Job Brief

We are expanding our focus to cover AI-augmented threat intelligence and post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) security. The ideal candidate will combine deep blockchain forensics expertise with working knowledge of machine learning techniques for anomaly detection, and awareness of quantum computing threats to current cryptographic foundations (ECDSA, RSA) used across blockchain ecosystems. We value candidates who can bridge academia and industry and build collaborative relationships with research institutions to accelerate the adoption of emerging cryptographic and AI-driven techniques within the company.  

Main Responsibilities of a Blockchain Risk Control Analyst/Researcher

Your main responsibilities will include:
  • Leveraging LLM techniques to drive the development of next-generation on-chain risk identification and threat intelligence systems, including autonomous agent workflows capable of continuous monitoring, self-triggered investigation, and automated operational responses — reducing manual intervention across the full risk lifecycle from detection to resolution;
  • Leading forensic investigations on real crypto theft, fraud, and market manipulation cases, integrating AI-assisted pattern recognition to accelerate root cause analysis;
  • Researching post-quantum cryptographic algorithms (NIST PQC: ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, FALCON) and their implications for blockchain security; assessing quantum computing threats to existing cryptographic foundations (ECDSA secp256k1, hash functions) and evaluating migration paths;
  • Partnering with internal teams and external stakeholders for incident response, and engaging with academic institutions to translate frontier research into deployable security tools;
 

Key Requirements

  • You have a Master's or PhD's degree in Blockchain security, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.
  • You are good at programming languages commonly used in blockchain analytics (e.g., SQL, Python, Javascript)
  • Experience applying machine learning or AI techniques to blockchain data analysis, fraud detection, or threat intelligence
  • A strong publication record in top-level industry or academic conferences is highly valued.
  • You have experience with blockchain monitoring/forensic tools and analytics platforms.
  • Familiarity with NIST PQC standards (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, FALCON) and lattice/hash-based cryptography fundamentals is a plus;
  • Understanding of quantum computing threats to elliptic curve cryptography and implications for key management in Web3;
  • You have security or risk control experience as a plus.
  • You possess effective communication and collaboration abilities.
  • English is essential, and proficiency in Mandarin can be an advantage.

Why Join Us
At Bybit, we are committed to fostering a supportive and enriching work environment. 
Our benefits include:
- Study Growth Fund: We support your professional development and continuous learning.
- Internal Events: Participate in regular team-building activities, workshops, and events designed to promote collaboration and innovation.

Bybit Dual Asset Integrates Four New xStocks, Expanding Use Cases for Tokenized Equities on Bybit

Bybit has expanded its xStocks Dual Asset offering by adding four new tokenized equities: METAx, TSLAx, HOODx, and CRCLx. This update increases the total number of available tokenized stock pairs on the platform to ten, catering to growing user demand for structured yield products tied to traditional market assets. The new additions cover diverse sectors including artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, fintech, and stablecoins, allowing users to build more varied yield strategies. Since the initial integration of xStocks into the Dual Asset product, Bybit has observed significant interest, with NVIDIA and SpaceX assets leading in user demand and trading volume respectively. Bybit remains the first centralized exchange to utilize tokenized stocks as underlying assets for this specific type of structured yield product. This expansion highlights the ongoing trend of integrating traditional equity exposure into crypto-native investment mechanisms. As the RWA market matures, such offerings provide investors with on-chain access to Wall Street assets, bridging the gap between centralized exchange infrastructure and traditional financial instruments.

Bybit adds tokenized Nvidia, Apple, Tesla stocks as loan collateral

Dubai-based crypto exchange Bybit has expanded the utility of its tokenized stock offerings by allowing six specific equities to serve as collateral for margin trading and lending products. Users can now utilize tokenized shares of Nvidia, Apple, Tesla, Alphabet, Robinhood, and Circle within the platform's Unified Trading Account and loan services. These assets, branded as xStocks, were launched in June through a partnership with the tokenization platform Backed and are backed 1:1 by underlying securities held by a regulated custodian. This move reflects a broader industry trend toward integrating traditional financial assets into decentralized finance workflows to improve capital efficiency. Bybit joins other major exchanges like Kraken and Bitget in adopting tokenized equities as margin collateral, signaling increased institutional comfort with blockchain-based representations of traditional stocks. The expansion highlights the growing maturity of the RWA sector, where tokenized assets are transitioning from simple spot-trading instruments to functional components of complex financial infrastructure. As exchanges continue to integrate these assets, the liquidity and utility of tokenized securities are expected to rise, bridging the gap between legacy equity markets and crypto-native trading environments.

Tokenized USD Liquidity: Bybit Finloop Partnership Launches FUIDL

Bybit has partnered with Finloop Finance Technology Holding Limited to launch FUIDL, a tokenized USD liquidity product designed to bring institutional-grade money market standards to the blockchain. The underlying fund backing FUIDL holds triple-AAA ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch, distinguishing it from higher-risk tokenized assets. Bybit users can utilize FUIDL shares as collateral for trading, allowing for capital efficiency by earning yield while maintaining active market positions. The collaboration leverages Finloop’s infrastructure to enable T+0 settlement, directly challenging the T+1 or T+2 timelines standard in traditional finance. This launch reflects a broader industry shift toward integrating traditional financial rigor with the speed and transparency of blockchain technology. As the tokenized asset market grows, reaching an estimated $7.5 billion by July 2026, such products aim to bridge the gap between institutional allocators and digital asset ecosystems. The success of this T+0 settlement pilot could set a new benchmark for operational efficiency and interoperability across global financial markets.
