Important notice: Discontinuation of the Bybit Classic Account

Since the Bybit Unified Trading Account (UTA) launched in July 2022, it has been continuously improved for better reliability and efficiency, even during times of market volatility. With over 99.9% of our users now on the UTA, the Classic Account will be officially discontinued on Oct 31, 2025. Users with a Classic Account must upgrade to the latest version of the UTA by this date.
