Bybit plans European super-app offering stocks and derivatives as CEO Ben Zhou confirms the crypto exchange is pursuing a MiFID license in Austria

Give Bybit’s derivatives-native crew stocks, metals, crypto, cards and payments in one familiar hull, and ye’ve got a cross-sell engine legacy brokers cannot cheaply copy; the edge be distribution, not another shiny asset menu. Austria’s FMA already licensed Bybit EU under MiCAR in May 2025, so MiFID would bolt regulated derivatives onto an operating EEA entity instead of a paper launch. Me tripwire: Bybit’s own EU guidance says bybit.eu be a separate account from bybit.com—if collateral and transfers stay fractured, ye’ve built two boats behind one icon, not a super-app. 🦑
