Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has unveiled a roadmap for the future of the cryptocurrency sector, setting the tone for a new era of innovation, security, and excellence in trading, according to a press release provided to Incrypted.
Vision for Growth and Transformation
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou shared his vision for the sector's development, emphasizing real implementation, institutional-level innovation, and deep ecosystem coordination in the podcast “On Air with Ben: Changing the Future Step by Step.”
During the broadcast, Zhou reaffirmed the exchange's core mission of "creating and transforming." He highlighted the platform’s major achievements over more than six years, including growing its user base to 74 million people. According to him, one in eight crypto enthusiasts worldwide has chosen Bybit.
"Crypto is no longer just about speculation — it's about real world application. At Bybit, we're not just trading the future; we're rewriting and reshaping what success looks like, bit by bit," Zhou said.
Compliance as the Foundation of the Future
At the start of the broadcast, Zhou reiterated Bybit’s commitment to compliance, which he said is a key pillar of the industry's development.
Bybit is fully compliant with the EU Markets in Cryptocurrency Regulation (MiCAR) and plans to register with FIU-India in the first half of 2025.
The company emphasized that compliance is not a barrier but a driver of growth. Zhou stated, “Sustainability in crypto begins with trust and transparency, positioning compliance not as a constraint but as a catalyst for long-term growth.”
Rethinking the Industry Safety Standard
Following a complex, multi-stage cyberattack in February 2025, Bybit set a new industry standard for security. Although Bybit’s own infrastructure remained intact, the company responded swiftly. Over several weeks, the exchange conducted nine thorough security audits, both internal and external, and implemented over 50 enhanced security measures.
The response has garnered industry and global recognition for its transparency, sustainability, and user-centric approach. Today, Bybit’s security upgrade is considered a new benchmark for platform reliability, Zhou emphasized: "Bybit's security overhaul is regarded as a new benchmark in platform integrity."
Excellence in Trade Supported by Infrastructure Modernization
Bybit continues to lead in efficiency and reliability. Its upgraded matching engine now processes 3.5 million transactions per second and nearly 200 billion orders daily, marking a 75% year-on-year increase.
Through extending the Rapid Price Improvement (RPI) mechanism to perpetual contracts, Bybit has delivered 150% higher liquidity and up to five times better execution for retail and VIP accounts, solidifying its status as the optimal platform for professional trading.
New Heights in Crypto Asset Management
As it gains popularity among institutional and high-net-worth investors, Bybit is redefining wealth preservation in the digital age. Its newly launched Wealth Management platform has surpassed $150 million in assets under management.
The platform offers carefully curated portfolios and strategic services designed for experienced investors—all backed by Bybit’s deep trading expertise and robust security infrastructure.
Rethinking Real Utility: Bybit Card and Payments
Another major development is the new version of the Bybit Card, now positioned as a crypto-native business card easily integrated into corporate and consumer spending. Supported by Visa and Mastercard networks, the card features smart security and real-time spending tracking, bridging digital assets and everyday transactions.
The Bybit Card is expected to launch in the EU market in August, with plans to enter Peru and Colombia in Q4.
Bybit has also made significant strides in payment infrastructure, with built-in support for nationwide QR code payments in Southeast Asia and Latin America. This has resulted in a 719% quarter-over-quarter surge in usage. With over 2 million users and multi-industry partnerships with local services such as Rappi and Vivaticket, Bybit is edging closer to making cryptocurrency as accessible as cash.
Bybit Lite for Earn, Manage, and Trade
Zhou unveiled an updated Bybit app, a unified platform that simplifies active trading and passive income generation. Bybit Lite offers a streamlined experience for casual users, complemented by an updated Earn section that provides personalized strategies and easier ways to activate idle capital.
Key Partner of Mantle 2.0
A major announcement was the deepening of Bybit’s strategic partnership with Mantle. This collaboration heralds “a bold new chapter in institutional-grade on-chain finance,” according to Zhou.
The launch of Mantle 2.0 comes with leadership updates and tighter ecosystem integration, including Helen Liu, co-CEO and partner at Bybit, and Emily Bao, head of spot and Web3 teams at Bybit, serving as key advisors.
Together, Bybit and Mantle aim to accelerate decentralized finance development by aligning infrastructure, liquidity, and governance. Their collaboration seeks to set new standards for scalability and compliance, addressing the rising demand for trust-based DeFi solutions.
Change of Standard
With this address, Bybit demonstrated more than just platform growth—it marked a shift in how success is defined in the industry. Zhou’s message was clear:
"The next era of crypto will be shaped by platforms that offer trust, usability, and true innovation. We believe crypto should be usable, secure, and powerful enough to serve everyone — from first-time users to institutional investors. Together with our community, we are rewriting the rules and reshaping the space for good."
