This site explains how the Bybit exchange works for people who are researching it before opening an account. It is written and maintained independently. It is not operated by Bybit, not affiliated with Bybit, and does not act on Bybit's behalf.
What you will find here
Step-by-step walkthroughs of the things that actually confuse people: what verification asks for, why a deposit can arrive on the wrong network, how withdrawal limits behave, and what the fee schedule really means once you are past the headline number. Every guide states when it was last checked.
What you will not find here
No profit promises, no "risk-free" trading, no invented bonus figures, and no personal investment advice. Numbers about fees, limits, bonuses or licences appear on this site only when they are tied to a dated official source. When we cannot verify a number, we describe the mechanism in words instead of publishing a figure we cannot stand behind.
Availability is not universal
Bybit does not offer services in every country. Its own published list of service-restricted jurisdictions currently names the United States, the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Uzbekistan, Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine, Sevastopol, Sudan and Syria. Residents of the European Economic Area are served by a separate regulated entity rather than the global platform. Before you read anything else here, check whether the service is available where you live.
