Bybit said the decision is part of its efforts to align with the requirements of Japan’s Financial Services Agency. The exchange will take it to review and adapt to the local regulatory framework.

Existing Japanese users are not affected by the new change and can continue using Bybit without interruption. However, the exchange noted that it may introduce additional measures in the future if required.
