Bybit CEO Says Pure Crypto Exchange Era Is Ending

The campaign highlights Bybit’s push to combine trading, payments and wealth services for more than 80 million users worldwide, CEO Ben Zhou said.

  • On Thursday, Bybit announced its "Make Your Move" global campaign, officially repositioning the cryptocurrency exchange as a "New Financial Platform" serving more than 80 million users worldwide.
  • The era of the "pure crypto exchange" is ending as customers seek stocks, gold, and payments alongside digital assets, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou told Cointelegraph on Thursday. This demand prompted the strategic shift.
  • Bybit's platform now offers more than 442 spot assets and 235 traditional-market instruments across 181 countries, while its AI integration connects to more than 600 platform services covering 1,278 support scenarios.
  • This pivot reflects broader industry consolidation; BitMEX ended trading Wednesday after 11 years, while rival Coinbase pursues an "Everything Exchange" strategy adding stocks and prediction markets alongside crypto.
  • Bybit aims to build an "intelligent platform" connecting anyone to global finance by integrating trading, payments, and wealth-building through TradFi and RWA offerings. The company plans continued expansion across emerging financial services.
