🚨 Bybit CEO Says the Era of Crypto-Only Exchanges Is Coming to an End Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit, believes the traditional model of centralized exchanges focused solely on crypto is becoming outdated. As users increasingly want access to multiple financial products in one place, platforms are expanding beyond crypto to offer stocks, gold, forex, payments and savings through a single platform. Bybit recently launched its “Make Your Move” campaign as part of its repositioning toward a broader, all-in-one financial platform. The shift comes as several exchanges scale back their operations, while competitors are moving in the opposite direction. Coinbase, for example, is pursuing its “Everything Exchange” strategy, expanding beyond crypto into stocks and prediction markets. The broader trend is clear: crypto exchanges are increasingly trying to become full-service financial platforms rather than remaining crypto-only venues.
