LONDON, Dec. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange with more than 80 million users worldwide, today announced its official launch in the United Kingdom.

This rising engagement underscores user expectations for reliable, high-quality platforms. Bybit's initial products are designed to support reliable access and offer users flexibility in how they engage with digital assets.

"Our goal is to give UK users reliable access to global opportunities in digital assets," said Mykolas Majauskas, Senior Director of Policy at Bybit.

In the months ahead, we aim to embody this innovative spirit by introducing new products tailored to the needs of UK users, always within a framework that prioritises transparency, and compliance."

"Over the past year, we have built products shaped by the needs of UK users, and we are excited to mark not just a return, but the start of a new chapter where users gain access to a platform designed to support informed engagement with the digital-asset economy," said Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit.
