DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced the appointment of Peter Loo as its new Chief Legal & Compliance Officer. With over 25 years of cross-jurisdictional experience spanning investment banks, regulators, law firms, and digital asset institutions, Peter will lead Bybit's global legal, regulatory, and compliance strategy as the company continues its evolution into a fully integrated, regulated financial platform.
Peter brings a rare combination of regulatory insight and commercial execution, having operated across major financial centres including the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. His appointment underscores Bybit's commitment to strengthening its regulatory architecture and aligning with global standards as it expands its footprint across multiple jurisdictions.
Prior to joining Bybit, Peter served as General Counsel & Head of Sector Development at Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), where he played a foundational role in shaping one of the world's most advanced virtual asset regulatory regimes. He led the development of licensing frameworks, market conduct policies, and enforcement protocols, while working closely with international exchanges, custodians, and institutional players to establish Dubai as a global hub for digital assets.
Peter has held senior roles across leading financial institutions including Barclays Capital, and MF Global, where he advised on complex derivatives, structured products, and cross-border regulatory frameworks. He also served as EMEA Head of Legal & Compliance at Amber Group, overseeing regulatory expansion and product structuring across Europe and the Middle East.
His experience spans the full lifecycle of financial innovation—from traditional derivatives and fund structuring to digital assets and tokenisation—making him uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between legacy finance and emerging Web3 ecosystems.
At Bybit, Peter will oversee the development of a robust, globally aligned compliance framework, supporting the company's ambition to deliver a seamless "single access point" to financial services—spanning trading, payments, custody, and asset management—within a regulated and sustainable structure.
"Peter brings a depth of experience that is both rare and highly relevant to where Bybit is headed. Having worked across regulators, global financial institutions, and Web3 platforms, he understands not only how rules are written, but also how they are applied in practice across jurisdictions," said Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit. "As we continue to build Bybit into a new financial platform, one that connects crypto and traditional finance in a structured and compliant way. Peter's leadership will be critical in strengthening our regulatory foundations and ensuring we scale responsibly on a global level."
Peter's appointment marks a key milestone in Bybit's ongoing transformation from a high-growth crypto exchange into a mature, globally recognised financial platform. His mandate will include enhancing internal governance, advancing licensing efforts in priority markets, and fostering constructive engagement with regulators worldwide.
"The opportunity at Bybit is to help shape what a truly global, regulated digital financial platform can look like. The industry is entering a phase where credibility, structure, and regulatory alignment are no longer optional," added Peter Loo, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer at Bybit.
"Bybit has built strong momentum, and my focus is on reinforcing that with the right frameworks, processes, and engagement models so that we can operate in a way that meets the expectations of both regulators and institutional participants globally."

Bybit Appoints Peter Loo as Chief Legal & Compliance Officer to Advance Global Regulatory Strategy
As part of its Breathe & Breastfeed campaign, Momcozy is expanding access to trusted, expert lactation support during National Breastfeeding Month.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of National Breastfeeding Month, Momcozy, a global maternal care brand dedicated to supporting mothers through every stage of their journey, today announced the launch of The Lactation Line — a free, 24/7 breastfeeding support service connecting mothers directly with International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) from August 1–14.
Recognizing that expert support can make all the difference, Momcozy created The Lactation Line to ensure mothers have direct access to certified lactation consultants whenever questions or challenges arise. At a time when many parents turn to online searches or digital tools for answers, The Lactation Line offers something different: direct, one-on-one conversations with certified lactation consultants who provide personalized, compassionate guidance tailored to each family's unique needs.
"Every breastfeeding journey is different, but one thing remains consistent: mothers deserve timely, compassionate support from someone who will truly listen," said Melissa Kotlen, RN, IBCLC, Clinical Manager at Momcozy. "The Lactation Line connects women directly with certified lactation consultants who can provide personalized, evidence-based guidance exactly when it's needed most. Sometimes mothers don't need another article or another search result — they simply need someone they can trust to help them navigate the moment they're in."
The Lactation Line supports mothers through every stage of their breastfeeding journey, offering personalized guidance on everything from latch challenges and milk supply concerns to pumping, combination feeding, returning to work, weaning and the many questions that arise in between.
Alongside Melissa Kotlen, RN, IBCLC, Clinical Manager at Momcozy, The Lactation Line is staffed by a team of eleven experienced International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) whose backgrounds span nursing, public health, nutrition, postpartum care, health education and maternal-infant care. Together, they bring decades of experience supporting families in hospitals, NICUs, community settings and virtual care, providing compassionate, evidence-based guidance for every stage of the breastfeeding journey.
"Breastfeeding is one of the most vulnerable times in a woman's life. There is so much information available, and it can be challenging to know what guidance is right for you," said Heidi Postier, RN, IBCLC, one of the International Board Certified Lactation Consultants supporting Momcozy's Lactation Line. "Through Momcozy's Lactation Line, I'm able to provide real-time support to new mothers and hopefully make motherhood a little bit easier."
The Lactation Line reflects Momcozy's broader commitment to supporting mothers beyond products alone. As part of its Breathe & Breastfeed campaign and 600 Hours of Support initiative, the brand is expanding access to expert guidance through educational webinars, one-on-one consultations, community partnerships and the Momcozy Breastfeeding Support Hub — all designed to help mothers feel informed, confident and supported throughout their breastfeeding journey.
Momcozy's commitment to supporting mothers also extends to product innovation. Guided by its CozyTech philosophy, the brand believes technology should adapt to mothers — not ask mothers to adapt to it. CozyTech begins by understanding the real challenges mothers experience every day, then applies thoughtful design and practical technology to help reduce discomfort, uncertainty and the mental load of motherhood.
This philosophy is reflected across Momcozy's product portfolio. Pumping can feel cold, mechanical and physically demanding, particularly when mothers are already tired or experiencing discomfort. The Wellness1 Warm-Massage Wearable Breast Pump was designed in response, combining warming technology, synchronized massage and a soft, adjustable wearable design to help make pumping more comfortable while delivering powerful, hands-free performance. By making pumping feel less mechanical and easier to fit into everyday life, the W1 helps mothers spend less energy managing the pumping experience and more time focusing on feeding their babies.
Cleaning bottles, pump parts and feeding accessories is another repetitive, time-consuming task that often comes after an already exhausting day. The Momcozy DeepClean Bottle Washer (D8) was designed to reduce that burden by washing, sterilizing and drying multiple bottles and pump parts in a single cycle, while targeted water flow is engineered to reach narrow and difficult-to-clean areas. By reducing manual cleaning steps, the D8 helps simplify everyday feeding routines and gives parents more time to focus on what matters most.
Momcozy's commitment to supporting mothers extends far beyond National Breastfeeding Month. Through its year-long 600 Hours of Support initiative, the brand continues to expand access to expert guidance, educational resources and thoughtfully designed products that help mothers feel informed, confident and supported throughout their breastfeeding journey.
The Lactation Line is one more way Momcozy is turning that commitment into meaningful action — ensuring families have access to trusted, expert support when they need it most.
