Bybit CEO: retail crypto activity down 30% from peak

  • —Retail activity is 30% below peak, CEX spot volumes are 67% below October 2025 highs
  • —Bybit recovered market share from 4% to 7-9.5% after a $1.5 billion hack in early 2025
  • —The platform serves more than 80 million users in 181 countries
  • —Bybit is seeking EMI and MiFID licenses in Europe and launched AI features in September 2026
Why it matters: Lower retail activity means smaller volumes and fees for exchanges, which weighs on the entire market until a new catalyst emerges.
