- Bybit Fintech Limited was added to the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Investor Alert List on Wednesday.
- The MAS alert list warns consumers about entities that may appear licensed or regulated by the authority.
- Publicly available information indicates that Bybit is not licensed or regulated by MAS.
- Despite being founded by Singaporean entrepreneur Ben Zhou, Bybit does not operate in Singapore, listing it as a “Service Restricted Country.”
- Singapore has strict oversight of its crypto sector, with recent actions against other firms for regulatory breaches.
The MAS continues to enforce stringent regulations within the crypto industry, underscoring its commitment to consumer protection and transparency in financial services.
