Two important updates for Bybit in Malaysia. 1. Bybit has been removed from the Securities Commission Malaysia - Investor Alert List after constructive engagement and alignment with local regulatory expectations. 2. We also recently led funding into Hata, a dual-licensed crypto platform in Malaysia. We believe regulated local infrastructure matters for long-term industry growth and user trust. Malaysia continues to be an important market for crypto adoption in the region. We will keep working with local partners, regulators, and the community to support responsible growth. More to come.

When I first saw Bitcoin addresses back in 2011, they were long strings of characters — confusing and far from human-friendly. As a technical person, I looked past that and began my entrepreneurial journey in the crypto industry. Fifteen years later, as AI agents become increasingly prevalent, I’ve come to a realization: crypto technology may be far better suited for agents than for humans — even if that wasn’t Satoshi’s original intention. Sometimes it even feels like crypto was designed for the AI era. In the near future, everyone will have multiple AI agents, and there will be billions of agents globally. These agents will prefer to operate with cryptocurrency wallets rather than traditional bank accounts. The OKX Agent Payment Protocol (APP) is just the first step. Our vision is to help bring the AI economy to life — and we have many more products coming soon.
