PANews reported on May 17 that according to CoinDesk, the French securities regulator once again warned the crypto exchange Bybit, urging customers to "make arrangements for the possibility that the platform (may) suddenly stop providing services to French customers". In a notice on Thursday, the French Financial Authority (AMF) stated that Bybit is not registered as a digital asset service provider (DASP) and therefore illegally provides services in France. Since May 20, 2022, Bybit has been blacklisted by the AMF for illegal operations. The notice seems to suggest that the AMF may take enforcement action against Bybit. The AMF reminded investors that "it reserves the right to take legal action to block the platform's website under the provisions of the Monetary and Financial Law", and retail investors should "take all necessary measures to avoid being unable to access their assets". According to previous news, in March this year, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) included Bybit in the list of suspicious cryptocurrency exchanges and warned the public that the exchange did not have a license. Last year, Bybit withdrew from the Canadian and British markets due to regulatory pressure.
