How Bybit Is Rebuilding Exchange Infrastructure for the Age of AI Agents

Bybit is shifting towards an AI-native architecture, making its systems accessible to AI agents for trading and asset management. Victor Wu, Head of AI Agent Architecture at Bybit, oversees this transformation. His role involves creating two integration paths: "AI Skills" for immediate AI assistant interaction and an MCP Server for developers. This shift necessitates addressing challenges like ambiguity, integrity, and credential security. Natural language interfaces introduce risks that are mitigated through semantic and execution layer safeguards. Institutional needs are met through auditability, isolation, and control features within the AI-driven infrastructure. AI infrastructure provides a competitive advantage as it is a multi-dimensional design problem. Liquidity is still foundational, it is a problem that requires more than just performance optimization.
