Crypto exchange Bybit is no longer illegally operating in France in the eyes of the country’s financial regulator, its CEO said Friday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The exchange was on France’s regulatory blacklist for more than two years<\/a>, Ben Zhou, the CEO of Bybit, said in an X post on Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“After more than two years of working with the French regulator through multiple remediation efforts, BYBIT is now officially removed from France AMF blacklist,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A search of the Autorite des Marches Financiers (AMF) database<\/a> confirms that Bybit, the second largest global exchange by volume<\/a>, is no longer on the blacklist.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Just last May the regulator was advising people that Bybit was not registered to operate in the country and encouraged investors to make arrangements so that the platform eventually “ceases<\/a>.” Soon after the notice, Bybit said it would stop offering products to French nationals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But now the exchange’s CEO is hopeful it will be able to get a Markets in Crypto Assets license (MiCA).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“MiCA license next,” Zhou said on X. Companies are striving to get the coveted MiCA license, which would let them operate across the 30 European Economic Area nations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Dubai-based exchange knows how to make a comeback after receiving warnings from regulators. Recently, Bybit managed to secure a license<\/a> in India after paying a $1 million fine.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Neither Bybit nor the AMF returned requests for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
