Bybit Named World's Top Fintech Company in Digital Assets Category

Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has been named to CNBC's World's Top Fintech Companies 2026 list in the Digital Assets category. The recognition comes after a rigorous evaluation process that considered overall business performance and key performance indicators specific to each category.

The annual list recognizes 500 leading fintech companies across eight industry segments, with approximately 3,500 companies evaluated using an aggregated scoring model. Bybit's inclusion reflects its continued evolution from a cryptocurrency exchange into a broader financial platform connecting digital assets, traditional finance, payments, tokenized investments, artificial intelligence-powered tools, and Web3 services.

The CNBC recognition follows Bybit's recent inclusion in the inaugural Fortune Crypto 100, in the CeFi category. The company serves more than 80 million users worldwide and has continued to expand its offerings across digital and traditional markets, including tokenized assets such as equities through xStocks, AI-powered trading and research tools, and infrastructure designed for institutional market participants.

Bybit holds a Virtual Asset Platform Operator license issued by the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority, while Bybit EU holds a license under the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, issued by Austria's Financial Market Authority. The company remains focused on building secure, compliant, and accessible financial services as regulatory clarity and institutional participation continue to develop.
