Bybit CEO Ben Zhou Reveals 2025 Roadmap for Trust and Web3
At the “Keynote with Ben” event, Bybit co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou unveiled the company’s strategic agenda for 2025 which centers around safety, compliance, liquidity, and product innovation.
Highlights from the report were given at the outset: 74 million global users, 200 billion daily orders (up 75% year-on-year), 3.5 million transactions per second, and 99.99% uptime. He reiterated that the future of crypto is in its use cases rather than in price speculation.
Strengthening Security and Regulatory Compliance
Talking about the Lazarus Group hack that happened in February 2025, Zhou explained that the money that was stolen was in a third-party custodian, not Bybit’s systems. The exchange, in return, brought out on-chain proof, advised nine independent audits, and initiated 50 security upgrades.
From a compliance point of view, Bybit registered a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) license, which allows the platform to be active in all 29 EEA nations. The company is planning to open offices in Poland, Portugal, and Spain and also waiting for approvals in the UAE and India.
Web3 Expansion and New Product Launches
One of the most interesting sections of the keynote was the presentation of Mantle 2.0, which is designed to link institutional-grade infrastructure with DeFi. Some of the new products that managers introduced were bbSOL (a Solana liquid staking token), AI-powered TradeGPT, tokenized stocks such as Apple and Tesla, and “On-Chain Bybit” for seamless DeFi trading.
With regard to payments, the Bybit Card has more than 2 million users and the volume of transactions has increased by 68%. Bybit Pay has extended QR code payment support in Asia and LATAM, the number of users has grown by 719% in the last quarter.
The latest Bybit App 5.0 brings in a Lite mode, enhanced personalization, RFQ trading for institutions, and revamped asset management facilities.
Summary
Bybit’s 2025 roadmap, presented by CEO Ben Zhou, reinforces its commitment to user trust, regulatory compliance, and Web3 expansion. With stronger security measures, innovative product rollouts, and global licensing wins, Bybit is positioning itself as a key player in shaping the next phase of crypto adoption.
