Bybit Secures Austrian EMI License for Regulated European Payment Services

Bybit Payments GmbH obtains Austrian EMI license from FMA, enabling regulated e-money services across Europe via Bybit.eu alongside existing MiCAR authorization.

Woofun AI reports that Bybit Payments GmbH has received an Electronic Money Institution license from the Austrian Financial Market Authority. This authorization allows Bybit to provide regulated e-money and payment services throughout Europe through Bybit.eu. The entity complements Bybit EU GmbH, which has operated as a crypto asset service provider under MiCAR since May 2025.

Bybit Payments will focus on fiat and e-money operations, distinct from the digital asset management handled by Bybit EU GmbH. Planned services include peer-to-peer transfers, open banking features, merchant solutions, card programs, and strong customer authentication tools. The license is expected to facilitate direct partnerships with European financial institutions and payment processors.
