Breaking Barriers: Regulatory Achievements Meet Innovation
Bybit’s seventh year included significant progress on regulatory alignment, with Bybit EU officially obtaining the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR) license in Austria. This approval strengthens Bybit’s commitment to compliance and long-term service to European users, providing a model for crypto assets regulation across the region.
In the UAE, Bybit became the first crypto exchange to secure a full Virtual Asset Platform Operator License from the UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), following an in-principle approval early in 2025. The recognition underscores Bybit’s reputation for high standards in compliance, governance, and security, further positioning the UAE as a global leader in digital asset regulation.
Byreal, a Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) backed by Bybit was launched in October, accelerating the development of decentralized liquidity infrastructure. The platform has achieved remarkable traction in a short space of time, currently ranking No. 5 by 30-day fees and revenue on DefiLlama’s Solana DEX rankings with over $869 million in cumulative trading volume. The platform has expanded partnerships to over 40 projects across real-world assets (RWA), AI, infrastructure, and DeFi, and supports 13 xStocks tokenized equities through its advanced execution layer.
In the past year, Bybit has enhanced Mantle’s integration across its platform and deepened strategic alliance, fueling the rapid development and integration of advanced DeFi infrastructure. This partnership signals a new wave of blockchain innovation and positions Bybit at the forefront of growing access to sophisticated onchain tools for users and institutions alike.
2025 also marked crypto’s first GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™: Bybit’s flagship trading competition, the World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2025, made history by earning a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the most participants in an online trading competition within 24 hours, an industry-first and a manifestation of the power of the community.
Since its inception, Bybit has been committed to raising standards for performance, transparency, and user empowerment in the crypto and blockchain sector. The trust and loyalty of Bybit’s global user base have inspired ongoing innovation and resilience through bulls and bears. The 7th anniversary stands out as a testament to the collaborative spirit and energy within the Bybit community.
