In-Principle Approval (IPA) to set up as a Virtual Asset Platform Operator in UAE from the Securities & Commodities Authority (SCA) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), dated on Feb 18, 2025.

This milestone marks a significant step in Bybit’s ongoing mission to provide a secure, stable, and compliant platform for crypto traders in the region.
This IPA underscores Bybit’s commitment to upholding the highest regulatory and compliance standards as it works toward full operational approval from the SCA. This authorization moves Bybit closer to offering a broad range of digital asset services to both retail and institutional clients in the UAE.
