Bybit Endorses Cosmos Upgrade on November 10, 2025
Bybit will support the Cosmos (ATOM) v25.2.0 network upgrade, set for November 10, 2025. This upgrade is part of Cosmos Hub's strategic roadmap, focusing on enhancing interoperability and cross-chain functionality, aligning with recent advancements in the network.
The upgrade, managed by the Interchain Foundation and Cosmos Labs, is backed by their $300 million treasury. Bybit announced support via its portal.
Upgrade Boosts Liquidity and Cross-Chain Features
With the upgrade, Cosmos aims to enhance cross-chain interactions, benefiting IBC-utilizing tokens. The financial impact includes potential liquidity increases without affecting BTC or ETH directly, but with enhanced cross-asset bridging, especially for Ethereum-based assets.
Treasury funding and organisational stability contribute to developer confidence and positive market sentiment surrounding the upgrade. Historical trends show previous upgrades improved network efficiency without new token issuance, focusing instead on interoperability and stake metrics like ATOM’s 16.34% APR.
Experts Highlight Cosmos's Strengthened Cross-Chain Role
Compared to earlier upgrades, such as v24.0.0, this event aims for more robust cross-chain operations. Prior similar upgrades highlighted the significant role of Cosmos as a key interoperability router in the crypto world.
According to experts, strengthened funding from the Interchain Foundation and developer involvement underscore the upgrade's potential. High community approval rates in governance polls reflect optimism regarding the enhanced cross-chain coordination established by Cosmos.
"We have a very, very clear roadmap from the core leadership from the Cosmos Labs organization which ... fully funded and ... backed by the Interchain Foundation which has around a $300 million treasury, around 45–50 people working there full-time ..."
