JUST IN: @Bybit_Official set to launch a MiCAR-compliant crypto-trading platform in Vienna, Austria, and across 29 EEA countries. pic.twitter.com/QuHHHtmJJC — Cryptopolitan (@CPOfficialtx) July 1, 2025 Bybit.eu will be operated under Bybit EU GmbH, a fully licensed Crypto-Asset Service Provider under the current MiCA regulations. The launch of a European platform is a milestone for Bybit, which already has a significant global presence. ‘ Bybit.eu is our long-term commitment to Europe, ’ said Mazurka Zeng, managing director and CEO of Bybit EU GmbH. ‘ Europe deserves a world-class crypto gateway that balances technology with robust regulatory standards. That’s exactly what Bybit EU delivers. ’ The market operator will have its headquarters in Vienna, Austria, and will branch out to 29 potential markets, offering crypto access to over 450M Europeans. Currently, the EU market is fragmented, with smaller local platforms and additional access to some of the larger market operators. A full MiCAR license also means no surprising shocks to trading, and a certainty that all traded crypto assets have passed the compliance requirements. Bybit tailors its services to European users The new trading platform is compliant with all requirements for investor protection, transparent reporting, and capital reserves. Bybit.eu offers a brokerage service with deep liquidity from multiple partnering markets. The European site taps the available liquidity from multiple sources, tapping tools backed by Bybit’s global scale. The platform will also be localized in several major European languages. Support will be available 24/7 with live assistance in English, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish, with upcoming rollouts in German, French, Italian, and Romanian. The company will also open regional offices in several European countries. Bybit.eu will also offer VIP accounts for high-volume traders, crypto custody, and reward and incentive programs, all of which are compliant with EU requirements. The products will be available to all EEA markets except for Malta. Bybit to tap local blockchain talent Bybit aims to build on Europe’s wider acceptance of crypto. The platform will invest in local communities and tap EU-based talent. Bybit.eu aims to serve as a trusted partner for blockchain developers, institutions, and end users. The exchange aims to help Europe shape the future of digital finance. Bybit has stated it aims to become a catalyst for wider crypto adoption in Europe. The European platform will exist as a separate entity, as Bybit currently runs a signup campaign. For now, European users can still access their global program accounts, but some are calling to create special new accounts on Bybit.eu . Existing users can use their current global Bybit identity to register and prepare to fulfill the KYC requirements. Current Bybit traders from the EU are advised to close all positions and prepare to transfer to the new platform, which will separate EU-based traders from the global platform.

DDC Enterprise, best known for its Asian food brands, has entered the big leagues. With a half-billion-dollar war chest and heavyweight backers, the company is making an audacious play to dominate corporate Bitcoin holdings. In a press release on July 1, NYSE-listed DDC Enterprise announced the initial closing of its $528 million capital raise, backed by institutional heavyweights including Anson Funds, Animoca Brands, and Kenetic Capital. The financing marks one of the largest Bitcoin ( BTC )-dedicated raises by a publicly traded company and includes a mix of convertible notes, private placements, and an equity line of credit, all earmarked for aggressive BTC accumulation. The move puts DDC on a radically different path from most consumer-facing companies. It also cements its position as one of the few public firms outside of tech or crypto sectors to aggressively restructure around Bitcoin.

Perhaps most strategically significant is the $200 million equity line of credit, giving DDC dry powder to accumulate Bitcoin opportunistically during market dips. This isn’t just treasury diversification; it’s a full-scale financial pivot. While DDC maintains its Asian food brands like DayDayCook and Yai’s Thai, its balance sheet is being radically reshaped. The company’s previous announcement in June made its ambitions clear: “Substantially all of the capital raise will be dedicated to expanding the Company’s Bitcoin treasury.” CEO Norma Chu’s vision leaves little room for ambiguity: “This maximum aggregate $528 million capital commitment marks a watershed moment for DDC. With premier institutions such as Anson Funds, Animoca Brands, and Kenetic Capital backing our vision, we believe we have unprecedented capacity to execute our mission of building one of the world’s most valuable corporate Bitcoin treasuries and becoming a top global Bitcoin holder.” DDC’s bet hinges on Bitcoin’s long-term appreciation outpacing traditional investments. With spot ETFs funneling institutional money into BTC and the 2024 halving historically preceding bull cycles, DDC’s timing aligns with a macro narrative gaining Wall Street credence. Yet risks loom: regulatory uncertainty, Bitcoin’s volatility, and the specter of illiquidity if markets swing erratically.
