Is Bybit Available in Singapore? (2026)
No — Singapore is named directly in Bybit’s own list of excluded jurisdictions, alongside the United States, Canada and the Chinese Mainland. The cause is licensing: Singapore requires a licence from its financial regulator to serve residents, and Bybit does not hold one. A locally licensed platform is the fix, not a workaround.
What the official list says
Bybit’s Service Restricted Countries page (its own stamp: last updated 6 August 2026), citing Section 11.3 of the Platform Terms, names Singapore among the excluded jurisdictions together with the United States, the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong and Canada. This is the platform’s own statement, not a third-party guess.
Why Singapore is closed
Singapore runs a licensing regime for digital-payment-token services: serving residents requires authorisation from the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Exchanges that have not obtained it exclude the country rather than operate unlicensed — the same pattern that closes Canada and the United States for Bybit.
What actually works from Singapore
A platform licensed for the region. Signing up through a VPN or a foreign address breaks the terms you accept at registration, and the usual outcome is a frozen withdrawal at verification — when the funds are already inside.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bybit banned in Singapore?
Singapore is named in Bybit's own excluded-jurisdictions list, last updated 6 August 2026. The platform does not offer services to users there.
Why does Bybit exclude Singapore?
Serving residents requires authorisation from the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Bybit does not hold it, so the country is excluded rather than served unlicensed.
Can I use Bybit in Singapore with a VPN?
No. It breaks the terms accepted at sign-up, and the block usually surfaces at withdrawal verification, when the funds are already on the platform.
What can Singapore residents use instead?
A platform licensed by MAS for the local market. Licensing is what makes access durable — an unlicensed route can close at any time.
Was Bybit ever available in Singapore?
Bybit has excluded Singapore in its published terms; the current list of 6 August 2026 still names it.
