Answer from public records

Is Bybit regulated?

Bybit Technology Limited appears in a public record of Financial Services Authority (Seychelles) (SC).

This evidence applies only to the specified entity, jurisdiction and authorized scope.

Official sources: Financial Services Authority (Seychelles)

What this evidence does NOT mean

  • A regulatory record attached to a named legal entity is not a global licence for the brand.
  • Absence of a published record is not a finding that a venue is unregulated. Unknown remains unknown.
  • Proof of Reserves is not a full financial audit and is not proof of solvency.
  • Custody claims and evidence coverage are not a safety score or investment recommendation.
  • VenueVeritas publishes verified public records only. Missing fields stay missing.
