US EditionCrypto exchange Bybit returns to UK after 2-year break with 100 crypto trading pairs
Bybit resumed UK services via Archax's FCA-approved framework, offering 100 crypto pairs and P2P trading amid growing adoption by 8% of UK adults, regulators said.
- On Dec. 19, 2025, Bybit, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange with more than 80 million users worldwide, announced its official launch in the United Kingdom with Spot trading and Peer-to-peer services.
- After stricter marketing rules in October 2023, several crypto firms left the U.K., and Bybit exited then, returning under a framework meeting Financial Conduct Authority standards via Archax.
- Bybit's UK operations follow anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer standards but are not authorised by the FCA, so protections like the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and Financial Ombudsman Service may not apply.
- Archax said it supports Bybit's compliant UK access and has helped Coinbase and OKX enter the market without authorisation; the government plans a crypto rulebook by 2027.
- With FCA data showing 8% of UK adults own digital assets, Ben Zhou said `Over the past year, we have built products shaped by the needs of UK users` and plans new rollouts in months ahead.
