Bybit expands in the Nordics — Oslo VIP event marks next step in European rollout

Nordic expansion phase

European strategy

Bybit operates in the European Union under a MICAR license issued by the Austrian Financial Supervisory Authority (FMA), which entitles the company to provide services across the European Economic Area - a market of around 450 million users.

Regulatory Alignment

The company is also seeking a MiFID II license via its Vienna-based company Bybit X GmbH, which will enable it to introduce regulated derivatives products such as futures and options by the first quarter of 2026.

Integration into local markets

The upcoming Bybit EU platform will add local entry and exit solutions for key European markets, with the goal of matching the functionality of Bybit's global stock exchange while complying with regional regulations.

Prospects

With the VIP range extending through the Nordic capitals — and possible future visits to Helsinki — Bybit signals long-term faith in Europe's regulated crypto market and its growing base of professional traders.
