Bybit has confirmed its participation as an official partner at Web Summit 2026, Europe’s largest technology event, taking place from November 9–12 at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal. The exchange said the presence reflects its dual focus on advancing its global technology platform and strengthening its long-term commitment to the European Economic Area.
Bybit’s leadership will appear across multiple stages. Georg Harer, Co-CEO of Bybit EU, will take part in a fireside chat on the MoneyConf stage with CoinDesk’s Nikhilesh De on November 10. Rockman Zhang, Bybit’s CTO, will join the Developer Stage on November 11 for a discussion titled “$1.5 Trillion in Volume: Reengineering a Giant for the AI Era”. The exchange will also host a masterclass on autonomous AI agents in financial markets and an invitation-only leadership roundtable.
The announcement highlights Bybit’s 2026 milestones, including the launch of Bybit AI, access to U.S. stocks and ETFs for eligible users, and a revamped app combining crypto, stocks, macro assets, Earn and Alpha. Bybit EU also reinforced its compliance-first positioning, citing two Austrian authorizations: a MiCAR crypto-asset service provider license from Austria’s Financial Market Authority since May 2025 and an Electronic Money Institution license from August 2026.
