Taxes differ by jurisdiction. In the UK, keep a record of every transaction you make while you secure your wallet: date, amount, fee, and counterparty. Most local tax offices accept a simple spreadsheet.

Most users in the UK follow the same path: create the account, verify identity, then choose a funding method that matches your local currency. The sections below break each step into small actions you can complete in one sitting.

Fees are the part most people skip. Bybit publishes a fee schedule that changes by market, order type, and volume. Before you secure your wallet, read the current schedule so the cost is predictable, not a surprise.

Withdrawals deserve a dry run. Send a small amount first, confirm the network, and check the address character by character. A single wrong character is the most common cause of lost funds.
