Full review
Bybit EU — full MiCA Austria + high affiliate commissions
Bybit Fintech Limited was founded in 2018 and is one of the largest global crypto exchanges by trading volume ($20B+ per day). On 28 May 2025, Bybit EU GmbH received a full MiCAR licence from the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) and relocated its European headquarters to Vienna, with plans to hire 100+ staff.
Bybit occupies a distinctive position in the Norriwire context: it is the only major global CEX with full MiCA authorisation that offers a broad range of derivatives and altcoins — alongside an aggressive affiliate commission structure (up to 50% lifetime).
Where Bybit excels
The widest derivatives offering in the MiCA space. Bybit provides spot + perpetual futures + options — all accessible across EU member states via passport (with some product-specific variations).
An extensive crypto selection. 1,000+ cryptocurrencies, including smaller altcoins that regulated EU competitors such as Bitpanda and Coinmotion do not support.
Innovative product range:
- Spot trading
- USDT/USDC perpetual futures
- Options
- Earn (staking, savings)
- P2P
- NFT marketplace

MiCA and regulation
Bybit EU GmbH is registered in Vienna, Austria, holding a full MiCAR licence from the Austrian FMA (2025-05-28). The licence permits passporting across all 30 EEA countries.
⚠️ Important note for Norway: Finanstilsynet applies stricter scrutiny to crypto advertising. Norriwire content targeting a NO audience must include additional disclaimers when covering Bybit.
⚠️ Bybit's CEO disclosed in April 2026 that MiCA alone is insufficient for profitability — the company is simultaneously pursuing MiFID II and EMI licences. This points to a further expansion of its product range going forward.
