Bybit has made its digital-asset trading platform available to users in the United Kingdom, marking its entry into one of the world’s most tightly regulated financial markets. The global cryptocurrency exchange said its UK operations are structured to align with the Financial Conduct Authority’s financial-promotion requirements. The UK launch gives users access to spot trading across more than 100 trading pairs, along with peer-to-peer services. These offerings are supported by Bybit’s global liquidity infrastructure and internal risk-management controls, the company said.
According to the Financial Conduct Authority, around 8 percent of UK adults now hold some form of digital asset. The increase in participation has brought greater scrutiny of platforms operating in the market, particularly around consumer protection and compliance standards. Bybit said its UK rollout reflects this environment, with products designed to offer structured access rather than speculative engagement. The platform’s operations follow established anti-money laundering and know-your-customer processes, and all services are offered in line with local financial-promotion rules.
“Our goal is to give UK users reliable access to global opportunities in digital assets,” said Mykolas Majauskas, senior director of policy at Bybit. “The UK has one of the most sophisticated financial ecosystems in the world, and its regulatory clarity provides a strong foundation for responsible innovation.” He added that the company plans to introduce additional products for UK users over time, while continuing to operate within a compliance-led framework. Ben Zhou, co-founder and chief executive officer of Bybit, said the UK launch represents a new phase for the exchange.
“Over the past year, we have built products shaped by the needs of UK users. This marks the start of a chapter focused on informed participation in the digital-asset economy,” he said. Bybit’s UK operations are positioned as part of the company’s broader strategy to operate in markets with defined regulatory structures, as digital-asset platforms face increasing expectations from both users and regulators globally.
