The European cryptocurrency landscape is witnessing a pivotal development with the official launch of Bybit.eu, a dedicated, MiCA-compliant trading platform tailored exclusively for users in the European Economic Area (EEA). This strategic move underscores Bybit’s long-term commitment to regulatory compliance and its ambition to become a leading digital asset gateway in one of the world’s most scrutinized financial markets.
As the European Union enforces stricter oversight through the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, platforms like Bybit.eu are setting new benchmarks for transparency, security, and user protection. The platform is operated by Bybit EU GmbH, a fully licensed Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) authorized by Austria’s Financial Market Authority (FMA), ensuring full adherence to MiCA standards.
This authorization enables Bybit to offer regulated crypto services across all 29 EEA countries—reaching over 450 million residents—with Vienna serving as its regional headquarters. The launch marks a major milestone in Bybit’s mission to deliver secure, transparent, and compliant digital asset trading in Europe.
A Regulated Gateway for European Crypto Users
Bybit.eu isn’t just a rebranded version of its global counterpart—it’s a purpose-built ecosystem designed from the ground up to meet European regulatory demands. The platform supports a full suite of services, including spot trading, derivatives, and a broker solution backed by deep liquidity from multiple institutional-grade providers.
"The launch of Bybit.eu reflects our long-term commitment to Europe. The region deserves a world-class crypto platform that balances cutting-edge technology with robust regulatory compliance. That’s exactly what Bybit EU delivers,"
— Mazurka Zeng, CEO and Managing Director of Bybit EU GmbH
The exchange emphasizes high-performance trading tools, advanced order types, and institutional-grade infrastructure to serve both retail and professional traders. For high-volume users, a dedicated VIP account management service is available, tailored to meet specific regional needs and compliance requirements.
Localized Experience with 24/7 Support
User experience lies at the heart of Bybit.eu’s strategy. The platform offers a localized interface in multiple European languages, currently supporting English, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish. Additional language support—including German, French, Italian, and Romanian—is planned for rollout in the near future.
Round-the-clock customer support ensures users can resolve issues promptly, regardless of time zone or language preference. This focus on accessibility strengthens trust and lowers the entry barrier for new crypto adopters across diverse European markets.
Beyond language, Bybit.eu integrates region-specific onboarding processes, KYC verification flows, and payment methods that align with local financial norms—further enhancing usability and compliance.
Why MiCA Compliance Matters
MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) is the EU’s comprehensive framework governing crypto service providers. It mandates strict rules around consumer protection, market integrity, transparency, and operational resilience. For users, this means:
- Clear disclosure of risks
- Safeguarding of client assets
- Regular audits and reporting
- Accountability for service providers
By operating under MiCA, Bybit.eu ensures that user funds are protected, trading practices are transparent, and disputes can be addressed through formal regulatory channels. This level of oversight was previously absent in many global exchanges serving European customers.

New Accounts Required for Continued Access
A key detail for existing Bybit users in the EEA: a new account must be created on Bybit.eu to continue accessing services post-transition. This is not an automatic migration—users need to register separately on the new domain and complete the region-specific verification process.
While this may seem like an extra step, it ensures full compliance with local laws and allows the platform to maintain clean separation between regulated and non-regulated jurisdictions.
Users are encouraged to:
- Visit bybit.eu directly
- Register using their email or phone number
- Complete identity verification (KYC)
- Transfer funds securely after account activation
Expanding Footprint Across Europe
Bybit’s ambitions go beyond launching a compliant platform. The company plans to open new regional offices in France, Germany, Spain, and Italy—expanding upon its current hubs in Vienna (Bybit EU GmbH) and Amsterdam (Satos B.V.).
These offices will support:
- Local regulatory engagement
- Talent acquisition
- Community outreach
- Partnerships with financial institutions
This physical presence signals a deeper integration into Europe’s financial ecosystem and reinforces Bybit’s position as a serious player in the regulated digital asset space.
