How to Buy Bitcoin on Bybit: A Beginner's Guide
Five clear steps to buying your first Bitcoin safely on one of the world's largest crypto exchanges.
- Step 1
Create your Bybit account
Sign up with your email or phone and set a strong password. Enable 2FA immediately, use an authenticator app, not SMS.
- Step 2
Complete identity verification (KYC)
Upload a government ID and complete the liveness check. Verified accounts unlock higher deposit and withdrawal limits.
- Step 3
Fund your account
Deposit fiat via supported rails, buy USDT/USDC with a card, or transfer crypto from another wallet or exchange.
- Step 4
Buy Bitcoin
Use the Spot market to place a market or limit order on BTC/USDT. Start with a small position while you learn the interface.
- Step 5
Withdraw to self-custody
For long-term holdings, withdraw to a hardware wallet. Verify the BTC address character-by-character before confirming.
