Bybit Puts Crypto Transparency in the Spotlight

Victoria, Seychelles--(Newsfile Corp. - November 9, 2022) - Bybit, the world's third most visited crypto exchange, has said that recent market volatility is a wake up call for the industry and that customer confidence and market stability should be top priority for every exchange. Bybit also highlighted that the recent uncertainty had shone the spotlight on fund safety, custodianship, and transparency, and the industry would have to tackle this head on.

"The entire sector has a duty and obligation to do better by our customers," said Ben Zhou, Bybit co-founder and CEO. "Bybit has always been a leader in this area and provides one of the highest levels of fund safety and security in the industry - But we can also do better."

Zhou also stressed Bybit's stance towards customer funds. "Bybit is NOT a bank, we are a custodian of our customers' funds. We do not use those funds for any other purpose! Bybit can guarantee that all clients assets are stored in one to one liquidity held in custody - available in full, on request, and without delay if requested."

Bybit commended industry moves to provide greater reassurance for customers as they navigate a volatile market. Bybit has long advocated for an industry wide standard on transparency that would help to provide greater trust and credibility for the industry and confidence for customers and regulators.

The company also said that despite its trust and security credentials, it expected to establish a Proof of Reserve programme in the near future - as an example of best practice for other exchanges and a symbol of its ongoing commitment to open and transparent trading.

Looking to the future Zhou added, "We are here for the long run and place a strong emphasis on staying focused and strict processes, policies, compliance, and our overarching risk management strategy. As we navigate the bear market, we are building out our products and frontline staff - preparing for a fast start when the market turns."
