Standing Out Among Industry Leaders<\/h2>\n

Receiving the Bybit Institutional Broker Market Leadership Award is particularly meaningful as Finestel stood out among many well-known and respected competitors in the institutional digital asset space. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and client-centric service delivery in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency and digital asset management landscape.<\/p>\n

The award ceremony was part of an evening that brought together key Bybit executives, global regulators, banking partners, liquidity providers<\/a>, and institutional clients for a forward-looking dialogue on the evolution of digital markets. The recognition places Finestel among an elite group of industry leaders who are shaping the future of institutional digital finance.<\/p>\n

A Milestone Event for Institutional Digital Finance<\/h2>\n

The Bybit Institutional Gala served as a pivotal gathering for the digital asset industry, coming at a transformative moment as Bybit solidifies its position following the recent acquisition of its full Virtual Asset Platform Operator (VAPO) license from the UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) and its MiCAR license across the entire European Economic Area (EEA).<\/p>\n

During the event, Ben Zhou emphasized the industry’s shift toward an integrated and institution-ready market structure, highlighting how Bybit’s unique retail ecosystem, with over 1.8 million cards issued across 13 regions in its first year, increasingly fuels superior pricing and execution for institutional clients like Finestel.<\/p>\n

“Institutions are choosing Bybit because they want certainty, certainty of liquidity, certainty of compliance, and certainty of performance,” stated Ben Zhou during his opening address, underscoring the very principles that drive Finestel’s partnership approach.<\/p>\n

The Evolution of Institutional Digital Markets<\/h3>\n

The evening’s program featured compelling insights into the future of capital markets, with discussions moderated by Dimitrios Psarrakis, Head of Global Affairs at Bybit, alongside European regulators and representatives from major financial institutions including Standard Chartered Bank. These conversations highlighted a clear industry shift: traditional finance and digital assets are no longer parallel tracks but converging systems built on shared principles of transparency, efficiency, and institutional-grade governance.<\/p>\n
