Digital assets are volatile. Custody failures, security incidents and a complete loss of funds are possible.

What the service is and is not

Bybit is a crypto exchange or broker; this review is not investment advice and does not establish account eligibility.

Who it suits

Who it suits

  • Suits people who want spot, contracts and options under one account with a tiered VIP fee table
  • Suits people who want several fiat on-ramps (card, SEPA, SWIFT, P2P) depending on their country

Who it suits less

  • Less suited to people after zero spot fees: at VIP 0 the fee is 0.1% for both maker and taker

Before you choose

Before opening an account, check the servicing legal entity, account type and costs for your plan.
