As someone who has been using bybit for years now, I still stand on the fact they have the best UI and the fact Bybit absorbed a massive $1.5 billion security breach without losing a single dollar of user deposits or halting core operations. Although they still have major complains about their p2p leading to low customer satisfaction ratings on the Trustpilot Bybit Customer Review Portal, Bybit stands out as one of the most reliable execution platforms in the industry.

The presence of the $MNT (Mantle) token is the only notable structural caveat. Although it operates as a separate Layer-2 ecosystem, Bybit's heavy backing and integration of the token introduces a slight layer of native tokenomics risk. However, unlike the catastrophic native token setups seen in previous cycles with other exchanges, Bybit's core revenue and reserve backing appear robust enough to isolate that risk. Well, Bybit is my No.1 trading platform and is really an elite, highly functional trading venue. So if you are an active trader who needs deep liquidity, an aggressive listing strategy, and a top-tier matching engine, this is exactly the kind of infrastructure you should be using.

As someone who used By bit a lot last year, I would say that it is unquestionably among the finest! With regard to the interface, quickness, and simple, comprehensible layout, heads are held high. Bybit accounts are secure for a normie to manage without becoming lost. My biggest complaint with them, though, is that in the P2P area, they almost ignore users' attitudes about merchants. They tend to value the merchant more, but aside from that, P2P is also a fantastic exchange. I need to feel safe transacting my money knowing that I'm backed up, but instead you might receive a short payment or be on appeal for days even though all the evidence is there proving you're right.

The hack of Bybit in February last year was one of the largest in the crypto space with over $1.4B lost. However, Bybit was able to cover the lost funds which shows they have sufficient reserves and a sustainable business model. We’ve seen the opposite before with the FTX collapse where many users lost funds that were never fully recovered. In the mobile app, the UI isn’t very smooth for me. When I try to open a trade, it takes more steps compared to other exchanges. However, they do offer competitive withdrawal fees compared to many others. I still use it in my day-to-day trading though.

I have personally used Bybit and so far it's not a reliable exchange The wallet hack incident raised concerns related to exchange security and user's fund safety Bybit also faced backlash from community due to slower deposits of crypto as exchange faced high deposit Traffic which it couldn't handle on other hand it is good exchange if talking about liquidity and user base community support is strong Bybit also is has place in Top Exchange list.

I have been a bybit user for a couple of years now,mostly for spot trading and P2P activities and all I can say is that this has become my main exchange so far because of the clean user friendly interface and how trades are executed fast,highly recommendable for newbies. But compared to binance which i also use,to me bybit feels more less cultured and more reliable during high volume periods,though no platform is 100% perfect the bybit P2P still has its own problems like shady vendors who make fake payment transaction and also their customer support services is really slow on resolving dispute

As an extensive user on Bybit, I can boldly say their UI/UX is awesome with regular upgrade. Its a go to that i will strongly advice mostly beginners to use, very easy to navigate and understanding when you convert, swap, trades etc. I could have strongly recommended it as the best, but with the hack in 2025 though users funds weren't lost, i guess nothing is truly guaranteed.

I’ve used Bybit mainly for swaps and futures trading, and from a usability and execution standpoint, the platform performs well. Order flow is smooth, fees are transparent, and liquidity on major pairs supports tight spreads. That said, security is a critical consideration. Bybit has experienced a security incident in the past, and while measures have since been improved, it’s still a factor users should be aware of when assessing platform risk and deciding how much capital to keep on centralized exchanges.

Bybit is a top crypto derivatives exchange, known for fast execution, deep liquidity, and a clean interface for trading futures, options, and spot markets. It offers leverage, advanced charts, and promotions for traders. Security is strong, but leverage trading carries high risk. Great for active traders who understand derivatives, but beginners should be careful and start small. Overall, a solid platform in the trading space.

I haven’t used the exchange extensively, but from what I’ve seen, I’m not too impressed with their security and customer service. It’s great for trading, but it’s still ranked 2nd best exchange which is just the facts. However, I don’t think the team spends enough time listening to what users have to say.

I can't get past that massive wallet hack from earlier this year. The real disgrace isn't just the theft but their sluggish, incomplete reimbursement process leaving users anxious about ever getting funds back. When an exchange drags its feet on making customers whole, trust in security is irreparably damaged

About Bybit

Website
Socials 2 more
Year Established 2018
Country United Arab Emirates
Founder Ben Zhou
CEO Ben Zhou

Bybit is a Dubai-based exchange that started with derivatives and now also covers spot trading, copy trading and earn products. In February 2025, it lost nearly $1.5 billion in ETH in the biggest crypto theft on record and it says it covered the full loss without freezing withdrawals.

Platform Background & Leadership

Bybit was founded in March 2018 by Ben Zhou, a former forex industry executive who remains CEO. It is headquartered in Dubai and reported more than 80 million users at the end of 2025. Its sponsorships have included Oracle Red Bull Racing and Borussia Dortmund.

In 2025, Bybit received a MiCA license in Austria for its EU business, based in Vienna and a Virtual Asset Platform Operator license from the UAE's Securities and Commodities Authority. In December 2025, it returned to the UK after a two-year pause, offering spot and P2P trading with financial promotions approved by Archax, an FCA-authorized firm. This approval is not an FCA license for Bybit itself and Bybit's UK offer does not include derivatives for retail users.

Bybit Security Track Record

On February 21, 2025, attackers linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group stole nearly $1.5 billion in ETH and staked ETH tokens from a Bybit multisig cold wallet during a routine transfer (TechCrunch: 2025 Crypto Theft Report). It remains the biggest crypto theft on record.

Bybit says it covered the full loss with its own funds and bridge loans, kept withdrawals open and processed more than 350,000 withdrawal requests in the first 12 hours. It also says client assets were back to full 1:1 backing within about 72 hours, based on its Proof of Reserves. Some OG reviewers noted slow reimbursement for certain users and Bybit launched a bounty program to trace the stolen funds.

Auditors in our community give Bybit a score of 48.7 across 13 reviews. Reviewers credit the response to the hack and the depth of its markets, while the 2025 theft remains a permanent part of its security record.

Bybit Fees & Fee Structure

Bybit spot fees are 0.10% maker and 0.10% taker and futures fees are 0.02% maker and 0.055% taker, with lower rates at higher VIP tiers. Crypto deposits are free and withdrawal fees vary by network.

Bybit Staking & Earn Products

Bybit Earn includes flexible savings, fixed-term deposits, dual asset products, liquidity mining and Launchpad and Launchpool events. MNT, the token of the Mantle network, is used for some fee discounts and token events on Bybit. Copy trading is popular with less experienced users, although following another trader does not reduce the risk of leveraged positions.

Trading Experience & Platform Features

Bybit's interface is built around derivatives trading. Products include spot, USDT and USDC perpetuals, inverse contracts and options, with up to 100x leverage on major pairs for eligible users; at that level, a small price move can trigger liquidation. Product access differs between the global site, Bybit EU and the UK platform. Reviews of the mobile app are mixed and some users report problems with P2P merchants.
