Bybit has launched its fully localized platform for the Kazakhstan market, following its full authorization from the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA).
Now fully compliant with local regulations, the crypto exchange is ready to offer Kazakhstan users a seamless trading experience at bybit.kz, which is specifically designed to meet local market needs.
Spot, derivatives, margin, and crypto loans
Bybit Kazakhstan offers an extensive range of cryptocurrency trading services:
- it supports spot trading, allowing users to buy and sell a variety of cryptocurrencies with real-time liquidity.
- for more advanced traders, Bybit Kazakhstan provides derivatives trading, where users can trade sophisticated financial products like futures, enabling diverse trading strategies.
- Margin trading is also available, giving traders the opportunity to amplify their positions with leverage, maximizing potential profits in both rising and falling markets.
- For those seeking liquidity without selling their assets, Bybit also offers crypto loans, allowing users to borrow against their crypto holdings.
Bybit Kazakhstan is also collaborating with local banks to introduce a fiat gateway for Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT) to enable users to effortlessly deposit and withdraw funds directly in KZT via hassle-free transactions for faster access to funds.
The local entity provides dedicated support in Kazakh, Russian, and English, ensuring users can access assistance in their preferred language.
Bybit Kazakhstan will cater to broader Central Asia
It was in late September that Bybit announced it had been granted a full license by the Astana Financial Service Authority (AFSA) to operate as a fully authorized market institution in Kazakhstan.
The Kazakhstan AFSA-regulated operation will be able to offer a comprehensive range of services, including operating a digital asset trading facility, providing custody, dealing in investments as both an agent and principal, and managing investments.
The new licensing opens many opportunities for users in Kazakhstan and the broader Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region and solidifies the crypto exchange’s presence in Central Asia.
Bybit launched Islamic Account
Bybit launched an Islamic Account in a major step towards providing crypto trading that is both accessible and compliant with Islamic law. With this, Bybit became the first global cryptocurrency exchange to offer such a service to Muslim traders as the Islamic economy continues to grow rapidly, now serving nearly 1.9 billion people worldwide.
With the Islamic finance sector currently estimated to be worth a staggering $2.3 trillion, a Shariah-compliant trading platform will serve as a way for Bybit to tap into such a vast and growing market, mostly located in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia (MEASA) region.
Bybit ensures double Shariah certification by tapping both Crypto Halal Certification and the official Shariah certification from ZICO Holdings in order to guarantee that all products meet the highest standards of Islamic law.
Developed in consultation with ZICO Shariah Advisory Services Sdn. Bhd. (ZICO Shariah) and CryptoHalal to ensure compliance with the Shariah principles, Bybit’s Islamic Account provides Muslim traders with an inclusive platform to engage in the digital asset market and ensures that all products strictly adhere to Islamic finance principles.
Besides offering a comprehensive suite of Shariah-compliant trading products, the crypto exchange’s Islamic Account is available to all users, regardless of region, except in countries with legal restrictions. Initial offerings include spot trading (limited to 75 Shariah-compliant tokens), DCA trading bot, and Spot Grid Bot.
Bybit Türkiye secured CASP license and launched TRY pairs
In the meantime, Bybit Türkiye was officially recognized as a Crypto Asset Service Provider by the Capital Markets Board (CMB) of Turkey. Operating through Narkasa Yazılım Ticaret Anonim Şirketi, a local entity, Bybit Türkiye adheres to CMB regulations, ensuring compliance while supporting the country’s evolving crypto sector.
It was in June that Bybit partnered with Narkasa to focus on strategic efforts to establish itself as a prominent player in the market. Bybit Türkiye has implemented several key features to enhance the experience for Turkish users:
– Early September 2024: Launched Turkish Lira (TL) trading pairs, enabling users to trade cryptocurrencies directly using TL.
– One-Click Buy Feature: Simplified the process of purchasing cryptocurrencies, making it easier for new users to get started.
– Ziraat Bank and Vakıfbank Integration: Facilitated seamless TL deposits and withdrawals through trusted local banks.
Bybit’s Turkish operation recently launched TRY (Turkish Lira) trading pairs on its Spot market, allowing Turkish users to buy and sell Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT) directly with TRY.
Eliminating the need for conversion steps, the direct conversion of TRY pairs started on August 30th, 2024, and will feature the following pairs: USDT/TRY, BTC/TRY, and ETH/TRY.
