Black Friday 2026 falls on 27 November and Cyber Monday on 30 November. Plenty of "crypto Black Friday deal" lists are already circulating. Most of them repeat last year's offers or guess at this year's.
This page does something narrower. We work with seven crypto platforms: Kraken, OKX, Bybit, Backpack, Hyperliquid, Ondo Perps and Phantom. For each one we checked the platform's own website, announcement pages and official X account for a Black Friday or Cyber Monday 2026 offer. Below is what we found, with the source for every confirmed offer.
Status by platform
- Bybit: announced. Bybit Card and Bybit Pay rewards all November, with a Shopping Boost from 27 to 30 November. Not open to EEA residents. Source: Bybit's campaign page and its announcement of 3 November 2026.
- Kraken: not announced. Checked kraken.com promotions and legal pages, and @krakenfx and @krakenpro on X.
- OKX: not announced. Checked OKX announcements and @okx on X.
- Backpack: not announced. Checked the Backpack blog and @Backpack on X.
- Hyperliquid: not announced. Checked @HyperliquidX on X.
- Ondo Perps: not announced. Checked @OndoPerps on X.
- Phantom: not announced. Checked phantom.com and @phantom on X.
"Not announced" means exactly that: nothing on the platform's own channels when we checked. Holiday campaigns can be announced close to the date, so treat this list as a snapshot with a date on it, not a forecast.
Bybit: the one confirmed campaign
Bybit's campaign is called "This November, Make Every Day Black Friday". According to Bybit's campaign page:
- What it rewards: spending with the Bybit Card or Bybit Pay during November. Bybit describes daily rewards through a lucky draw where "every Lucky Draw entry scores a reward".
- Black Friday Shopping Boost: 27 November 2026 to 30 November 2026, under Bybit's terms and conditions.
- Who can take part: registered Bybit users who have completed Identity Verification Lv. 1 or Business Verification and hold a Bybit Card.
- Who can't: institutional users, market makers, and users residing in the EEA.
Bybit doesn't publish reward amounts on the page itself, so we don't list any here.
Two things worth knowing before you act on it:
- It is a card-spending promotion, not a trading discount. You earn by paying for things with a crypto card. In many countries, spending crypto counts as a taxable disposal, so a small reward can come with paperwork.
- Our Bybit partner link doesn't lead to this campaign. The Bybit link on this site is for Bybit EU, the platform that serves the EEA, and the campaign excludes EEA residents. If you live outside the EEA and want the campaign, go to Bybit's page directly. We don't earn anything from that.
Kraken: nothing for 2026 yet
Kraken had not announced a Black Friday 2026 offer when we checked. For reference, its 2025 promotion is still published in Kraken's official terms: it ran from 28 November 2025 to 2 December 2025 and was tied to Kraken+, Kraken's subscription. New annual Kraken+ subscribers received $25 in USDG, and existing members got a 25% rebate on eligible trading fees. It excluded the United Kingdom and required opting in through the Kraken app.
That offer has ended. It shows the shape a Kraken holiday promotion took last year: a subscription, an opt-in and a capped reward. It says nothing about what Kraken will do in 2026.
OKX, Backpack, Hyperliquid, Ondo Perps and Phantom
None of these had announced a Black Friday or Cyber Monday 2026 offer on their own channels when we checked. OKX and Backpack run regular trading campaigns, each with its own rules and dates, but none of the ones listed when we checked were tied to Black Friday.
What these platforms do have all year is a referral discount on trading fees through partner codes. Ours are in the box at the end of this page. They don't expire on Cyber Monday, so there is no reason to rush.
Does a Black Friday offer matter for a DCA plan?
Usually less than it looks. A dollar cost averaging plan buys the same amount on a schedule, often for years. Over that time, what decides your result is the price you pay on every single purchase: the trading fee, the spread and any deposit costs. A one-off reward is paid once; a lower fee applies to every buy.
Our real cost of DCA breakdown shows how much fees take out of a small recurring buy, and the how to dollar cost average guide covers how to set up the schedule itself. If a holiday offer requires you to trade more, spend more or lock up funds you would otherwise invest on schedule, it is working against the plan.
How to spot a fake crypto Black Friday deal
Holiday sales are peak season for phishing. A few rules cover most of it:
- Start from the platform's own site or app. Type the address yourself rather than following a link from an email, a direct message or an ad.
- No real promotion asks you to send crypto first. "Send 0.1 ETH, get 0.2 ETH back" is always a scam.
- No real promotion asks for your recovery phrase. Phantom, for example, states plainly that it will never DM, email, or ask you to send funds.
- Check the terms page. A genuine campaign has dates, eligibility rules and excluded countries written down, like the Bybit and Kraken terms linked above.
