This week in Asia, Dubai’s Bybit officially became the world’s second-largest crypto exchange. Meanwhile, Delta started offering options trading on Bitcoin and Ethereum in India. The Asia-Pacific market is witnessing a surge in interest for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
Dubai-headquartered Bybit has now become the second largest crypto exchange in terms of trading volume.
Bybit gained on the void left by the defunct FTX platform. Co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou insisted that the opportunity presented by FTX’s collapse, allowed Bybit to capture a significant portion of the market.
The exchange’s strategic targeting of former FTX clients and focus on attracting users from Europe and Russia have fueled its rapid growth.
