Data suggested that more than ten million Chinese nationals lived outside the country, giving Bybit access to a larger pool of crypto users.
Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has reportedly opened registration and identification verification for Chinese nationals outside the country.
According to reports from Bybit users on June 6, the exchange will allow overseas Chinese nationals to register and trade crypto on the platform. Users can register with a Chinese national ID, but trading crypto as a national based in China was seemingly not permitted.
With a headquarters in Dubai, Bybit is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume, behind Coinbase and Binance. The firm previously pulled out of Canada in response to the regulatory environment but has expanded into other markets, including Kazakhstan and the Netherlands. Cointelegraph reached out to Bybit for comment but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
