Bybit Celebrates 7th Anniversary with $2.5 Million Gratitude to Global Traders

Bybit's Spectacular 7th Anniversary Celebration

On November 27, 2025, Bybit, the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange globally, proudly celebrated its seventh anniversary. With a vibrant community of nearly 80 million users, Bybit expressed its gratitude with a remarkable reward of $2.5 million, organized through various engaging activities designed to honor its dedicated trading community.

A Year of Growth and Innovation

Ben Zhou, the co-founder and CEO of Bybit, reflected on the company’s journey of innovation, growth, and a commitment to creating a user-friendly platform for digital assets. He stated, "Bybit was founded on the idea that every trader deserves a platform that listens and adapts to their needs. Over the years, it has evolved into an ecosystem driven by genuine passion for the industry, persistence, and transparency."

Zhou emphasized the importance of open dialogues with users, stating that these conversations have guided Bybit’s growth. To celebrate their seven years of progress, Bybit aims to give back something significant to the community that made this journey possible.

The #7Up Celebration

The anniversary celebration, dubbed #7Up, highlights the community’s joint efforts to grow and support each other. From November 26, 2025, to January 6, 2026, eligible users can participate in six themed prize pools throughout the holiday season, culminating in a final event in January 2026. The rewards will be distributed based on community engagement and user performances across three prize categories:

1. Endless Year-End Prizes: Six seasonal prize pools will be unlocked throughout the event. Eligible users can win by achieving Mantle avatar levels from these pools. Participants can earn prizes from 2025 through the new year by unlocking new levels during the festive period.

2. Main Prize Leaderboard: The points collected during the celebration will help traders secure top spots on the main leaderboard. The top 7,777 participants will share a large prize pool, with the top performer winning $77,777!

3. Raffles with Guaranteed Wins: Users can enter raffles by completing various tasks during the event. Each raffle promises a prize, ranging from a minimum of 0.7 USDT up to 77 MNT for each entry.

Breaking Barriers: Regulatory Milestones

In its seventh year, Bybit achieved significant regulatory milestones. The exchange officially obtained the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR) license in Austria, exemplifying Bybit's commitment to compliance and long-term service for European users. Furthermore, Bybit became the first cryptocurrency exchange to receive a full license as a virtual asset platform operator from the UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA).

This recognition not only underscores Bybit's high standards in compliance and governance but also furthers the UAE's position as a leading global hub for digital asset regulation.

Additionally, Bybit's decentralized exchange (DEX), Byreal, which operates on the Solana blockchain, launched in October and has since gained remarkable traction with a cumulative trading volume of over $869 million, ranking fifth on DefiLlama’s 30-day fee and revenue leaderboard for Solana DEX.

Celebrating Community Spirit and Innovation

The past year saw further enhancements to Bybit’s integration with Mantle, accelerating the development of advanced DeFi infrastructures. This partnership marks a new wave of blockchain innovation, positioning Bybit at the forefront of accessible on-chain tools for both users and institutions.

Moreover, 2025 marked a historic milestone for Bybit, as its flagship trading competition, the World Series of Trading (WSOT), set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the most participants in an online trading competition within 24 hours—a testament to the strength of its community.

Since its inception, Bybit has been dedicated to enhancing standards of performance, transparency, and user empowerment within the cryptocurrency and blockchain sector. The seventh anniversary serves as a reminder of the community’s spirit and vitality that drive Bybit forward.

As Bybit continues to close the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi), it offers a robust foundation for developers and enthusiasts to harness the full potential of Web3.
