Why is Bybit not working?

Most "Bybit is down" reports are the platform slowing during sharp price moves or a brief withdrawal pause under load, as reported during a February 2026 selloff; the February 2025 theft of about $1.5 billion in ETH did not stop withdrawals, which Bybit kept processing throughout.

How long will a pending Bybit order take?

Minutes when it is a blockchain confirmation, hours to days when it is a verification or compliance review. Open a ticket with the order ID rather than resubmitting.

Can I buy crypto today if Bybit is down?

Yes. Anytime Capital is independent of Bybit and its processors. Card and Apple Pay orders confirm in minutes, wires settle the same business day, and the Atlanta branch takes cash. Call (470) 748-2530 if you want someone to walk you through it.

Can I switch from Bybit to Anytime Capital without moving my crypto?

Yes. Withdraw from Bybit to a wallet you control (or leave it there), create an Anytime Capital account, verify once, and paste any wallet address at checkout. Nothing you already hold needs to move.

How does Anytime Capital pricing compare with Bybit?

Anytime Capital quotes one all-in number: card, Apple Pay and Google Pay orders start from 4% with the spread included, and the amount you pay and the crypto you receive are both on screen before you confirm. Bybit prices card purchases are routed through third-party providers whose fees vary by provider, card and country, typically a few percent plus a spread; not available to U.S. customers, with a per-coin withdrawal fee set by Bybit. Blockchain network fees apply at both. Compare the crypto that lands on the same order size rather than the headline rate.

Is Anytime Capital regulated?

Anytime Capital is a U.S.-based money services business registered with FinCEN, serving customers worldwide, with a physical branch in Atlanta and an office in Miami. Identity verification is required before you can transact, the same as at every compliant platform.
