The European cryptocurrency landscape is entering a new era of regulation, security, and user-focused innovation with the official launch of Bybit.eu—a dedicated platform tailored exclusively for users across the European Economic Area (EEA). Operated by Bybit EU GmbH, a fully licensed Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR), this strategic rollout marks a pivotal milestone in Bybit’s mission to deliver secure, transparent, and compliant digital asset trading services in Europe.
Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, Bybit EU GmbH has secured MiCAR authorization covering 29 EEA countries, unlocking access to regulated crypto services for over 450 million Europeans—all within a single, trusted platform. This regulatory approval underscores Bybit’s commitment to aligning cutting-edge blockchain technology with stringent European compliance standards.

A Platform Built for Europe
Bybit.eu is not simply a regional version of an existing exchange—it's a ground-up redesign focused on meeting the rigorous demands of European regulators and users alike. From investor protection to operational transparency and capital reserve requirements, every aspect of the platform adheres to MiCAR’s comprehensive framework.
The new platform delivers a powerful blend of global expertise and local relevance, offering:
- Advanced brokerage infrastructure with deep liquidity aggregation from multiple providers, leveraging Bybit’s global trading engine
- Localized user experience with interface and customer support available in major European languages
- 24/7 multilingual support, currently available in English, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish—with German, French, Italian, and Romanian support rolling out soon
- Dedicated VIP account management tailored to the needs of high-volume traders in the region
This user-centric approach extends beyond the digital interface. Bybit EU GmbH plans to strengthen its on-the-ground presence by establishing regional offices in France, Germany, Spain, and Italy, complementing its existing hubs in Vienna (Bybit EU GmbH) and Amsterdam (Satos B.V.).
Designed for Trust and Compliance
For European users, trust is non-negotiable. Bybit.eu ensures complete alignment with MiCAR and the highest legal compliance standards through:
- Transparent operations and regular regulatory reporting
- Full compliance with EU anti-money laundering (AML) directives
- Strict adherence to GDPR and data protection regulations
These measures are not just checkboxes—they represent a foundational philosophy. Bybit EU GmbH is committed to fostering a secure environment where innovation thrives within clear regulatory boundaries.

Core Services Under MiCAR Authorization
Bybit EU GmbH is authorized to provide the following crypto-asset services to residents of the EEA (excluding Malta):
- Custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients
- Exchange of crypto-assets for fiat currencies

Empowering Europe’s Crypto Future
Beyond compliance and infrastructure, Bybit is investing in the long-term growth of Europe’s digital economy. The company aims to become a trusted partner for blockchain developers, institutional players, and retail users, supporting innovation while maintaining accountability.
“Our goal is to be the catalyst for crypto adoption in Europe,” said Mazurka Zeng, CEO of Bybit EU GmbH. “Europe deserves a world-class crypto gateway that balances technological innovation with strict regulatory standards. That’s exactly what Bybit EU delivers.”
This vision reflects a broader shift in the industry: from unregulated experimentation to structured growth guided by consumer protection and market integrity.
