Is Bybit available in Indonesia?
Bybit is not on the list of platforms licensed by Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK), so it is not authorised to serve Indonesian residents. The Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) has blocked access to several unlicensed foreign exchanges including Bybit. The regulator is the OJK. The compliant route for residents is an OJK licensed local exchange, and you should verify the current position before acting.
Information, not advice. This is general information, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Verify the current rules with a qualified local professional and the official regulator before acting.
How we checked this. We set this status by reading the platform's own terms of use and country eligibility, and the public register kept by the named regulator, then dated the result. Availability can change, so confirm directly with the platform and the regulator before acting. As of 26 June 2026.
As of June 2026, Bybit is not registered to serve residents of Indonesia. Indonesia requires crypto trading to run through locally licensed traders supervised by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and Bybit is not on the OJK whitelist of 29 licensed platforms published in December 2025. The Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) has also blocked access to unlicensed foreign exchanges including Bybit. Crypto remains legal to trade through licensed local platforms, so residents who want a compliant route use an OJK licensed exchange rather than the global Bybit site.
Availability for Indonesian residents
As of 9 June 2026, Bybit is not on the list of crypto traders licensed by the Financial Services Authority, Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK), which took over crypto supervision from Bappebti on 10 January 2025. Indonesian rules require crypto trading to be conducted through locally licensed traders, so an unlicensed foreign platform is not authorised to serve residents directly.
In December 2025 the OJK published a whitelist of 29 licensed digital financial asset and crypto platforms. It is dominated by local exchanges such as Indodax, Pintu, Tokocrypto, Reku, and Pluang, along with Upbit Indonesia. Bybit does not appear on that list. In July 2024 the Ministry of Communication, then Kominfo and now Komdigi, also blocked social media accounts of unlicensed foreign platforms including Bybit, and some local internet providers restrict access to the Bybit website.
The position is that residents who want to trade compliantly should use a locally licensed exchange that supports rupiah, not the global Bybit platform. Confirm the current status with the OJK and the platform directly before acting.
Access, KYC, and the local route
Indonesia treats crypto as a digital financial asset that is legal to trade but not legal as a means of payment, because Bank Indonesia recognises only the rupiah as legal tender. Trading must run through a locally licensed trader, where identity verification (know your customer, or KYC) is required in line with anti money laundering obligations.
Bybit is a custodial platform, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. It offers spot trading and higher risk products such as derivatives. Because Bybit is not locally licensed, it does not provide a compliant rupiah on ramp to Indonesian residents through local bank integration. The licensed local exchanges support rupiah deposits and apply Indonesian tax handling on eligible trades. For how crypto is taxed, see the Indonesia tax section below.
How crypto is taxed in Indonesia
Indonesia taxes crypto. The tax authority is the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) under the Ministry of Finance. A small final income tax applies to crypto sales conducted on locally licensed exchanges, reported at about 0.21 percent after the 2025 reforms, and licensed local platforms typically withhold it at source. Users who trade on foreign platforms that are not locally licensed are generally responsible for reporting themselves. Treatment depends on your circumstances, so confirm with the DJP or a qualified adviser. See the Indonesia crypto tax page. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 9 June 2026).
Bybit is not licensed in Indonesia, so we do not link it here. These pages cover the locally licensed exchanges that are genuinely available, including OJK supervised platforms such as Indodax, Pintu, and Tokocrypto.
