Bybit announced on 22 December 2025 that it will cease services for residents of Japan and gradually apply account restrictions starting in 2026. Users who receive a residency notice must complete Identity Verification Level 2 (proof of address/KYC 2) by 22 January 2026 to retain access to bybit.com; otherwise they will be classified as Japanese residents and face service limitations.

The move aligns with Bybit’s proactive compliance strategy under Japanese regulatory requirements. Affected customers are directed to the verification portal and encouraged to contact Bybit’s support team for assistance with any concerns.
