Belarus restores access to Bybit, Bitget and other global crypto exchanges after ad dispute

On December 12, 2025, Belarus reinstated access to major cryptocurrency exchanges including Bybit, Bitget, BingX and OKX after briefly blocking their websites over what authorities described as inappropriate advertising. The move allows local users to reach their accounts again without relying on VPNs, while officials indicated that access would be restored once alleged violations were removed and reaffirmed the country's broader push for a regulated digital asset framework.
