<p>Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has announced its decision to suspend operations in the United Kingdom in response to recent regulatory developments.

<p>Starting October 1, new customers will be unable to open accounts with Bybit. Additionally, beginning on October 8, existing customers will no longer be allowed to add funds, create new contracts, or increase their positions on the platform. However, they will retain the ability to reduce and close their existing positions and withdraw their funds from the platform.</p> 
<p>This decision follows Bybit’s earlier statement that it was exploring all possible options to continue operating in the UK. The exchange’s move reflects the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency regulations worldwide, with companies adapting to meet the <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bybits-steps-out-from-canada-following-binance/">changing requirements</a> imposed by regulatory authorities.</p>
