Astana, Kazakhstan – May 29, 2023: Pioneering the cryptocurrency world, Bybit, the third most visited cryptocurrency exchange globally, has made a significant leap. The Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) has granted preliminary approval, marking Bybit’s acceleration towards a formidable presence in emerging markets worldwide.

This initial endorsement from AFSA is not merely a regulatory formality. Instead, it sets the stage for Bybit’s potential to establish a Digital Asset Trading Facility and provide Custody Services within the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) premises. The road to final approval hinges on Bybit successfully meeting specified conditions and navigating through a rigorous application process.

With its sights set on the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Bybit recognizes Kazakhstan as a strategic launchpad. The region has shown an upward trajectory in cryptocurrency adoption, making it a desirable location for Bybit to extend its operations.

The CIS region’s active engagement in digital currency, mining, and blockchain innovation has piqued Bybit’s interest. As a result, the exchange is keen to serve customers in Kazakhstan and its neighboring CIS countries.

Bybit’s CEO and co-founder, Ben Zhou, expressed enthusiasm about the company’s recent accomplishments. “AFSA’s initial approval marks a momentous occasion for us,” Zhou noted. “We are optimistic about the CIS region’s potential and eager to offer our advanced trading platform to its burgeoning crypto community. Our commitment to upholding the highest industry standards is unwavering.”

Bybit’s aspirations mesh well with AIFC’s reputation as a fintech forerunner and a pioneer in cryptocurrency regulations among the CIS countries.

Established in 2018, Bybit quickly rose to prominence in the cryptocurrency exchange arena, acclaimed for its efficient trading platform, exceptional customer service, and globally diverse community. Bybit also enjoys strategic alliances with Formula One’s Oracle Red Bull Racing team and leading esports teams like NAVI, Astralis, Alliance, MIBR, and Oracle Red Bull Racing Esports.
