XION, the consumer-first Layer-1 blockchain, today announced it will be the first ever Launchpool project on Bybit’s EU exchange. The partnership follows Bybit’s receipt of its MiCAR license in May 2025 and the rollout of Bybit.eu, enabling verified EEA users to onboard to a fully compliant platform, where they can get yield approved assets to earn XION.
The Launchpool will feature a total pool size of 100,000 XION, distributed as follows:
- 50,000 XION to XION stakers (estimated APR: 60%)
- 30,000 XION to MNT stakers (estimated APR: 36%)
- 20,000 XION to USDC stakers (estimated APR: 24%)
As one of the few Layer-1 projects backed by Circle Ventures, XION has seen strong traction in bringing blockchain-based experiences to everyday users, with over 100+ global brands leveraging its platform. XION has been steadily growing its European presence, as it became the first Layer-1 blockchain to publish a MiCA Title II whitepaper, integrated natively with Paris-based Ledger in June, listed on Bitvavo earlier this summer, and is already working with leading European brands on blockchain-powered consumer experiences.
Similarly, one of Bybit’s main focuses in 2025 is its European expansion. Being the inaugural Launchpool partner on Bybit EU MiCAR-compliant EU platform, XION will have access to a growing regulated European audience.
“Being the very first Launchpool on Bybit EU is a major signal of XION’s deep partnership with Bybit and our shared focus on expanding compliantly in the European markets,” said Anthony Anzalone, Founder of XION. “Europe is now the proving ground for regulated digital assets, and together with Bybit EU we’re setting a precedent for how mainstream audiences can discover and engage with blockchain technology in a safe, intuitive way.”
“Recently securing our MiCAR license in Austria represents our commitment and major focus in 2025 to bring compliant, innovative crypto services to European users. Today’s launch with XION, a blockchain focused on mainstream adoption of crypto, demonstrates how regulation can accelerate rather than hinder innovation, and perfectly aligns with our European expansion strategy.” – Mazurka Zeng, CEO of Bybit EU.
The collaboration also builds on XION’s earlier relationship with Bybit, where the company featured on Bybit Global’s Launchpool during its TGE. The renewed partnership underscores the two companies’ shared commitment to making blockchain accessible to everyday users.
