DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced the launch of a new VIP-level reporting service designed to streamline stolen fund inflow case submissions.

This initiative underscores Bybit’s commitment to invest in robust risk control measures and user protection frameworks, reinforcing its vision of building trust and transparency in the crypto economy.
