Bybit Launches Send Money in a Bid for Mainstream Users

Bybit launches its new "Send Money" feature to simplify peer-to-peer cash transfers, targeting mainstream users for enhanced convenience in cryptocurrency transactions.

As cryptocurrencies continue to gain traction in mainstream finance, Bybit is making a significant move to attract everyday users.
