Bybit Secures Provisional Crypto License from Dubai’s VARA

Once labelled as unregulated, Bybit: the second largest cryptocurrency exchange by derivatives trading, has just been pre-approved for licensing by Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA). This non-operational license implies that Bybit will be able to perform activities in Dubai and provide services to both retail and institutional clients – the next step towards the company’s globalization.

On its part, Bybit’s Chief Operating Officer, Helen Liu noted that factors such as the strategic location of Dubai, free-spirited regulation, and commitment towards the establishment of a hub for innovation make Dubai a fertile ground for the success of Bybit. “Today, there are immense possibilities in the sphere of cryptocurrency for business and investors and it would be sufficient to name only Dubai in this regard,” she continued.

Bybit relocated its headquarters to Dubai at the start of 2022 and earlier this year expanded its partnership with the DMCC from an ecosystem partner to an adviser. The exchange is sill in a process of chasing operating license to the full.

Taking into account, the trading volume of Bybit has ten times more than $15. , ending the day in the second place behind Binance, its derivatives totaled $8 billion on September 16, thus further cementing its position in the global cryptosphere.
