Bybit EU launched its European headquarters in Vienna with an event at METAstadt, which brought together over 250 guests from the fintech, policy, academic, and blockchain sectors.

Mazurka Zeng, CEO of Bybit EU, presented her Vienna-based team alongside Bybit’s Board of Directors during the event.
“We chose Vienna because it offers clarity, stability, and a thriving ecosystem. This event is about building real, lasting connections with Europe’s crypto community,” said Zeng.
Ben Zhou, CEO and Co-founder of Bybit, delivered a keynote speech emphasizing the company’s European expansion goals.
“Bybit EU is about setting a new standard — not just in Austria, but across Europe. We’re here to build, together,” said Zhou.
Government support and industry attendance
Austria’s State Secretary for Finance, Barbara Eibinger-Miedl, welcomed the expansion during the event.
“The decision by Bybit to establish itself in Austria once again demonstrates that our country offers excellent conditions for international FinTechs – from clear regulatory frameworks and modern digital infrastructure to an innovation-friendly environment. Austria positioned itself early on as a pioneer in implementing the MiCAR regulation and is now one of the most attractive FinTech locations in Europe. As the State Secretary for Finance, it is my goal to further strengthen this competitive advantage,” said Eibinger-Miedl.
The event included networking activities and featured notable attendees, including Georg Brameshuber from Validvent, Walter Mösenbacher from DAAA, Alfred Taudes from WU Wien, Ed Prinz from DLT, Bjorn Declerck from Tomorrowland, Christian Rau from Mastercard, Attila Dogudan from DO&CO, and Martin Hanzl from EY.
