Bybit's H1 2026 report details expanded account protection, 100% on-chain monitoring and AI-assisted threat detection following 2025 security incident

DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has strengthened and expanded its security systems following the February 2025 theft of approximately $1.46 billion in digital assets, moving toward a model designed to detect threats earlier, respond faster and continuously adapt as attackers adopt new techniques, including artificial intelligence.

In its H1 2026 Risk & Security Report, covering January 1 through June 15, Bybit details the operation of three layers of protection: user and account security, real-time on-chain monitoring, and AI-assisted security operations.

The objective is not simply to add more controls, but to create a security system that can continuously learn from emerging threats and reduce the time between detection and intervention.
