Bybit, one of the giants of the crypto ecosystem, has just scored a decisive point: its download from the AMF Black list in France. But behind this victory hides a complex regulatory puzzle between European ambitions and Asian challenges. A strategic theater that reveals new priorities ready to do anything to conquer Europe.
Bybit vs amph: French saga, between shadow and light
In May 2022, AMF showed a finger at “non -compliance” of French rules. Two years later, the crypto platform finally gets out of this blacklist.
Voltar symbolized by sharp detail: Initial press release from AMF, dated 2024, now has a warning For small characters: “This information is no longer up to date”. Proof that even regulators must sometimes swallow their own dust.
However, this download is not a gift. The crypto platform had to bend the luggage in France and stopped its download and guard services in January 2025. A radical decision presented as “strategic adaptation”. Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit, revealed from the French authorities in the background since 2022. The bureaucratic marathon to gain confidence … Departure. Ironically fate?
Behind this saga is clear news: European regulators want flexible actors, not cowboys. Bybit understood. By leaving France, it avoids sterile clearing and moves as a pioneer of future elevation regulation. Temporary victim for long -term profit.
The mica in sight
Sida is the key to the dominance of the market crypto. Bybit knows. His application for a hearing license is not a coincidence: it is a bet on the future. With this license, the crypto platform will be able to operate in 27 countries at once. More expensive passport than Bitcoin for $ 100,000.
But the bybit is not alone on the track. Bitget, his opponent, has just won a license in Bulgaria and expands his grip in Poland and Lithuania. HON NG, Law Director of Bitget, fresh: “We are dying of the approval of the mica for 2025”. A quiet race in which it counts every month. Therefore, they must accelerate … or risk overtaking.
Snída is not a formality. The text requires reinforced controls, increased transparency and liquid reserves. In the case, the accustomed navigation in less regulated waters will be painful. But this is the price you have to pay seduce European institutions. Dangerous game where every concession counts. Meanwhile, Trump releases an old explosive lever.
