De Nederlandsche Bank mendenda Bybit $2,4 juta karena menawarkan layanan kripto di Belanda tanpa registrasi wajib. Bank sentral Belanda, De Nederlandsche Bank, telah mendenda Bybit sebesar €2,2 juta ($2,4 juta) karena menawarkan layanan kripto di negara tersebut tanpa registrasi yang diperlukan, melanggar peraturan yang dirancang untuk memerangi pencucian uang dan pendanaan teroris. Denda yang dikeluarkan pada tanggal 22 Oktober itu berasal dari kegagalan Bybit untuk mendaftar ke DNB sebagaimana diamanatkan oleh Undang-Undang Anti Pencucian Uang dan Anti Pendanaan Teroris, yang mengharuskan penyedia layanan kripto untuk mendaftar guna membantu memantau dan mencegah aliran keuangan ilegal. Persyaratan pendaftaran diperkenalkan pada bulan Mei 2020 sebagai respons terhadap meningkatnya risiko yang terkait dengan transaksi kripto, khususnya potensi anonimitasnya.

De Nederlandsche Bank fined Bybit $2.4m for offering crypto services in the Netherlands without mandatory registration.
The Netherlands‘ central bank, De Nederlandsche Bank, has fined Bybit €2.2 million ($2.4 million) for offering crypto services in the country without the required registration, breaching regulations designed to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.
The fine, issued on Oct. 22, stems from Bybit’s failure to register with DNB as mandated by the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act, which requires crypto service providers to register to help monitor and prevent illicit financial flows. The registration requirement was introduced in May 2020 in response to the heightened risks associated with crypto transactions, particularly their potential for anonymity.
According to DNB, Bybit’s non-compliance not only contravened regulatory objectives but also hindered the company’s ability to report unusual transactions.
“[…] Bybit was unable to report unusual transactions to the Financial Intelligence Unit-Netherlands during the period of non-compliance.”

DNB said it had determined the fine considering the severity, extent, and duration of Bybit’s non-compliance, although the fine was reduced due to the company’s efforts to rectify the situation. The exchange transferred its Dutch customers to local partner SATOS B.V. firm and has since operated under the SATOS Virtual Asset Service Provider license.
In response to DNB’s statement, Bybit acknowledged the fine and reiterated its commitment to compliance. In a press release, the exchange highlighted that it initiated remediation efforts in 2022 to “minimize potential financial damage.” Ben Zhou, Bybit co-founder and chief executive, emphasized the company’s dedication to “responsible growth,” saying the exchange remains “committed to working closely with European regulators to build a responsible and transparent ecosystem.”
