Bybit CEO Highlights Crypto Adoption Growth in 2025

Crypto adoption has reached new heights in 2025, according to Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit. In his recent keynote session, Keynote with Ben, he presented data showing that the global crypto ownership rate has increased by 16% throughout the year, reaching a total of 8.7%. This growth is not limited to individual investors, as traditional finance firms have also doubled their onboarding of crypto in 2025.

Bybit's own expansion has been significant, with the company launching new products and growing its user base. The crypto debit card, which enables users to pay with crypto for everyday purchases, recorded over $1 billion in volume and settled around 32 million transactions. Bybit Pay facilitated $360 million in payments.

Looking ahead to 2026, Bybit plans to launch MyBank, a retail banking service that will allow users to hold fiat currency in their accounts and seamlessly convert it to crypto without leaving the app. This move marks an important step towards Bybit's goal of becoming a comprehensive financial platform.
