About the exchange

Bybit is a Dubai-based derivatives exchange that became the dominant CEX on-ramp for Russian-speaking users between 2023 and 2025 — P2P in rubles works without a VPN, KYC accepts RU passports, transfers go through SBP/Tinkoff/Sberbank. Full TON support: spot, P2P, perpetuals, native-network deposit and withdrawal. Publishes Proof of Reserves through Merkle tree on a recurring basis. In February 2025 the platform suffered the industry's largest hack to date (~$1.4B cold-wallet exploit attributed to Lazarus Group), covered the losses from reserves plus borrowed liquidity, and continued operating without an outage — a stress-test that demonstrated the depth of its protection fund.
