About Bybit

 
Bybit is a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, founded in 2018 by Ben Zhou. Headquartered in Dubai, Bybit has rapidly grown to serve over 80 million users worldwide, making it the world's second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume.
Our mission is to empower individuals and institutions to realize the full potential of crypto and Web3 technologies.

We are committed to providing a secure, transparent, and user-friendly platform, underpinned by industry-leading security measures and 24/7 customer support.
In 2025, Bybit established its European headquarters in Vienna, Austria, reinforcing its commitment to the European market and regulatory compliance. As first international exchange, we managed to secure the MiCAR license in Austria in May 2025 and have started operations under the fully regulated EU website bybit.eu in July 2025. This strategic move positions Bybit at the heart of Europe, enabling closer collaboration with regulatory bodies and providing enhanced services to its European user base.
