Bybit’s Expansion in Other Regions

Regulatory authorities in Kazakhstan and Turkey have approved the operation of Bybit. In Kazakhstan, the Astana Financial Services Authority approved Bybit, enabling the company to function as a regulated market institution at full capacity. 

In Turkey, Bybit has also been granted permission by the Capital Markets Board to provide services such as trading pairs with Turkish lira and forming partnerships with local banks to enhance user satisfaction. The permit enables the company to provide spot trading, investment management, and custody of digital assets to clients. These options will boost Bybit’s position in the Central Asian market, which is consistently expanding.

The Capital Markets Board has officially recognized Bybit in Turkey. With this approval, Bybit can now operate lawfully in Turkey’s growing crypto sector. The company also introduced Turkish Lira (TRY) trading pairs, making it easier for local users to trade cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether. This makes trading more accessible for Turkish users.
