Bybit offers the possibility to use either USDT as collateral or other cryptocurrencies (i.e. BTC).
This means customers can decide if they hold USDT in their Bybit wallet, or if they want to hold various crypto assets on top of their Blackquant trades.
Using USDT as collateral (Standard Bybit trading account), Blackquant customers will accumulate more and more USDT.
Using crypto assets as collateral, Blackquant customers will accumulate more and more USDT on top of their existing crypto assets (i.e. BTC)

Bybit allows two different methods to fund your wallet :
Buy cryptocurrencies directly from Bybit website
Deposit cryptocurrencies from external wallets
You can deposit the cryptocurrency that you prefer but then you must convert it in USDT.
Blackquant system will only read your USDT Balance to open trading positions. Other currencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL) and others will not be read by the system. The balance of those assets will be ignored and won't be used to open positions.
