 <p>Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has unveiled its plans to suspend services for UK residents. This decision, outlined in a press release on September 22, will be executed in two phases. It will start with the cessation of new account applications on October 1. Subsequently, on October 8, the platform will halt new deposits, new contracts, and changes to existing user positions.</p> 
 <p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bybit" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bybit.html">Bybit</a>’s timeline for service suspension aligns precisely with the FCA’s deadline for <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> asset firms operating in the UK. Additionally, the FCA’s regulatory efforts are geared towards establishing marketing regulations that are “clear, fair, and not misleading.”</p>

 <p>Initially announced in June, these rules have garnered heightened attention, with the FCA issuing an additional warning on September 21. The rules emphasize the October 8 deadline and the potential for criminal charges against non-compliant firms.</p>
