Bybit, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, will start phasing out services for Japanese residents in 2026 to align with Japan’s strict regulatory rules. The platform plans gradual account restrictions, including limits on new registrations and trading features, rather than an abrupt shutdown, giving users time to withdraw funds and close positions. The move follows mounting pressure from Japan’s Financial Services Agency, which has tightened oversight of unregistered overseas exchanges.
