Editorial note

This review is a launch-draft placeholder — fee figures, regional availability, and the “Open account” link all need to be verified and wired up before this page goes live. affiliateReady: false in the frontmatter is intentional: no affiliate link should render until the Bybit affiliate application is approved.
