UPDATE: Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, has just unveiled a groundbreaking roadmap for the future of crypto during a high-stakes keynote in Dubai, UAE, on August 7, 2025. CEO and Co-founder Ben Zhou delivered a compelling vision aimed at reshaping the industry, emphasizing real-world applications and institutional-grade innovation.
The announcement comes as Bybit celebrates over 74 million users, where 1 in 8 crypto enthusiasts globally have chosen the platform. Zhou declared, “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.”
Compliance as a Foundation: Bybit has reaffirmed its commitment to a compliance-first approach, crucial as the crypto landscape matures. The exchange is now fully compliant with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) and has secured FIU-India registration earlier this year. “Sustainability in crypto begins with trust and transparency,” Zhou remarked, framing compliance as a catalyst for long-term growth.
Security Overhaul: Following a sophisticated attack on a vendor in February, Bybit has set a new benchmark for security. The company completed nine extensive security audits and implemented over 50 enhanced safeguards, all while maintaining the integrity of its own infrastructure. This swift action has earned Bybit industry-wide praise for its resilience and user-first approach.
Trading Excellence: Bybit continues to excel in performance, with an upgraded matching engine capable of handling 3.5 million transactions per second. The exchange processed nearly $200 billion in daily orders, marking a remarkable 75% year-over-year increase in the first half of 2025. This improvement, along with the expansion of its Rapid Price Improvement mechanism, has solidified Bybit’s position as the go-to platform for professional traders.
New Wealth Management Platform: As institutional and high-net-worth adoption grows, Bybit has launched a wealth management platform that has already attracted over $150 million in Assets Under Management (AUM). The platform offers tailored portfolios and strategic services for sophisticated investors, all supported by Bybit’s robust trading infrastructure.
Introducing Bybit Card: A new edition of the Bybit Card was revealed, which integrates seamlessly into both corporate and consumer spending. With support for Visa and Mastercard, this crypto-native card is set to expand into the EU in August, with further rollouts planned for Peru and Colombia in Q4. Bybit’s payments infrastructure has also seen a staggering 719% quarter-over-quarter increase in usage, enabling users to transact as easily as cash.
Bybit Lite Launch: Zhou introduced the upgraded Bybit App, which simplifies trading and passive income generation. The new Bybit Lite version is tailored for casual users, providing personalized strategies to maximize idle capital.
Strategic Partnership with Mantle: Bybit has deepened its partnership with Mantle, setting the stage for a new chapter in institutional-grade on-chain finance. The launch of Mantle 2.0, supported by Bybit’s leadership, aims to enhance decentralized finance by integrating infrastructure and governance, addressing the growing demand for trust-driven solutions.
With this keynote, Bybit is not just signaling platform growth; it’s redefining how the industry defines success. Zhou’s message is clear: “The next era of crypto will be shaped by platforms that offer trust, usability, and true innovation.”
