Bybit will suspend new account registrations for individuals and corporations in Japan starting October 31 at 21:00, as part of compliance measures with the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA). Existing users will not be affected immediately, but further restrictions could follow. This move comes after Bybit received warnings from the FSA in 2021 and 2023, amid Japan's tightening regulations on unregistered overseas exchanges. Bybit emphasized its commitment to investor protection and compliance, and is preparing for formal registration in Japan.
