Bybit Locked My Funds After Small Crypto Withdrawals
I have had a verified account on the Bybit exchange for more than 3 years. After not using the account for a long time, I recently made only 5 small withdrawal transactions, each worth approximately 10–20 USDT. Other than these transactions, there was no unusual or heavy activity on my account.
On 04/10/2026, I received an email from Bybit stating that my account had been frozen due to “suspicious activity detected.” Since that date, my account has been completely blocked, I cannot perform any transactions, and I have no access to my balance of approximately 580 USDT. Neither the email nor any later communication provided any concrete explanation regarding what this alleged suspicious activity actually was.
When I contacted the support team, I was only told that I needed to wait and that I should not “interfere” with the ongoing review process. However, no clear timeline was provided regarding how long the investigation would take. Despite all this time passing, both my account and my balance are still unfairly restricted, and no reasonable explanation has been shared.
I do not find it acceptable that a long-standing verified account with a clean history can be left in uncertainty for such a long period simply because of a few small withdrawal transactions. My request to Bybit is either that my account be fully restored immediately or, at the very least, that my approximately 580 USDT balance be urgently released. If the review process is going to continue, I also request that a clear and reasonable timeframe be provided to me in writing.
My ByBit account was closed, but I was able to withdraw my 580 USDT balance within 120 hours. The withdrawal went smoothly, but my account is still closed. The support team only sent template messages and I had to wait more than 30 days. I was not satisfied with this process.
