Bybit has announced its transformation into 'The New Financial Platform,' a global financial ecosystem designed to expand access to modern banking, investment, and payments infrastructure for underserved populations. The vision, unveiled by CEO Ben Zhou, positions the company beyond its cryptocurrency exchange origins into a unified platform connecting crypto, traditional markets, and real-world financial services. At the center is a mission to empower 1.4 billion underbanked people globally by reducing barriers to modern finance participation. A cornerstone initiative is MyBank, targeting launch in February 2026, providing dedicated accounts that simplify fiat on/off-ramps and enable cross-border transactions. The platform leverages AI infrastructure across operations, with adoption already improving engineering productivity by 30%. Bybit will roll out AI4SE targeting 50% efficiency gains, company-wide AI agent networks, and upgraded TradeGPT. Over 2,000 institutions now use Bybit's infrastructure, reflecting 100% year-over-year growth in demand for hybrid financial platforms.
