What is AVGO on Bybit TradFi?

The AVGOUSDT perpetual contract on Bybit TradFi is a TradFi Perpetual that tracks the price of Broadcom Inc. stock (NASDAQ: AVGO). Like other perpetual contracts on Bybit, it has no expiry date and uses a funding rate mechanism to keep the contract price anchored to the underlying asset's market price.

Holding this contract gives you economic exposure to AVGO's price movements. It does not give you ownership of Broadcom shares. That means no voting rights and no dividends. Broadcom pays a quarterly dividend to shareholders; the TradFi perpetual does not replicate that income. If dividend income is part of your goal, this instrument is not designed for it.

1. Log in to your Bybit account on the web or the Bybit app.

2. Navigate to TradFi. From the top menu, click TradFi, then select Futures and choose Stocks from the submenu.

3. Find AVGOUSDT. Use the search bar or scroll the instrument list to locate AVGOUSDT.

4. Set your leverage. Click the leverage selector and choose a multiplier that matches your risk tolerance. Lower leverage reduces your liquidation risk.

5. Place your order. Select either a market order (executes immediately at the current price) or a limit order (executes only when the price reaches a level you specify). Enter your position size, review the margin required and confirm the trade.

6. Monitor your position. Your open position appears in the positions panel below the chart. From there you can set a take-profit or stop-loss level, adjust your size or close the trade manually.

What are the risks?

Broadcom's share price is tightly linked to AI infrastructure spending cycles, and guidance from hyperscaler customers on custom ASIC and networking chip demand can trigger large moves in either direction. The VMware integration has added enterprise software revenue but also increased the company's leverage and complexity. Leverage on the TradFi perpetual amplifies all of these dynamics significantly.

Key risks to understand before trading:

Leverage and liquidation. Leverage multiplies both gains and losses. If the market moves against your position far enough, Bybit will liquidate it automatically to prevent your balance from going negative.

No dividend replication. As noted above, the TradFi perpetual does not pay dividends. Traders expecting passive income from Broadcom's quarterly dividend will not receive it through this instrument.

Funding rate. Holding a position incurs periodic funding-rate payments (or receipts). The rate floats with market conditions and continues to apply even when the underlying stock market is closed, including weekends. Over longer holding periods these payments can meaningfully affect returns.

Gap risk. A significant price gap at NASDAQ market open, for example after an after-hours earnings release or a hyperscaler AI capex announcement, can push through a stop-loss before it executes. This risk cannot be fully eliminated with stop orders alone.

Reduced liquidity outside market hours. When NASDAQ is closed, spreads on AVGOUSDT may widen and execution quality can decline. Factor this into position sizing and order type choices.

Broadcom-specific events. Broadcom reports earnings quarterly, typically in March, June, September, and December; AI chip revenue and forward guidance on custom ASIC programmes with Google, Meta, and other hyperscalers are the figures that drive the largest post-earnings moves. Any slowdown in hyperscaler AI infrastructure spending or loss of a major custom chip contract would be a significant negative catalyst. VMware integration progress and enterprise software renewal rates are secondary metrics that analysts track alongside semiconductor results. US export controls on advanced semiconductors represent a regulatory risk that can affect both sentiment and near-term revenue.

Setting a stop-loss order on every position is strongly recommended. It caps your downside automatically and removes the need to monitor the market around the clock.

The bottom line

AVGO TradFi perpetuals on Bybit give you leveraged price exposure to one of the semiconductor industry's most diversified franchises, directly from your Bybit account and settled in USDT, with no brokerage account needed. Broadcom's position at the heart of AI data centre networking and its custom silicon relationships with major hyperscalers make it a high-conviction instrument for traders with a view on AI infrastructure spending, but the stock's sensitivity to guidance changes means disciplined risk management is essential on every trade.
