On August 6, cryptocurrency exchange Bybit released its new roadmap for the future of the crypto industry, ushering in a new era focused on innovation, security, and trading excellence.

In his speech "Keynote with Ben: Reshaping What's Next, Bit by Bit" , Bybit co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou shared his forward-looking vision for the development of the industry, focusing on real-world applications, institutional-level innovation, and deep collaboration in the ecosystem.

Bybit has served a global user base of over six years, reaching 74 million users. One in eight crypto users worldwide chooses Bybit. Ben reiterated Bybit's core mission: "Rewrite Your Success. Reshape The Standard."

"The crypto industry is no longer just about speculation, but about real-world application scenarios. At Bybit, we are not only trading the future, but also redefining the definition of success step by step." said Ben.

Compliance as the foundation to build the path of future development

Ben opened his speech by emphasizing Bybit's "compliance-first" development strategy. As the industry matures, compliance becomes a critical cornerstone. Bybit is now fully compliant with the EU's MiCAR (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) requirements and will successfully obtain registration with India's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-India) in the first half of 2025.

Ben pointed out: "The sustainable development of crypto starts with trust and transparency." He said that compliance is not a hindrance, but a catalyst for long-term growth.

Reshaping the industry's new safety standards

In February of this year, a third-party supplier of Bybit suffered a multi-stage, complex attack, the largest hack in the crypto industry to date. Bybit's own infrastructure remained intact, and the company quickly activated its response: within weeks, it completed nine comprehensive audits conducted by internal and independent security experts and implemented over 50 security upgrades.

This quick and transparent response has received widespread praise in the industry and established Bybit as a new industry benchmark for platform security.

Infrastructure upgrades to enhance the excellent trading experience

Bybit continues to improve platform performance and stability. Its upgraded matching engine can process 3.5 million transactions per second, with a daily order volume approaching 200 billion, representing a 75% year-on-year increase in the first half of 2025.

By extending Retail Price Optimization (RPI) to perpetual contracts, Bybit has achieved a 150% increase in liquidity and a five-fold improvement in order execution efficiency, gaining widespread favor among professional and VIP traders and further solidifying its position as the industry's top choice for professional trading platforms.

Reconstructing a new landscape of crypto wealth management

With the continued influx of institutional and high-net-worth clients, Bybit is reshaping wealth management in the digital age. Its newly launched wealth management platform, which has surpassed $150 million in assets under management (AUM), offers sophisticated investors personalized portfolios and strategic services, backed by Bybit's robust trading depth and secure systems.

Upgrading Practicality: Bybit Card and the Crypto Payment Ecosystem

The newly upgraded Bybit Card was also a key highlight of the presentation. This "crypto-native business card" supports Visa and Mastercard networks, integrates intelligent security features and real-time spending tracking, and caters to both business and personal use cases, truly seamlessly connecting crypto assets with real-world spending scenarios.

The Bybit card is expected to enter the EU market in August and is planned to be launched in Peru and Colombia in the fourth quarter.

Meanwhile, Bybit Pay has also achieved significant breakthroughs in its payment infrastructure. Support for local QR code payment functionality in Southeast Asian and Latin American markets has led to a 719% quarter-over-quarter increase in payment usage. By partnering with local services like Rappi and Vivaticket, Bybit is driving the adoption of crypto payments as a form of cash.

Bybit Lite is now available for easy earning and trading.

Bybit also officially launched an upgraded version of the Bybit app—a comprehensive platform that integrates active trading and passive income. The "Bybit Lite" version, designed for general users, features a restructured "Earn Coins" module, offering simplified, personalized strategies to help users more efficiently activate idle assets.

Mantle 2.0 strategic partnership opens a new chapter

The speech also announced a deeper strategic collaboration between Bybit and Mantle to jointly advance the development of "institutional-grade on-chain finance." With the official launch of Mantle 2.0, its ecosystem integration and leadership team have also been upgraded. Bybit Co-CEO and Partner Helen and Head of Spot and Web 3 Emily will serve as core advisors.

As a key partner of the Mantle ecosystem, Bybit will engage in in-depth cooperation around infrastructure, liquidity, and governance mechanisms to establish a new standard for scalable and compliant DeFi and meet the market demand for "trustworthy DeFi."

Reshaping industry success standards

This keynote speech not only represents the growth of the Bybit platform but also signals a redefinition of what success means in the crypto industry. Ben stated, "We firmly believe that crypto should be accessible, trustworthy, secure, and accessible to everyone—from first-time users to experienced institutional investors. Together with our global community, we will rewrite the rules of the industry and truly reshape the future of crypto."
