BREAKING NEWS: Bybit’s CEO Ben Zhou has just unveiled a groundbreaking roadmap for the cryptocurrency exchange during a pivotal keynote address in Dubai today, August 7, 2025. The announcement signals a transformative shift in the crypto landscape, focusing on innovation, security, and real-world applications that promise to redefine success in the industry.
In his keynote titled “Keynote with Ben: Reshaping What’s Next, Bit by Bit,” Zhou emphasized Bybit’s commitment to real-world adoption, stating, “Crypto is no longer just about speculation — it’s about real-world application.” The exchange now boasts over 74 million users, claiming that 1 in 8 crypto enthusiasts globally has chosen Bybit, underscoring its substantial market presence.
Compliance as a Foundation: Zhou also highlighted Bybit’s unwavering compliance-first approach, now fully aligned with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR). This commitment to compliance is framed not as a hurdle, but as a catalyst for growth, emphasizing that “sustainability in crypto begins with trust and transparency.”
Security Overhaul: Following a significant security breach earlier this year, Bybit has set a new standard for industry security. The exchange completed nine extensive security audits and implemented over 50 enhanced safeguards, drawing widespread acclaim for its transparency and resilience. Bybit’s infrastructure remains uncompromised, and the company has emerged stronger, establishing a new benchmark in platform integrity.
Trading Excellence: Bybit is also enhancing its trading capabilities, with an upgraded matching engine capable of handling 3.5 million transactions per second—a 75% increase in daily order processing. The firm’s Rapid Price Improvement mechanism has delivered 150% higher liquidity and up to 5x better execution, solidifying its position as a leader in professional trading.
In a bold move towards wealth management, Bybit launched a new platform that has already amassed over $150 million in Assets Under Management (AUM), catering to sophisticated investors with curated portfolios and strategic services.
Innovations in Payments: The newly introduced Bybit Card integrates seamlessly into business and personal spending, supporting both Visa and Mastercard networks. It is set to expand into the EU region this August, with plans for launches in Peru and Colombia by Q4. Additionally, Bybit’s payment infrastructure has facilitated a 719% increase in usage, making crypto as accessible as cash in regions like Southeast Asia and LATAM.
Zhou also announced the revamped Bybit App, now featuring Bybit Lite, designed for casual users to earn, manage, and trade with ease. This upgrade simplifies user experience and enhances capital activation strategies.
In a significant strategic alignment, Bybit is deepening its partnership with Mantle, which Zhou stated paves the way for a new chapter in institutional-grade on-chain finance. This collaboration will focus on developing decentralized finance solutions with a strong commitment to compliance and scalability.
Bybit’s keynote marks a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency sector, with Zhou asserting, “The next era of crypto will be shaped by platforms that offer trust, usability, and true innovation.” The message is clear: Bybit is not just participating in the crypto revolution; it is leading the charge to reshape the industry’s future.
