Just back from Hanoi after meeting Deputy PM Nguyễn Văn Thắng. What stood out: this isn't hype-driven policy — it's careful, pragmatic construction. Vietnam's new crypto resolution lays out a structured pilot that takes both innovation and risk seriously. The message was consistent: innovate, but never at the cost of investor protection, AML, transparency, and market discipline. We also discussed how Bybit can contribute — regulatory experience, infrastructure, cybersecurity, talent. Still early. But direction matters more than speed. And Vietnam's direction is clear. media.chinhphu.vn/video/pho-…

Two important updates for Bybit in Malaysia. 1. Bybit has been removed from the Securities Commission Malaysia - Investor Alert List after constructive engagement and alignment with local regulatory expectations. 2. We also recently led funding into Hata, a dual-licensed crypto platform in Malaysia. We believe regulated local infrastructure matters for long-term industry growth and user trust. Malaysia continues to be an important market for crypto adoption in the region. We will keep working with local partners, regulators, and the community to support responsible growth. More to come.
Apr 21
We’re excited to share a major milestone for Hata. We’ve successfully closed our US$8 million Series A funding round, led by Bybit. This marks more than just funding, it signals a strategic partnership to accelerate the growth of Malaysia’s digital asset ecosystem, combining Hata’s regulated local expertise with Bybit’s global strength in technology and innovation. With this, we’re doubling down on what matters: ⚡ Stronger liquidity ⚡ Faster user growth ⚡ Better, more innovative products for Malaysians Thank you to our partners, community, and team for being part of this journey. We’re just getting started 🚀 What are you waiting for? Sign up on Hata now app.hata.io/register

Bybit, as the biggest holder and supporter of Mantle, will vote YES for this proposal. When we got hacked the industry got together and helped us. It is the only right thing that we do the same to unit together and walk out from difficult times.
Following this week's rsETH incident involving @KelpDAO and @LayerZero_Core, a proposal has been put forward for Mantle to contribute a loan facility to @aave's coordinated relief effort. The loan would form part of a wider coordinated framework, structured to minimize disruption across the broader ecosystem and contribute to a measured path forward for users affected. DeFi United, as one. Full details below: forum.mantle.xyz/t/discussio…

An update on the rsETH incident involving @KelpDAO. To our Mantle community, ecosystem builders, and partners, following our initial statement earlier this week, we want to share where things stand, what has been confirmed, and how we are moving forward. 1. Mantle remains fully secure. Our underlying network, official bridges, and core assets have not been compromised. @LayerZero_Core has confirmed in its KelpDAO Incident Statement that the exploit was isolated entirely to KelpDAO's rsETH configuration, with zero contagion to any other asset or application. The attacker did not interact with Mantle contracts or Mantle markets at any point. The localized liquidity pressure observed in recent days reflects spillover from that third-party cross-chain vulnerability, not any issue with Mantle's infrastructure. The protective pauses outlined in our prior statement remain in place and will be lifted once our team and ecosystem partners confirm it is appropriate to do so. 2. The Mantle ecosystem is resilient. Since April 18, capital has been steadily flowing back into the Mantle ecosystem. Onchain data shows cumulative repayments across core USD assets have reached approximately $204 million within 48 hours. Liquidity conditions continue to normalize, and the strength of the recovery speaks to the depth and resilience of the Mantle community. 3. Mantle is standing together with our ecosystem. Mantle is in active coordination and communication with the @aave team and affected protocols on a coordinated recovery plan, including potential treasury participation. We will continue to share meaningful updates as the situation develops. Through moments like these, Web3's strength shows how we stand together. That's where we are, and where we'll remain. We stand firmly with our builders. Thank you for standing with us. Stay safe.
We are aware of the ongoing rsETH incident involving @KelpDAO and are actively monitoring the situation with our partners to support the community and ensure security is maintained at every level. As a precautionary measure, we have temporarily paused bridging through the Mantle Super Portal and the cross-chain function of the $MNT contract. To be clear, Mantle's contracts have not been exploited and no user funds are at risk. These pauses are protective, not reactive. We will share updates as more information becomes available.

Bybit AUM or user asset is standing at $14.84B as per today ($16.5B in Q1) . The total user asset in the coinglass report is not correct. All of our AUM is onchain and audited with POR. We are reaching out to @coinglass_com to correct this data. defillama.com/cexs
CoinGlass 2026 Q1 Cryptocurrency Market Share Research Report One key takeaway from the Report: Trading stayed active, but liquidity and capital became even more concentrated at the top. Binance remained the clear leader in volume, OI, depth, and reserves, while Hyperliquid showed that on-chain derivatives are now part of the mainstream conversation. Q1 was not about euphoria. It was about recovery, concentration, and shifting market structure. coinglass.com/en/learn/2026-…

Bybit continues to strengthen its commitment to building a compliant and collaborative digital asset ecosystem in Georgia. Following a meeting between CEO Ben Zhou and Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, discussions focused on regulatory cooperation, fintech innovation, and the role of responsible growth in shaping the country’s digital economy. “Georgia is becoming a model for how crypto companies can embed themselves into a country's financial fabric. The real measure of success is whether we’re making financial services more accessible, more affordable, and more connected for everyday users,” said Ben Zhou. With a VASP license, PSP license, localized platform, and the launch of the Bybit Card, now the largest crypto card offering in the country, Bybit continues to expand its role across both trading and payments infrastructure.

1B AUm in just 3 weeks...
New month, new all-time highs. Actually, make that two: → Mantle crossed $1B in total lending and borrowing on @aave. → Mantle's DeFi TVL surged to $750M , recording a 66% growth in 7 days. When MoMNTum is inevitable, DeFi is inevitable, and we proved it.
