Bybit will cease withdrawal and custody services for French users starting January 8, 2025, due to regulatory pressures from the French financial authority, Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF). This follows previous restrictions on purchasing new products and a history of non-compliance with local regulations. Users are urged to withdraw their funds before the deadline, as unclaimed balances will be transferred to Coinhouse, a regulated custodian, while smaller accounts will incur termination fees.
