BYBIT SHUTS DOWN OPERATIONS IN FRANCE FOLLOWING REGULATORY HEAT

by Christian Encila

Bybit, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange, said it would stop serving French
users on August 2. This was a surprise move that shows how strict regulators are
becoming.

The decision comes after the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), France’s
financial watchdog, put more and more pressure on the company. Bybit’s
operations will be greatly limited, which is a very important time for the
exchange and its French customers.




RESTRICTIONS PILE UP

French users will have to deal with a lot of strict restrictions. Bybit has
declared all accounts to be “close-only,” which means that users can’t open new
positions or buy things. Bybit wrote an in-depth blog post about how it was
ending a number of services, such as One-click buy, P2P deals, spot dealing, and
derivative trading. Making deposits will also be illegal, making only transfers
legal.

The regulatory noose will get even tighter on August 13, when Bybit will
automatically close any open accounts in spot trading, trading bots, or
derivative goods. In addition, all card services connected to the exchange will
be shutdown. French users should send help tickets if they have any problems or
questions about these big changes.

Total crypto market cap currently at $2.1 trillion. Chart: TradingView


HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND PROBLEMS WITH REGULATIONS

Notably, Bybit is not the only company that has to deal with legal problems.
Another crypto giant, Binance, saw its founder, Changpeng Zhao (also known as
CZ), give up control of Binance France in December 2023 because the AMF was
pressuring him to do so. These cases show that the French cryptocurrency market
is subject to strict rules.

Though it is facing challenges with authorities, Bybit is still a major
participant in the global crypto market. Based on August 1 trade count, Bybit
ranks second among platforms behind Binance.

TIME TO PACK UP

Bybit is bidding adios as EU Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) laws take effect.
MiCA wants all European VDA suppliers to follow the same guidelines. This method
encourages new ideas and makes crypto more accessible and safe for investors.
These regulations are difficult for trading platforms like Bybit.

The crypto exchange has struggled with French laws before. Lack of any Digital
Asset Service Provider permits was among the roadblocks that prevented the
exchange from being allowed to operate in the country, not to mention a ban the
government imposed against it in 2022.
