Bybit EU review: the EU entity and the group
Bybit EU GmbH launched its EU service in 2025, while the wider Bybit group dates from 2018; the track record in this review uses the group founding year, as for every brand.
Bybit EU documents a withdrawal address whitelist, with an optional 24-hour lock for newly added addresses.
Its passport covers 29 of the 30 EEA countries; Malta is not listed.
Leveraged products offered by other Bybit entities are outside the scope of this review, which, like the site, does not compare leveraged trading.
Bybit EU review: fees and euro withdrawals
Bybit EU explains its spot trading fees in its help centre, linked in the sources below.
For euro withdrawals, it says the fee depends on the payment method and is shown when you make the withdrawal.
Because no fee is published in advance, the withdrawal fee point is not given.
Bybit EU review: past incident
In February 2025, the Bybit group suffered a large breach of its exchange, and under the published method this documented incident deducts 0.5 points from the track record.
A past incident does not mean a provider is unsafe today, but it is part of its record, and it is a good reason to use every security feature available.
Bybit EU review: how the Reliability Score was calculated
The Bybit EU Reliability Score is 7.5 out of 10, rated Very good, calculated with the same published method as every other exchange.

|---|---|---|
| MiCA licence | 3 / 3 | Authorised by FMA, passport notified for 29 of 30 EEA countries |
| Track record | 1 / 2 | Operating since 2018; past incident: Large breach of the Bybit group exchange in February 2025 |

| Account protection | 1 / 1 | Two-factor authentication available; withdrawal address allow-list available |
| Euro withdrawals | 1 / 2 | Euro withdrawals to a bank account: SEPA, fee shown at withdrawal; fee not confirmed from a public source |
