Bybit Expands European Reach with EMI Licence
Bybit.eu has expanded its European offering after Bybit Payments GmbH was granted an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) licence by Austria's Financial Market Authority (FMA).
The licence will support regulated e-money and payment services on the Bybit.eu platform, alongside the crypto-asset services provided separately by Bybit EU GmbH, an Austrian crypto-asset service provider authorised under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) since May 2025.
Managing director at Bybit EU GmbH and Bybit Payments GmbH Georg Harer said: 'Europe is setting the global benchmark for how digital assets and financial services can evolve together under clear regulation.'
The EMI licence will enable Bybit Payments GmbH to build regulated payment capabilities, including person-to-person payments, e-money services, Strong Customer Authentication, open-banking functionality, merchant payment solutions, and future card initiatives.
