In this Bybit sign up and KYC tutorial for 2026, I walk you through the exact steps I use to create a new account, verify identity, lock down security, and get you ready for your first deposit and trade. To land on the same page I’m using, I tell you to tap the link in the description and make sure the referral field shows bonus 8888 (type it manually if it’s not autofilled). I also cover the prep that saves you headaches—have your ID or passport ready, use a bright room for the selfie, and make sure your account name matches your documents exactly. After the account is created, I go straight into protection: enabling two-factor authentication with an authenticator app, backing up recovery codes offline, and setting an anti-phishing code so you can spot fake emails fast. Then I show the KYC flow step-by-step (document upload + liveness/selfie check) and what to do if you get rejected. Finally, I explain how the Rewards Hub works: the headline bonus can be huge (sometimes over $30,000), but eligibility, tasks, and reward types depend on your region and the active campaign—often it’s trading credits, not instantly withdrawable cash. I finish with beginner mistakes to avoid (phishing, wrong networks/memos, password reuse, and leverage without a plan).
