## About

Cryptocurrency exchange specializing in derivatives, spot trading, and Web3 services

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community reports since February 2026 showing a region-block notice that prevents registration. The team contacted the company in April 2026, and after an automated acknowledgment the company sent a substantive reply that month declining to restore access, citing compliance and regulatory obligations and stating the restriction cannot be lifted on an individual basis. No further progress.

## Official timeline

- 2026-04-13 — Declined. Bybit's support team responded to the unblocking request via support@bybit.com with a substantive human response. The response explicitly stated that Bybit services are currently not available in Syria as a restricted jurisdiction, implemented in accordance with compliance obligations and regulatory requirements. The representative confirmed that these limitations cannot be overridden on an individual basis and are part of broader legal and regulatory frameworks. The response noted the feedback would be shared with the relevant team but offered no indication that a policy change is under consideration.
- 2026-04-11 — Company Responded. Bybit's support team responded to the unblocking request via an automated email from support@bybit.com. The response confirmed receipt and assigned case number 24869468, with an estimated response time of 5 to 7 business days. No specific acknowledgment of the Syria access issue was provided. The response appears to be an automated acknowledgment rather than a human review.
- 2026-04-11 — Contacted Company. Official outreach email sent to compliance@bybit.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions under the current OFAC and BIS framework.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-13 — Evidence Added. Community report: User from Syria reports Bybit homepage opens without VPN, but displays a banner saying "Sorry, Bybit services are not available in your region." Syria is not in the list of countries for account creation.

- 2026-02-01 — Evidence Added. Community testing documented that Bybit is blocked in Syria. Attempting to register on the platform from a Syrian IP displays a restriction notice stating that the user's IP address is from one of Bybit's restricted regions. The block prevents account creation and access to trading features.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
