DNA Bybit listing: what, when and where

This is a futures listing, not a spot one. The Bybit announcement is titled "Listing of DNAUSDT on Bybit Perpetual on Oct 16, 2026, 11:45AM UTC". The page is stamped 11:16 UTC and our tracker recorded it at 11:17 UTC (14:17 MSK), about 28 minutes before the start.

The announcement lists these contract specifications:

• The contract is a USDT perpetual with a maximum leverage of 20x and trading hours of 24/7.

Higher leverage shrinks the distance to liquidation, and the liquidation price calculator shows where that line sits for your entry.

What the token is

According to CoinGecko, NeoSoul builds market infrastructure for the agent economy: it aims to let AI agents learn, compete, coordinate and create measurable value. CoinGecko files the token under BNB Chain Ecosystem and lists one contract, on BNB Smart Chain. The project site is neosoul.ai. We did not verify the team, audits or token distribution, so we do not describe them.

Supply at listing

CoinGecko has a NeoSoul page but showed no circulating, total or max supply and no market cap on 16 October 2026. We have no verified supply figures to report and will not estimate them.

First hour

DNAUSDT opened at 0.2095 USDT and ended its first hour on Bybit at 0.2518 USDT, between 11:45 and 12:45 UTC (14:45 to 15:45 MSK). Data: Bybit linear perpetual 5m candles, fetched on 16 October 2026 at 12:53 UTC.

The low came in the first five minutes. The high came in the fifth candle, at 12:05 UTC, when price ran from 0.2379 to 0.278. Every later candle stayed below that high, and the last three closed lower one after another, from 0.2631 to 0.2518. About 18.01 million DNA traded in the hour, 1.06 million of it in the first candle. This is one exchange's tape for a contract with no earlier history, so the percentage change from the first price says little by itself.

What to watch

A new contract has little price history to anchor structure. Check the spread and the first funding settlement before you trade it, and size from your stop with the position size calculator. This page makes no call on direction.

First 24 hours

DNAUSDT opened at 0.2095 USDT and, 24 hourly candles later, last traded at 0.2762 USDT on Bybit, over the window 11:45 UTC on 16 October to 11:00 UTC on 17 October (14:45 MSK to 14:00 MSK). Data: Bybit linear perpetual 1h candles, fetched on 18 October 2026 at 06:30 UTC. Bybit's hourly candles are aligned to the full hour, so the first candle (11:00 UTC) holds only trades from 11:45 UTC; the opening price is that candle's open.

High and low are the extremes of the hourly candles in the window. Percentages measured from the first print of a new contract say little by themselves, and this is one exchange's tape only.
