Bybit has expanded its Islamic Account with 20 new Shariah-compliant trading pairs, widening the menu of faith-aligned crypto trading options available to eligible users on the exchange. The update adds to a product framework built specifically around Shariah-compliant participation, a category with clear relevance across Muslim-majority Southeast Asian markets like Indonesia and Malaysia.
Bybit adds 20 new Shariah-compliant pairs to its Islamic Account
The exchange said the 20 new pairs are now live within its Islamic Account, according to Bybit’s announcement. The additions sit inside the same account structure Bybit maintains for compliant trading rather than a separate product.

Bybit positions the Islamic Account around Shariah-compliant participation, with tokens vetted through a certification process detailed on its Shariah-compliant hub. The exchange documents how listed assets are screened on its token certification page.
- What changed: Bybit added 20 new Shariah-compliant trading pairs to its Islamic Account.
- Where they sit: The pairs are available inside the existing Islamic Account framework, not a new product.
- Why it matters: A broader compliant selection expands access for Shariah-conscious traders, including in Southeast Asia.
What the expansion means for Shariah-conscious crypto traders
For users who require Shariah-compliant products, a wider pair selection means more assets can be traded without stepping outside the compliance-focused account. Bybit describes eligibility and the mechanics of the offering in its Islamic Subaccount help center entry.

Bybit has previously tied the offering to the MENA region, including an AED-denominated rollout outlined in a regional announcement. That framing signals the account is aimed at users for whom compliance, not just asset choice, drives the decision to trade.
Where this fits in the exchange product race
Specialized account features are one way exchanges differentiate as listings converge. The move echoes the steady stream of targeted trading additions elsewhere, such as Upbit’s addition of NEXO in its USDT market and its EURC trading support, both aimed at broadening what regional users can access.
For Southeast Asian platforms serving observant traders, Bybit’s expansion sets a competitive marker on compliant product depth, a niche local exchanges in Indonesia and Malaysia may weigh against their own offerings. It also lands as Bybit works to rebuild trust following its legal action over the 2025 heist, making product credibility a live concern for the exchange.
