Vienna, Austria, July 15th, 2025, Chainwire
Bybit EU officially launched its European headquarters in Vienna last week with a landmark event at METAstadt, uniting over 250 guests from fintech, policy, academia, and blockchain sectors. The evening celebrated Austria’s emergence as a crypto innovation hub under MiCAR and marked the beginning of Bybit’s long-term commitment to Europe.
Mazurka Zeng, CEO of Bybit EU, took the stage to present her newly formed team in Vienna alongside Bybit’s Board of Directors, highlighting the strength of local leadership and the company’s vision for Europe: “We chose Vienna because it offers clarity, stability, and a thriving ecosystem. This event is about building real, lasting connections with Europe’s crypto community.”
The event featured keynote speeches by Ben Zhou, CEO and Co-founder of Bybit, who emphasized: “Bybit EU is about setting a new standard — not just in Austria, but across Europe. We’re here to build, together.”
Austria’s State Secretary for Finance, Barbara Eibinger-Miedl, welcomed the expansion, noting: “The decision by Bybit to establish itself in Austria once again demonstrates that our country offers excellent conditions for international FinTechs – from clear regulatory frameworks and modern digital infrastructure to an innovation-friendly environment. Austria positioned itself early on as a pioneer in implementing the MiCAR regulation and is now one of the most attractive FinTech locations in Europe. As the State Secretary for Finance, it is my goal to further strengthen this competitive advantage.”
Beyond the stage, guests enjoyed a vibrant program including a red carpet experience to capture hot moments of the evening, engagement activities designed to spark connection and creativity. Notable attendees included Georg Brameshuber (Validvent), Walter Mösenbacher (DAAA), Alfred Taudes (WU Wien), Ed Prinz (DLT), Bjorn Declerck (Tomorrowland), Christian Rau (Mastercard), Attila Dogudan (DO&CO), and Martin Hanzl (EY).
The Vienna launch was not just a celebration — it was a signal. Bybit EU is here to stay, grow, and co-create the future of crypto across the continent.
