currently manages approximately $3.2 billion in digital asset AUM, this initiative serves as a test for the scalability of digital rails in lowering distribution costs. The move is viewed as a strategic experiment to determine if tokenized assets can effectively serve as margin collateral within high-frequency trading environments. Despite the innovation, analysts suggest the immediate impact on Franklin Templeton’s earnings remains limited compared to broader pressures on fees and net flows. Success hinges on the firm's ability to maintain rigorous risk control and custody standards via ByCustody while scaling its tokenized product suite. Ultimately, the initiative highlights the ongoing institutional effort to bridge traditional financial products with decentralized trading infrastructure.

Next Shiba Inu Search Heats Up as Franklin Templeton Puts $686M On-Chain and Pepeto Goes Live

Franklin Templeton has expanded its institutional crypto integration by enabling $686 million in tokenized money market fund shares to be used as trading collateral on the Bybit exchange. This initiative, launched on September 28, allows investors to pledge tokenized fund shares via ByCustody while continuing to earn yield on their underlying assets. By integrating these shares into major exchanges like Bybit, Binance, and OKX, the $1.83 trillion asset manager is bridging traditional finance with digital asset liquidity. This development signifies a shift where institutional capital seeks to maintain core holdings while gaining exposure to crypto markets without liquidating positions. While the article contrasts this institutional progress with speculative retail tokens, the core event highlights the growing utility of tokenized U.S. Treasury-backed funds in decentralized finance. The ability to use regulated, yield-bearing assets as collateral on centralized exchanges marks a maturing phase for the RWA sector. This trend underscores how traditional financial giants are increasingly treating blockchain rails as standard infrastructure for capital efficiency.

Crypto-friendly institution Franklin Templeton brings its tokenized collateral service to Bybit

Franklin Templeton has expanded its off-exchange collateral program to the Bybit exchange, enabling users to utilize shares of its tokenized money market fund as collateral for crypto trading. This integration allows investors to borrow stablecoins like USDT and USDC while continuing to earn yield on their underlying assets, which currently represent approximately $686 million in net assets. The mechanism relies on ByCustody to hold the assets off-exchange, while the value is mirrored within the Bybit trading environment to unlock liquidity without requiring asset movement. This development marks another milestone in Franklin Templeton's strategy to integrate its Benji-issued tokenized funds across major crypto exchanges, following similar partnerships with Binance and OKX. By allowing investors to optimize collateral usage while maintaining yield exposure, the firm aims to bridge traditional asset management with the crypto ecosystem. This trend reflects a broader industry shift toward using regulated, tokenized money market funds as high-quality collateral for derivatives and spot trading. The initiative highlights the growing utility of blockchain-integrated record-keeping platforms in professionalizing crypto market infrastructure.
