The distinction between entity, activity and product matters for users of a global exchange brand. This entry supports a claim about the Dubai company’s exchange permission. It does not establish that all products shown on Bybit’s international website—including derivatives—fall within that permission. Nor does retail eligibility mean that every applicant or every asset is automatically accepted.[1]
The register is the primary evidence of the licence’s status. Product availability and onboarding still need to be read against the Dubai entity’s own service and account conditions; the licence entry alone is not a complete product catalogue.[1]
