Bybit EU Debuts Game-Changing MiCA-Compliant Launchpool Featuring XION

Bybit EU just flipped the script—launching Europe's first fully MiCA-regulated crypto Launchpool with XION. Regulatory hurdles? Bulldozed.

Why it matters: While traditional finance still debates 'crypto risks,' Bybit's move proves compliance and innovation aren't mutually exclusive. The EU's landmark Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework finally has its first major test case.

XION gets the spotlight: This isn't just another token launch. XION's infrastructure aims to solve blockchain's notorious fragmentation problem—if regulators don't strangle it with red tape first.

The cynical take: Watch legacy institutions suddenly 'discover' Launchpools now that they're stamped with bureaucratic approval. Where were these guys during DeFi summer?

Bybit adapts to changing EU regulations

On July 1, Bybit has lauched his EU-focused platform, which complies with EU’s MiCA regulations. According to the exchange, MiCA regulations provide much needed regulatory clarity for the firm to expand in this market.

“Recently securing our MiCAR license in Austria represents our commitment and major focus in 2025 to bring compliant, innovative crypto services to European users. Today’s launch with XION, a blockchain focused on mainstream adoption of crypto, demonstrates how regulation can accelerate rather than hinder innovation, and perfectly aligns with our European expansion strategy.” – Mazurka Zeng, CEO of Bybit EU.
