Bybit requires KYC verification before you can trade and charges around 0.10% on its taker fee. It scores 62.1/100 on the CompareCEX Score (82% of criteria verified), which suits more experienced users who've already weighed the trade-offs, rather than first-time beginners. As a custodial platform, it holds your funds until you withdraw, so its security track record and regulation below matter as much as its fees. Check the fee table, KYC and country availability, and security sections below before you decide — exchange terms change without notice and we re-verify data periodically rather than in real time, so always confirm against the source links.
