However, with the crypto exchange struggling with its crumbling empire, <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/binanceus-wants-to-acquire-bankrupt-crypto-lending-platform-voyager/">Binance has started positioning itself</a> to take over the bankrupt cryptocurrency brokerage firm. On the other hand, the cryptocurrency markets continue to suffer price hits, with Bitcoin earlier this week sinking to its lowest level since November 2020.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Bybit Offers Support</p><p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, Bybit, a cryptocurrency exchange with headquarters in Singapore, <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/bybit-supports-crypto-market-makers-with-100m-fund/">launched a $100 million fund</a> on Thursday to support old and new market markers “during this challenging period.” The exchange plans to provide up to $10 million to institutional clients on its platform as well as to dedicated account managers.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“We are all in this together, and it’s up to everyone to do what they can to support our industry, and this is one way we are helping to give back” - <a href="https://twitter.com/benbybit?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@benbybit</a> ????????<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bybit?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bybit</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheCryptoArk?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TheCryptoArk</a> <a href="https://t.co/mX8jW6O3vG">https://t.co/mX8jW6O3vG</a></p>— Bybit (@Bybit_Official) <a href="https://twitter.com/Bybit_Official/status/1595739661942415360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 24, 2022</a></blockquote><p class="MsoNormal">According to the latest data from CoinMarketCap, Bybit, with $389.5 million in crypto spot volume, ranks 11th on the list of the largest crypto exchanges.
