Bybit EU has launched its first MiCA-compliant Launchpool in collaboration with XION, a blockchain project focused on mainstream adoption of crypto. The rewards pool is worth $110,000 and is available to European Economic Area users. The Launchpool allows users to lock up tokens and stake them for a set period to earn rewards. XION tokens will yield a 60% APR, while Mantle and USDC will yield 36% and 24% APR, respectively.

Bybit EU, the newly established European entity dedicated to serving clients across the European Economic Area (EEA), has announced the launch of its first MiCA-compliant Launchpool in collaboration with XION, a blockchain project focused on mainstream adoption of crypto. The rewards pool, valued at $110,000, is available to European Economic Area users.

The Launchpool, which goes live on 14th August 2025, allows users to lock up tokens and stake them for a set period to earn rewards. The pool features a total size of 100,000 XION tokens, distributed as follows:

- 50,000 XION tokens to XION stakers, with an estimated Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 60%.
- 30,000 XION tokens to MNT stakers, with an estimated APR of 36%.
- 20,000 XION tokens to USDC stakers, with an estimated APR of 24%.

The partnership builds on XION's MiCA-aligned compliance leadership and its prior involvement in Bybit Global's Launchpool during its Token Generation Event (TGE). Bybit EU's MiCAR license, secured in May 2025, enables the platform to offer fully compliant services to European users.

Anthony Anzalone, Founder of XION, commented, "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. 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."

Mazurka Zheng, CEO of Bybit EU, added, "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."

The collaboration underscores the two companies' shared commitment to making blockchain accessible to everyday users. About XION, the first walletless Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for consumer adoption, it utilizes protocol-level implementations to empower developers to build secure, intuitive, and seamless user experiences.

Bybit EU GmbH, a licensed Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), delivers fully regulated services, including crypto custody, exchange, and rewards products, in full compliance with European regulations for investor protection and market integrity.
