If American Investors Utilize Bybit to Transfer Funds to Coinbase, Bybit Could Face Significant Legal Issues

In a recent analysis, crypto expert Colin Wu highlighted a potential shift in the CFTC’s focus from Binance to Bybit. Following the resolution of issues with Binance, Wu suggests that the CFTC, facing challenges in locating many Bybit employees in the U.S., is now attempting to obtain user information from Coinbase. The objective is to scrutinize transfers from Bybit to Coinbase, particularly those involving American users, to determine if Bybit is violating any regulations by providing services to U.S. customers.

Bybit stands out as one of the most widely utilized and robust derivatives trading platforms in the cryptocurrency market. The exchange has a significant presence in the global crypto derivatives trading sector.

Just this month, Bybit earned an exclusive ‘AA’ rating in both Spot and Derivatives trading categories in the recent CCData Crypto Exchange Benchmark Report. This recognition underscores the exchange’s commitment to maintaining high standards in performance and security.
