Catenaa, Saturday, December 27, 2025-Crypto exchange Bybit has relaunched its platform in the United Kingdom, offering spot trading and peer-to-peer services under a framework aligned with FCA financial promotion rules.
The platform provides access to 100 trading pairs, supported by Bybit’s global liquidity and infrastructure.
The UK rollout responds to growing digital asset adoption, with FCA-commissioned research estimating that roughly 8% of UK adults, or 5.5 million people, now own crypto.
Centralized exchanges remain the dominant entry point, with about 73% of respondents acquiring assets through such platforms.
Bybit aims to provide flexibility, reliability, and transparency for users engaging with digital assets.
Bybit’s UK operations follow stringent anti-money laundering and know-your-customer standards. Compliance with local financial promotion requirements is facilitated by FCA-authorized firm Archax, which approves marketing for overseas crypto firms.
The exchange plans to introduce additional UK-focused products while maintaining regulatory compliance.
The relaunch follows a two-year hiatus after Bybit suspended UK services in September 2023 due to new FCA marketing rules.
Those rules introduced stricter requirements for solicitation and a cooling-off period for first-time investors. Other major exchanges, including OKX and Binance, also adjusted strategies to comply with the guidelines.
Bybit emphasizes that it is not authorized or registered by the FCA, and crypto services are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service. The exchange describes the relaunch as the start of a new chapter shaped by the needs of UK users.
