Bybit Secures EMI Licence to Expand Services in Europe
Bybit.eu has announced that its subsidiary, Bybit Payments GmbH, secured an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) licence from Austria's Financial Market Authority. This licence will facilitate regulated e-money and payment services on the Bybit.eu platform, complementing existing crypto-asset offerings.
The licence acquisition represents a strategic move to strengthen Bybit's presence in Europe by merging e-money services with crypto-asset capabilities. Bybit EU GmbH retains authorisation under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation for crypto services since May 2025. This dual regulatory approach aims to offer a comprehensive financial experience on the Bybit.eu platform.
The EMI licence supports future payment services, such as person-to-person transactions and merchant payment solutions, while enabling collaboration with financial entities and gradually reducing reliance on third-party infrastructure.
