DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced an emergency humanitarian contribution to support communities affected by the devastating floods across Southeast Asia, with a primary focus on Sri Lanka—one of the hardest-hit countries following Cyclone Ditwah.

Over the past week, torrential rains and cyclone-driven winds have led to catastrophic flooding across Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. The disaster has claimed more than 420 lives across the region, including 123 lives lost in Sri Lanka, with tens of thousands displaced and critical infrastructure severely damaged.

In response to this unprecedented crisis, Bybit is in touch with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) to donate $100,000 in support of relief operations, emergency shelters, and essential supplies for affected families. This collaboration ensures that assistance reaches those who need it most and aligns with national priorities during this critical moment.

"Our hearts are with the people of Sri Lanka and the wider South Asian region during this time of immense loss," said Nazar Tymoshchuk, Bybit's Mini-Global Regional Manager. "As communities face the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah, we stand in solidarity with them and are committed to contributing to relief and recovery efforts together with credible local partners such as the CBSL."

Sri Lanka alone has seen more than 44,000 people displaced, with widespread landslides, damaged transportation routes, and suspended public services. Rescue efforts continue as authorities race to reach stranded citizens, restore power and communications, and prevent further losses amid continued rainfall forecasts.

Bybit's contribution aims to support immediate necessities including food, clean water, medical aid, temporary housing, and rehabilitation programs. The company reaffirms its long-term dedication to supporting communities globally in times of crisis through meaningful action and collaboration.
