Global Technology Vision: Intelligence Meets Finance
Rockman Zhang, Bybit's Chief Technology Officer (CTO), will share Bybit's perspective on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in reshaping financial services, from AI-powered trading environments and conversational interfaces to the responsible deployment of autonomous agents in financial markets.
The convergence of AI agents and financial infrastructure requires the active building of trust between humans, agents, and systems. As the CTO of a global platform serving over 80 million users worldwide, Rockman will shed light on Bybit's approach to safety, transparency and scale in the AI-powered era of financial services.
The engagement follows Bybit's series of milestones in 2026, including the launch of Bybit AI, the company's conversational assistant unifying trading and support; the introduction of U.S. stocks and ETF access for eligible users worldwide; and the revamped Bybit app, which brings crypto, stocks, macro assets, Earn and Alpha into a single connected experience.
Bybit EU: Europe's Regulated Financial Platform
Bybit EU will also take advantage of Europe's largest technology event to reinforce its position as a compliance-first digital finance platform built for the EEA. As the Platinum Sponsor of Web Summit 2026, Bybit EU will share its vision of financial innovation through the power of technology.
Two distinct Austrian authorizations form Bybit EU's regulatory foundation in Europe, with Bybit EU GmbH as an authorized crypto-asset service provider under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) by Austria's Financial Market Authority (FMA) since May 2025, and Bybit Payments GmbH as a licensed Electronic Money Institution (EMI) by the FMA in August 2026.
Together, the two authorizations position Bybit.eu to progressively bring crypto-asset services, e-money and payment capabilities together through a single platform experience for European customers, while paving the path for future capabilities including investing and savings with Bybit EU's expanding regulatory regime.
Bybit's presence at Web Summit reflects the company's evolution from a crypto-first exchange into a comprehensive financial platform spanning markets, payments, spending, wealth and intelligent financial services.
