Bybit Restores Full Access for Indian Users, Reaffirms Crypto Inclusion

Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has restored full access to its mobile app on both the App Store and Google Play for Indian users, signalling a major step in its return to the country’s fast-growing crypto market. Website access is being rolled out in phases and is expected to be fully operational within the next 3–4 days. The relaunch comes on the back of Bybit’s registration with the Financial Intelligence Unit-India (FIU-IND) in January 2025, ensuring compliance with India’s Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The exchange had initially resumed services on February 25, 2025, for authorised users, bringing back its full suite of offerings, including Spot, Derivatives, Options, and Copy Trading. Enhanced Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols and stricter compliance measures have been implemented to strengthen security and user protection. Bybit emphasised that these measures reflect its long-term strategy to align with India’s evolving regulatory landscape while providing a transparent and trustworthy trading environment.

Highlighting the importance of the Indian market, Bybit’s co-founder and CEO, Ben Zhou, said, “India is a promising digital asset market; we’re excited to deliver secure experiences to users here.” His comments were echoed by Country Manager Vikas Gupta, who noted that Bybit is prioritising education, partnerships, and community engagement to support India’s growing base of crypto enthusiasts and investors.

With these initiatives, Bybit aims not only to rebuild its presence in India but also to contribute to shaping the country’s digital asset ecosystem in a responsible and sustainable manner.
