Bybit officially launched Bybit Indonesia on July 15, making its formal entry into one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing digital asset markets. The platform went live with over 500 trading pairs and operates under the supervision of Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority, known as OJK.
The NOBI acquisition play
Rather than spending years navigating Indonesia’s licensing process, Bybit acquired a majority stake in PT Enkripsi Teknologi Handal in 2025. You might know that entity by its previous name: NOBI, a local crypto platform that already held the regulatory credentials Bybit needed.
The leadership team reinforces that continuity strategy. Lawrence Samantha serves as CEO and Dionisius Evan as COO, both formerly of NOBI.
At launch, Bybit Indonesia is concentrating on spot trading and crypto conversions. Bybit has also taken a cautious approach by not introducing any new tokens specific to the launch.
