ByBit EU Reviews
Bybit EU is the MiCA-regulated European arm of the global crypto exchange Bybit. The group has held a MiCA licence from Austria's Financial Market Authority (FMA) since 2025 and runs Bybit EU out of Vienna, which puts European users on a clear regulatory footing. The EU platform offers hundreds of crypto assets at competitive fees.
ByBit EU Rating
Our Opinion
Bybit EU pairs the strengths of the wider Bybit exchange – low fees, fast execution and a well-built interface – with a genuine EU licence (MiCA, granted by Austria's FMA). For European investors who want a regulated venue without giving up depth of markets, it is one of the more compelling options in 2026. Anyone expecting the very high leverage available on Bybit's global platform should note that those products are not available to EEA retail clients.
Pros & Cons
- MiCA licence from Austria's FMA – a clear regulatory basis for EU/EEA investors
- Spot fees from 0.10% maker / 0.25% taker
- Hundreds of tradable crypto assets
- Assets held largely in cold storage, 2FA, proof-of-reserves audits
- Fast execution and a well-rated app (iOS/Android)
- Registered in Vienna, inside the EU
- No futures or other derivatives for EEA retail clients, spot trading only
- Security incident in February 2025 (around 401,000 ETH drained)
- The sheer number of features can overwhelm outright beginners
