Bybit Restores Full Access for Indian Users and Commits to Regulatory Compliance and Crypto Inclusion

Bybit Restores Full Access for Indian Users

In a pivotal move for India's burgeoning cryptocurrency market, Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has reinstated complete access to its application for Indian users on both the App Store and Google Play. This development marks a significant milestone in Bybit's commitment to the Indian market and the broader crypto ecosystem.

As of September 9, 2025, Bybit is also gradually restoring access to its website, with full availability expected within the next three to four days. This restoration comes as part of Bybit's broader regulatory alignment efforts within India, reflecting its dedication to trust, transparency, and security for its growing user base in the country.

The exchange began its regulatory compliance journey early this year. In January 2025, Bybit registered with the Financial Intelligence Unit-India (FIU-IND) as a reporting entity, thereby ensuring full compliance with India's anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. With this foundation, Bybit has rolled out a suite of services catering to Indian customers, including Spot trading, Derivatives, Options, and Copy Trading, all underpinned by stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) processes and enhanced security measures.

Trading operations reactivated on February 25, 2025, allowing verified users to access all trading features. However, full operational functionality for both the website and app was achieved following extensive interactions with regulatory authorities.

Ben Zhou, Bybit's co-founder and CEO, emphasized the significance of India in the global digital assets market, stating, "India is one of the most promising digital asset markets worldwide. We are thrilled to resume normal operations and reaffirm our commitment to providing Indian users with secure, transparent, and world-class cryptocurrency experiences. This is not a return; it's a new chapter for Bybit in India."

Adding to this sentiment, Vikas Gupta, Bybit India's Country Manager, mentioned, "This is a key moment for Bybit India. We are excited to offer Indian users a seamless and compliant trading experience. Our vision extends beyond trading—we are committed to building the rapidly growing Indian crypto ecosystem through mass education, strategic partnerships, and community-led initiatives."

As part of its expansion strategy, Bybit has become the primary sponsor of the India Blockchain Tour 2025, which commenced in Hyderabad on June 28. The next event is set to take place in New Delhi from September 27-28, under the theme 'Metamorphosis – India Blockchain Tour.' To further enhance its presence in the Indian market, Bybit has also launched the World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2025, featuring a series of campaigns for new user bonuses, alongside exciting prizes including cars, iPhones, and much more.

Bybit has been a forerunner in redefining accessibility and openness within the decentralized landscape since its founding in 2018. With a user community exceeding 70 million worldwide, the platform is focused on bridging the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), enabling developers, creators, and enthusiasts to harness the full potential of Web3. The exchange's commitment to security, market diversity, and an intuitive user experience underscores its reputation in the crypto industry.
