Bybit is committed to operating within the regulatory framework of India and takes its compliance obligations seriously. We have been working diligently with the FIU-IND to address their concerns and ensure full adherence to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (“PMLA”) and associated regulations. We recognize the importance of robust Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (“CFT”) measures and are dedicated to upholding the highest standards in these areas.
We believe that our engagement and cooperation throughout the FIU-IND registration process demonstrates our commitment to compliance. We have been actively working to fulfill all necessary requirements for compliance, including its registration application on 26 June 2024 as a Virtual Digital Asset Service Provider (“VDASP”) in India.
The exchange is also proactively involved in the Indian crypto community to educate users and spread awareness. Bybit is currently a Silver Associate Member with the Bharat Web3 Association (“BWA”) . Through this partnership, we hope to use our platform to promote Web3 adoption and foster innovation in the Indian crypto ecosystem.
