Bybit returns to the Indian crypto scene after regulatory nod

Source Cryptopolitan

Bybit restored full access to its trading app in India after months of regulatory negotiations. The app is now available again on both the App Store and Google Play. However, the exchange hinted that its website will be fully accessible to Indian users within days.

This marks a crucial re-entry into one of the world’s fastest-growing crypto markets. India has leapfrogged to the top of the Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index, ahead of the United States. Bitcoin’s recent rally to hit an all-time high (ATH) above $124k has made it more global than before.

Bybit restores full services in India

ByBit’s relaunch follows its registration with India’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) earlier this year. This gives it status as a reporting entity under the country’s anti-money laundering framework. Without that sign-off, Bybit and other offshore exchanges had been forced to retreat from the market.

It resumed partial operations in February, but only after extended talks with regulators has the exchange been able to restore its full suite of services. This includes spot and derivatives trading, options, and copy trading.

“This is not a comeback, it’s a new chapter for Bybit in India,” co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou said in a statement. He added, “India is among the most promising digital asset markets globally,” and reaffirmed the exchange’s devotion to delivering Indian users with secure, transparent crypto experiences.

Vikas Gupta, who heads Bybit’s India operations, called the return a “milestone moment.” He pledged that the exchange wants to go beyond trading services, pitching education initiatives and partnerships to grow the local ecosystem.

A report revealed that India is leading the crypto adoption globally. Asia-Pacific volumes jumped to $2.36 trillion from $1.4 trillion a year earlier over the past year. India, Vietnam, and Pakistan are driving much of the surge. That growth stands in contrast to the often uneasy relationship between Indian regulators and the industry.

Tax rules on crypto assets remain punishing, with a 30% levy on gains and a 1% levy on transactions.

The cumulative crypto market cap is hovering around the $3.8 trillion mark. After the recent correction, Bitcoin is trading at an average of $112,100 at the press time. The biggest altcoin had some big months that helped it outperform BTC. Ethereum price jumped by 55% over the past 60 days. ETH is trading around $4,315 at the press time.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
