Bybit is a cryptocurrency exchange, and a withdrawal moves a coin from your exchange balance to a wallet you control or another exchange.
Check access and secure your account
Bybit has left some markets and faced regulatory warnings, so availability and identity rules can change. Confirm it serves your location and finish identity verification before you withdraw. Then turn on two-factor authentication and whitelist the receiving address.
Match the network before withdrawing
A withdrawal travels on a network, and the receiving wallet must use the same one. Many coins run on more than one network. Check the network name in the receiving wallet, then select it on Bybit.
