Bybit Unveils Bold Vision for the Future of Crypto at "Keynote with Ben"

Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has taken a significant step forward in redefining the future of digital finance . At its highly anticipated event, "Keynote with Ben: Reshaping What's Next, Bit by Bit," CEO and Co-founder Ben Zhou presented a comprehensive vision anchored in innovation, compliance, security, and institutional-grade solutions.

Strategic Milestone: Bybit Secures FIU-India Registration

In a pivotal development for the Indian market, Bybit announced its official registration with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-India) during the first half of 2025. This registration allows Bybit to fully resume its operations in India, signalling a new chapter in its global expansion. This achievement underscores the company's commitment to regulatory alignment, complementing its earlier compliance with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).

Strengthened Security After Sophisticated Vendor Attack

Bybit reaffirmed its position as a security-first platform following a sophisticated multi-stage attack on one of its third-party vendors in February. Importantly, the platform’s core infrastructure remained unaffected. Responding proactively, Bybit undertook nine comprehensive security audits—both internal and third-party—and implemented over 50 advanced security safeguards within weeks. This rapid response has further strengthened trust in Bybit’s reliability and resilience.

Performance Surge: Record-Breaking Speed and Volume

Performance enhancements were another key highlight. Bybit’s newly upgraded matching engine now processes an impressive 3.5 million transactions per second and manages close to 200 billion orders daily. This marks a 75% increase in trading volume compared to the first half of 2024. The expansion of the platform’s Rapid Price Improvement (RPI) mechanism to perpetual contracts has resulted in a 150% increase in liquidity and up to five times better execution, especially for retail and VIP traders.

New Wealth Management Offering Gains Momentum

Bybit also launched a sophisticated wealth management service that has quickly gained traction, reaching over $150 million in Assets Under Management (AUM). Designed for high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients, this new offering features personalised portfolios and services tailored to professional investors.

Strategic Alliance with Mantle for Institutional On-Chain Finance

The event concluded with a major announcement: Bybit is deepening its strategic partnership with Mantle to shape the future of institutional-grade on-chain finance. With Mantle 2.0 on the horizon, the collaboration aims to support a scalable, compliant, and robust decentralised finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Ben Zhou on the Evolving Crypto Landscape

“Crypto is no longer just about speculation, it’s about real-world application. At Bybit, we’re not just trading the future; we’re rewriting and reshaping what success looks like, bit by bit,” said Ben Zhou, CEO and Co-founder of Bybit. He emphasised the importance of trust, transparency, and compliance as the foundational pillars of long-term success in crypto.

Zhou also introduced two exciting new tools aimed at broadening crypto’s appeal and usability:

• Bybit Card: A crypto-native business tool integrating Visa and Mastercard, designed for seamless real-world utility.
  
• Bybit Lite: A user-friendly application that offers simplified features and passive income opportunities, tailored for casual crypto users.
  

Both tools reflect Bybit’s drive to make crypto more accessible, secure, and powerful for users across experience levels.
