Our commitment to this market is unwavering, and we intend to maintain our presence in the UK for the long term.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The company's CEO, Ben Zhou, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benbybit\/status\/1702332105727025292\">added<\/a> that the company is talking with regulators to find a solution and reach an agreement. In a separate statement to CoinDesk, CEO Ben Zhou said that &#8220;leaving the U.K. is not part of our current strategy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zhou was quoted in earlier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblock.co\/post\/251007\/bybit-expects-to-exit-uk-market-as-new-regulations-loom\">reports<\/a> saying that Bybit would likely &#8220;have to exit [the U.K.] very soon&#8221; due to upcoming regulations that restrict how crypto companies advertise and promote themselves. Furthermore, he described the regulations as extremely broad, stating:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;[The] FCA has &#8230; asked what our plan is to deal with this new law. And the new law is that if you use English as a language, they will see you as trying to solicit their users, so you cannot claim that you are in reverse solicitation.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Zhou's interpretations of the new rules are his own. Nevertheless, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/uks-new-crypto-ad-laws-will-go-into-effect-in-october\/\">regulations in question<\/a> are very strict. In addition to banning referral programs and mandating risk warnings, the rules allow for harsh penalties, including prison sentences and unlimited fines.<\/p>\n<h2>Changes could affect entire crypto industry<\/h2>\n<p>Zhou also told The Block that the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has contacted much of the crypto industry, including <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/okx\/\">OKX<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/binance\/\">Binance<\/a>, and other companies.<\/p>\n<p>Though those companies have not directly commented on the matter, others have already announced temporary withdrawals from the U.K. market. PayPal said on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/paypal-to-pause-uk-crypto-purchases-starting-in-october\/\">Aug. 14<\/a> that it will pause its U.K. services until 2024. Luno said on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/digital-currency-group-subsidiary-luno-to-pause-certain-uk-services-citing-forthcoming-regulations\/\">Sept. 11<\/a> that it will pause its U.K. services until an unknown date. (Binance also withdrew from the U.K. in <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/binances-uk-subsidiary-withdraws-fca-registration-as-european-exodus-continues\/\">June 2023<\/a> but did not refer to upcoming changes to advertising regulations.)<\/p>\n<p>Bybit is among the largest exchanges by volume. Over the past 24 hours, it handled over $820 million in cryptocurrency transactions, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/exchanges\/bybit_spot\">CoinGecko<\/a> data. By extension, it is also one of the largest companies to comment on the rule change publicly.<\/p>\n<p>The U.K.'s new crypto advertising regulations will take effect on Oct. 8. Companies can apply for a three-month grace period to make any necessary changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bybit announced on Sept. 14\u00a0 that it intends to continue operating its crypto exchange in the U.K., contradicting earlier reports that it would exit that country.
