Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has announced that its Dubai entity secured a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) licence for spot trading from the emirate's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), expanding its locally regulated exchange operations. Bybit has announced a Dubai VARA licence permitting its local entity to provide cryptocurrency spot exchange services. VARA's public register lists Bybit Fintech FZE as an active licensee authorized to serve three investor categories. CEO Ben Zhou described the approval as another step in Bybit's commitment to its Dubai headquarters. Bybit plans to seek derivatives approval separately, with its current Dubai licence limited to Exchange Services.
