The BRICS TimesBybit resumes services in India after securing FIU-IND approval, marking a shift toward regulatory compliance.
Global crypto exchange Bybit has officially restarted its full range of services in India after months of suspension. The company confirmed that its mobile app is now active on both iOS and Android, while website access will return gradually over the next few days.
The resumption comes after Bybit completed registration with the Financial Intelligence Unit-India (FIU-IND) earlier this year. This allows the platform to operate legally under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), aligning with India’s compliance framework.
Bybit Says It’s Committed to India’s Crypto Growth
Calling the restart a “milestone moment,” Vikas Gupta, Country Manager of Bybit India, said the exchange aims to strengthen the local crypto ecosystem through education, collaborations, and community-driven efforts.
With services back online, Indian users can now access spot trading, derivatives, options, and copy trading. The exchange also confirmed it will strictly follow India’s KYC and anti-money laundering rules.
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou said, “India is among the most promising digital asset markets globally. We are excited to resume normal business and reaffirm our devotion to delivering Indian users with secure, transparent, and world-class cryptocurrency experiences.”
Return After Suspension
In January, Bybit suspended its Indian operations following regulatory shifts, putting trading into “close-only” mode and pausing deposits, though withdrawals remained active. By July, the company had addressed compliance hurdles, including GST-related adjustments, paving the way for a full comeback.
Adding to its renewed focus, Bybit became the title sponsor of the India Blockchain Tour 2025, which started in Hyderabad on June 28.
India’s Growing Role in Crypto Adoption
India ranked at the top for global crypto adoption in 2025, underscoring the importance of regulatory clarity for exchanges. Bybit’s return highlights both the challenges and opportunities that international platforms face as India moves toward transparent oversight of its fast-expanding cryptocurrency sector.
