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 available to Singapore residents. Bybit classifies Singapore as a restricted jurisdiction and blocks local users, and on 17 June 2026 the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) added Bybit Fintech Limited to its Investor Alert List, a public warning that the entity is not regulated by MAS. Because the platform is not available here, this page does not show a compare module for Bybit. Confirm the current position on the MAS registers before acting.
Is the platform available to residents
As of June 2026 Bybit is not available to residents of Singapore. Bybit treats Singapore as a restricted jurisdiction and blocks access for local users, so a Singapore resident cannot open and use a standard Bybit account in the ordinary way.
On 17 June 2026 the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) added Bybit Fintech Limited and its trading platform to its Investor Alert List. The Investor Alert List is a public warning that an entity is not licensed or regulated by MAS and may be wrongly perceived as authorised. Bybit said on 18 June 2026 that it was engaging MAS to understand the basis for the listing. Confirm the current position on the MAS registers (as of June 2026).
The regulator and the framework
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) regulates digital payment token services under the Payment Services Act 2019. To offer these services to the public in Singapore, a provider generally needs a Major Payment Institution licence. Bybit is not on the MAS list of licensed providers as of June 2026.
Being on the MAS Investor Alert List does not by itself allege wrongdoing, but it signals that the named entity is not authorised to provide financial services to Singapore residents and that users would not receive the protections that a MAS licensed platform must provide. Because this position is current and specific, confirm it on the MAS Investor Alert List before acting (as of June 2026).
How residents are affected
Because Bybit blocks Singapore residents, the platform's products are not offered to a Singapore account in the ordinary way, and attempting to use the service through other means would sit outside the platform's own terms and the regulated channel.
If you already hold assets on Bybit and your access changes, follow the platform's guidance on withdrawals and keep records, and consider moving to a platform that is licensed or available in Singapore. Platform policies and a country's restricted status can change, so confirm the current position with Bybit and MAS before acting (as of June 2026).
Tax treatment
Tax on crypto for Singapore residents is administered by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). Singapore does not levy a capital gains tax, so an individual who buys and holds digital payment tokens for the long term is generally not taxed on a gain when selling, while income from trading as a business or receiving tokens as payment can be taxable. This page does not give tax advice. For how crypto is treated in Singapore in general terms, see the Singapore tax page, and confirm your own position with a qualified local professional before filing (as of June 2026).
Bybit is not available to Singapore residents, so no Bybit compare module is shown here. Several providers are available in Singapore, including Crypto.com, which holds a MAS licence. Compare the exchanges that are genuinely available in Singapore.
