🇦🇪 Dubai doesn't just talk about the future of finance. It builds it. And I'm proud that Bybit is part of that journey. From establishing our global HQ in Dubai in 2022 to securing our VARA licence for spot trading today, we've come a long way. This is a major milestone for Bybit, but definitely not the finish line. We're building beyond crypto, bringing more financial products, more opportunities, and a better experience to users around the world. Dubai is where we chose to build. And we're just getting started. 🚀 bybit.com/en/press/post/bybi…

Trading and withdrawals continue as normal at Bybit, and user funds remain safe. The trust of every crypto user matters to the future of this industry, whichever platform they choose. Protecting that trust is a commitment that goes beyond any one exchange.
We’re aware of reports circulating across social media regarding a security incident affecting multiple platforms. Bybit is not affected. Our systems are operating normally, trading and withdrawals remain available, and user assets remain secure. We are monitoring developments closely. Please rely on official Bybit channels for verified information and remain alert to misinformation and phishing attempts.

The next big leap in finance won’t come from launching another product. It will come from connecting everything we already have — trading, investing, payments and wealth management — into one seamless, AI-powered experience. From a crypto exchange to your personal financial ecosystem. That’s where we’re heading. 🟧

Stablecoins are no longer just about trading. They’re becoming part of how we spend, pay, and move money every day. Excited to join @BlockchainLife in Dubai on Dec 1 to discuss “Stablecoin Cards and the Battle for Everyday Spending.” Looking forward to sharing how @Bybit_Official sees the future of crypto payments and what it will take to bring crypto into everyday life. See you in Dubai!

Competition makes the industry stronger. Cooperation makes the industry safer. When it comes to security, there should be no boundaries between platforms — protecting users and the integrity of the ecosystem comes first.

Crypto vs. TradFi is an industry distinction. Users just call it money. They want to trade it, grow it, move it, spend it — without worrying about which financial world it belongs to. That’s the future we’re building toward: one platform for your financial life. Make Your Move.
The wait is over.. now, the move is yours. Make Your Move. 🧡 Bybit. The New Financial Platform

When does crypto stop being an “alternative asset” and start becoming a second currency? That’s what we’ll be discussing tomorrow at Forex Expo Dubai 2026. From trading and saving to cross-border payments and access to global markets, the role of crypto is quietly changing — especially here in MENA. Looking forward to sharing what we’re seeing on the ground. 📍 Dubai World Trade Centre 🗓 Sep 23 | 1:00 PM 🎤 Traders Hall See you there! 🇦🇪
