Even with ongoing political disputes and challenges in the global economy, the crypto market still shows plenty of growth potential. In September, many major coins moved upward, with BNB standing out the most. For example, anyone who invested just a few hundred thousand rubles in Binance Coin back in 2017 is already a dollar millionaire today.
If you believe it’s too late to enter crypto, you’re wrong – the main opportunities are still ahead. To buy and trade safely, you need a trustworthy, non-sanctioned exchange. That’s why we recommend opening a Bybit account. The platform ranks second on CoinMarketCap by trading volume and, unlike Binance, remains accessible for Russian traders. Bybit also offers an impressive toolkit for both active trading and passive income. In this guide, we’ll explain step by step how to register on Bybit and start trading.

How to Create a Bybit Account – Step-by-Step
To create an account, type into a search engine: “Bybit exchange official site registration,” or simply follow the link.
At the first step, you need to enter your email or mobile number and a referral code (if you have one), solve the captcha, and click the registration button. The exchange will send you a confirmation code; you’ll need to enter it in the pop-up window and then create a login password. It must be at least 8 characters long and include lowercase and uppercase letters and special characters (@ + $ or similar). The longer and more complex the password, the better (just don’t forget to write it down on paper). Why make life easier for hackers? After that, registration is complete, and you can log in to your account.
In some cases, the Bybit account creation form may include a location field. You’ll need to specify the country you currently live in. You can also register with Google or Apple accounts and link a Telegram account.
Islamic account
If you are Muslim, click the “Islamic account” button in the site footer to create an account that adheres to your religious norms.

Registration in the mobile app follows the same steps as on the website. You can download the Bybit trading app for smartphones from Google Play and the App Store, as well as from the official Bybit website.
You can access the app or website without a VPN; the service administration does not recommend using apps that mask your real IP. When registering by phone number, the SMS may be delayed or not arrive at all. Delivery speed depends on your mobile operator, and the confirmation code is valid for only 5 minutes from the moment it’s sent, so it’s better to choose registration via email.
Identity Verification (KYC) and Account Levels
After completing your Bybit sign up and logging in, you’ll immediately be asked to verify your identity. Without verification, the account is practically unusable – you won’t be able to get a deposit address, trade, or access Bybit Earn products. Registration is only the first step. To unlock the full potential of the exchange, confirm your identity, just as you would on most top crypto platforms.
Standard verification is quite simple:
- Indicate your citizenship.
- Choose the document type (passport, driver’s license, ID card).
- Upload photos of the required document pages and take a selfie.
- Complete the dynamic face check by following the instructions.
You’ll need a webcam to submit document photos, a selfie, and for the face check. If your computer doesn’t have one, switch to the smartphone app. For the face check, exchange staff do not connect to your webcam; a shaded oval will appear on the screen. Align your face with the oval, and then you’ll see a prompt to perform a few simple actions—for example, turn your head right-left, smile, or raise your eyebrows. The procedure is brief. As soon as the exchange confirms you are who you say you are, standard verification will be complete.
Usually the results are reported very quickly, but sometimes the process takes longer. If everything is in order, you immediately become a full client of the exchange. If you’re rejected, find out the reason, fix it, and try verification again.
There is also advanced verification, which requires proof of address. It’s optional, but it increases your withdrawal limits and grants additional benefits. Detailed information on KYC levels is available in Bybit’s help section.
Common Registration Errors and How to Fix Them
Keep in mind that not all mobile carriers successfully receive SMS from Bybit. If the confirmation code doesn’t arrive, use email instead. Issues can also appear if you’re trying to register with a VPN enabled – disable it or change the server.
Problems can also arise if you submit blurry photos for KYC, try the dynamic face check in poor lighting, or forget to remove a head covering or dark glasses before the check. If you fail identity verification, find out why, fix the issue, and try again.
How to Secure Your Account After Registration
Bybit is one of the most reliable exchanges, but if a client doesn’t follow recommended security measures, their funds could be stolen. A password alone is not enough.
To increase your account security, enable Google Authenticator and two-step verification via Email & SMS. Also create an anti-phishing code, a whitelist of addresses, and a fund password. You can verify the authenticity of Bybit sources (phone numbers, email addresses, and URLs) on the verifier page.

How to Get Sign-Up Bonuses On Bybit
Bybit gives welcome rewards to all new clients. When you register and pass L1 verification, you’ll receive 20 USDT to your bonus account. To get more, deposit at least 100 USDT and start trading.
Bybit also rewards new users with bonuses. These funds can cover trading fees, margin for futures, or even offset losses. While the bonus USDT itself isn’t withdrawable, all profit earned from it belongs entirely to you. There are also referral bonuses available when you invite friends. Full details can be found in Bybit’s official Help Center.
Conclusion
We’ve explained how to create a new Bybit account. Whether you should do it is up to you, but it’s unlikely you’ll find a more reliable and convenient service for working with cryptocurrency.
