Mazurka Zeng, Managing Director and CEO of Bybit EU GmbH, commented: “Bybit.eu is our long-term commitment to Europe. Europe deserves a world-class crypto gateway that balances technology with robust regulatory standards. That’s exactly what Bybit EU delivers.”
Bybit.eu is designed to comply with MiCAR’s stringent requirements, focusing on investor protection, operational transparency, and robust capital reserves. The platform provides a brokerage service with deep liquidity sourced from multiple providers and advanced trading tools, leveraging Bybit’s global scale.
The user experience is localised, with customer service available in major European languages. Multilingual support is currently offered in English, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish, with plans to add German, French, Italian, and Romanian. High-volume traders have access to VIP account management tailored to regional needs.
Bybit EU GmbH has announced plans to expand its physical presence with new regional offices in France, Germany, Spain, and Italy, complementing its existing hubs in Vienna and Amsterdam.
The onboarding process for European users is conducted exclusively through Bybit.eu, ensuring full alignment with MiCAR and the highest standards of regulatory adherence. Bybit EU GmbH operates with transparent processes, regular regulatory reporting, and strict compliance with EU anti-money laundering laws and GDPR data privacy regulations.
Bybit EU GmbH is authorised to provide custody and administration of crypto-assets, exchange crypto-assets for funds or other crypto-assets, place crypto-assets, and provide transfer services on behalf of clients. The company does not operate a trading platform for crypto-assets and does not offer investment advice.
Mazurka Zeng added: “Our goal is to become a catalyst for crypto adoption in Europe.”
The launch of Bybit.eu marks a significant development in the European digital asset landscape, with a focus on regulatory compliance and regional service expansion.
