⚡️ Bybit Exits French Market Due to Regulatory Pressure
▶️ Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has announced the suspension of its operations in France, citing regulatory challenges from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF). French users' accounts will be restricted to "close-only" mode from August 2, with all positions liquidated by August 13.
🔒 Bybit, blacklisted by AMF since 2022 for failing to register as a Digital Asset Services Provider, hopes to return to France after obtaining proper licenses. This move follows increased regulatory scrutiny of crypto exchanges in France, including recent challenges faced by Binance.
Bybit's French exit highlights growing regulatory pressures on crypto exchanges in Europe.
