Today’s press conference marks the official introduction of Bybit Me in the Austrian and European media. With his EU headquarters now operating in Vienna and a complete Micar license, which was granted by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA), BYBIT EU enters the European market with a clear mission: fast, safe and intuitive cryptodic services that are based on regulatory clarity, transparency and local commitment.
“Six years ago we started with zero users and a bold vision. Today we have over 72 million users worldwide, and our mission continues. With Bybit EU we combine innovation with regulation and create a safe and user-oriented crypto ecosystem here in the heart of Europe,” explains Ben Zhou, co -founder and CEO from Bybit.
Bybit EU is now completely ready for operation and is subject to the ordinance on markets for crypto-assets (micar). This means that bybit is one of the first global crypto bonds that has received full approval for providing their services in all 29 countries of the European Economic Area. The license was granted at the beginning of this year by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA), which is widely recognized for its balanced and professional approach in the regulation of digital financial services. With this license, Bybit EU becomes a regulated, legally compliant company that has the necessary conditions in order to be cross -border with legal certainty and uniform compliance.
Vienna as a strategic basis for European growth
The foundation of Bybit EU is more than just a milestone in relation to licensing- it stands for a structural commitment to the long-term structure within the financial and regulatory ecosystem of Europe.
“Vienna was deliberately selected as a location for the company’s European headquarters for the company’s European headquarters. Austria, which has been a location for the company’s European headquarters and its further developing sandbox model for digital assets, was deliberately selected by Vienna due to its central geographical location, the strong legal and financial infrastructure, and access to highly qualified, multilingual workers. explained CEO CEO & Be And thus underlines the strategic decision to establish the company in Austria.
Bybit EU also invests directly in the local economy. The company is currently expanding with the aim of hiring over 100 specialists in Vienna. At the same time, the company actively builds partnerships with Austrian universities and academic institutions in order to promote research, education and innovation in the field of blockchain and financial technology. These initiatives reflect the commitment of Bybit not only to be a global platform with European users, but a truly European company with local roots and local relevance.
In harmony with his community-first philosophy, Bybit also introduces an open office concept at its Viennese headquarters-a room in which developers, entrepreneurs and partners from the entire crypto ecosystem are welcome to network and work together. The office should not only be a job, but also a living center for dialogue, exchange of knowledge and cross -sector innovation in a regulated environment.
A regulated ecosystem
The platform from Bybit EU is designed in such a way that it offers more than just trade. It aims to create a real crypto ecosystem that meets the changing needs of users in the European Union. The company’s infrastructure corresponds to the highest standards of user protection, including the certification according to ISO/IEC 27001, multi-party computing (MPC) wallet technology and a strict internal compliance frame that is tailored to the Micar and Austrian regulatory requirements.
Ultimately, Bybit Micar sees a catalyst for responsible growth. The company sees regulation as a competitive advantage in an industry that is increasingly shaped by transparency and trust. The presence of Bybit EU in Vienna is a sign of the long-term commitment of the company, to contribute to a sophisticated, well-regulated crypto ecosystem that is completely in line with European values, protective measures and ambitions.
“Micar is more than a regulatory framework-it is a turning point for our industry. It creates clarity, responsibility and, above all, we do not consider compliance as a burden, but as an engine for long-term value. Our presence in Vienna reflects our commitment to building a transparent, resistant and truly European crypto-ecosystem, which is based on legal certainty and with the values and expectations of the European Union are in harmony, “explains Georg Harer, Managing Director und Head of Legal & Compliance bei Bybit EU.
