In a significant move that brings cryptocurrency closer to mainstream adoption, Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has launched its payment system globally. Called Bybit Pay, this innovative solution transforms how people can use digital currencies in their daily lives, making crypto payments as straightforward as traditional banking methods.
After a successful initial launch in Brazil in January 2025, where it was showcased at Web Summit Rio, Bybit Pay is now available to the company’s extensive user base of over 70 million people worldwide. The expansion marks an important milestone in Bybit’s mission to increase financial inclusion and provide alternatives to traditional banking systems.
“Bybit is proud to play a role in advancing payment innovation with the global launch of Bybit Pay,” said Krista Chan, Head of Marketing for the Payment Business Unit at Bybit. “It provides our users with an ultra user-friendly solution for their daily crypto spending and transaction needs, while Bybit gets to serve the broader community and bring more payment freedom and convenience to the underbanked.”
The new payment system has hit the ground running, processing more than 40,000 transactions within days of its global release. Users can now make payments across a worldwide network of merchants, both online and in physical stores, using just their mobile devices – no physical cards or traditional banking intermediaries required.

Bybit Pay currently supports 15 mainstream cryptocurrencies, giving users flexibility in how they manage their digital assets. The supported currencies include popular options like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, which maintain a value equivalent to the US dollar.
The payment platform introduces two key features that simplify the process of transferring digital assets:
- Bybit Pay Send allows users to transfer cryptocurrencies instantly to businesses or individuals using only the recipient’s email address, phone number, or Bybit User ID. This works both in the app and on Bybit’s website.
- Bybit Pay Receive enables users to accept payments through a unique personal QR code that can be customized according to their preferences, including specific amounts or currencies.
Security remains a top priority for the platform. Bybit Pay integrates robust wallet management functionalities for both traditional currencies (fiat) and cryptocurrencies. The system is built with blockchain-backed security measures that ensure transactions are tamper-proof through on-chain encryption, optimizing both security and user privacy.
One of the most appealing aspects of Bybit Pay is the speed of transactions. By leveraging the instant finality of cryptocurrencies, the platform offers a seamless experience for both sending and receiving digital assets, eliminating the delays often associated with traditional banking systems.
“Bybit Send & Earn” Promotion
To celebrate the global launch, Bybit has announced a promotional campaign called “Bybit Send & Earn.” Running until May 30, eligible users who register for the promotion can share in a total prize pool of 100,000 USDT, providing an additional incentive for people to try the new payment system.
The service is currently available to global users who have successfully completed Identity Verification on Bybit, though users from Service Restricted Countries or local Bybit entities are not currently supported.
This development comes at a time when interest in cryptocurrency payments is growing worldwide. By removing barriers to entry and simplifying the user experience, Bybit Pay has the potential to introduce millions of people to the benefits of digital currencies, particularly in regions where traditional banking services are limited or inaccessible.
As cryptocurrency continues to evolve from a speculative investment to a practical medium of exchange, services like Bybit Pay play a crucial role in bridging the gap between traditional finance and the emerging digital economy. For everyday users who might have been intimidated by the complexity of cryptocurrency, Bybit Pay offers a straightforward entry point into this new financial ecosystem.
