Bybit is a derivatives-focused cryptocurrency exchange, founded in 2018, offering spot, perpetual futures and earn products. Our June 2026 research found no confirmed full EU MiCA CASP authorisation for Bybit as of the search date, so we mark its EU licence status pending rather than verified. Bybit's own program terms restrict promotion and product access in numerous territories. We have not completed a hands-on test and publish no fees, supported-coin counts, withdrawal limits or rating until confirmed against a primary source. Crypto is high-risk; nothing here is financial advice.
Regulatory standing
Bybit is best known for derivatives, which are among the most heavily restricted crypto products for retail consumers worldwide. Our research did not find a confirmed full EU MiCA CASP authorisation for Bybit at the search date, so we mark its EU status pending — an honest 'unverified', not a claim it is unlicensed everywhere. Its availability and product permissions vary widely by jurisdiction, and its terms restrict service in a number of territories.
Confirm which Bybit entity, if any, serves your country, check it against your national regulator's register, and read its terms — particularly around derivatives — before depositing. In the EU, verify any MiCA CASP claim on the ESMA register.
Derivatives risk and restrictions
Leverage magnifies both gains and losses, and retail derivatives are restricted or banned in many jurisdictions precisely because of that risk. Bybit's product set leans heavily on perpetual futures, so the regulatory and personal-risk picture is sharper than for a spot-only exchange. Its terms restrict promotion and access in several territories, and some products are unavailable to certain countries' residents.
Treat leveraged products with particular caution: you can lose more than you might expect, quickly. Confirm what is legally available to you and never trade derivatives you do not fully understand.
Fees, coins and limits
Bybit publishes its own maker-taker fees, supported-asset list and withdrawal limits, which differ by product and region. We do not reproduce a figure we have not confirmed against Bybit's current pages. Check the live schedule on Bybit's own site, for the entity that serves your country, before you trade.
