Bybit publishes a deposit FAQ explaining why an on-chain deposit can be delayed — confirmations, memo errors, credit limits — and that pending assets wait for credit confirmation. It does not publish its AML thresholds, and neither will we. What you can settle before the transfer is where the funds came from: a check of the sending address returns a verdict with the reason named, free in the Telegram bot, three checks a day.

Bybit's help centre carries an FAQ on on-chain crypto deposits which describes why a deposit may not appear immediately: the network confirmations it is waiting for, memo or tag errors on networks that require one, and deposit credit limits, with pending assets waiting for credit confirmation — Bybit deposit FAQ.
That is the published position and the extent of what we describe. Bybit does not publish the thresholds or logic of its compliance controls, and any page that claims to know them is guessing with your money. The useful conclusion from their FAQ is narrower and more practical: a deposit that has not arrived is not automatically a compliance problem, and the first things to check are confirmations, the network you selected and the memo.
The separate question — whether the coins you are about to receive carry a history that will cause a problem later — is one you can answer yourself before you send anything.
A check of the sending address names what it has been doing: sanctions designations, darknet markets, ransomware, scam and phishing clusters, mixers, drainer proceeds, stolen funds, no-KYC exchanges, mule networks. You get a verdict — CLEAN, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL — a recommendation of Proceed, Caution, Review or Reject, and the decision drivers in plain words.
For the P2P trader this is the whole decision. Bybit's P2P flow puts you face to face with a counterparty you do not know; the address they pay from has a history you can read in seconds before you release the other leg. The most common bad outcome in this market is not a hack — it is accepting USDT that came out of a scam a few hops back and finding out when the funds have already moved into your account.
Screening is read-only: no transaction, no fee, no notification. Check on the network you are actually receiving — USDT TRC-20 is the usual one, USDT ERC-20 the other.
Work through it in this order:
| What you get | Free check in the Telegram bot | Workspace and API |
|---|---|---|
| Before a P2P trade | verdict on the counterparty address, reason named | every counterparty screened automatically |
| Speed | seconds, in chat | seconds, or one API call in your flow |
| Volume | three checks a day | bulk lists, watchlists, continuous monitoring |
| Evidence | the result in the chat | a signed report you can forward with your explanation |
| Cost | free, no signup | from $199/mo — see pricing |
A P2P trader checks each counterparty in the Telegram bot — three free a day, verdict in seconds. An exchanger or desk running volume through Bybit should screen every incoming address with the API and review exceptions in the workspace. See also the P2P view.
Bybit's deposit FAQ lists the mechanical causes first: the network confirmations the deposit is still waiting for, a memo or tag error on a network that requires one, and deposit credit limits, with pending assets awaiting credit confirmation. Check those before assuming a compliance hold.
Send the address to the Telegram bot — three free checks a day, no signup. The verdict returns in seconds with the reason named, and the lookup is read-only: no transaction, no fee, no notification.
HIGH means the counterparty address carries exposure a compliance team would act on — scam or darknet clusters, stolen funds, sanctioned counterparties. The recommendation is Review or Reject: do not release your leg of the trade until they can explain where the funds came from.

No. Moving funds while a review is open does not change their history and reads badly. Answer the request for information, document where the funds came from, and let the review complete.
Not in a form that tells you what will and will not be flagged. Its public deposit FAQ covers confirmations, memo errors and credit limits. Anything more specific about internal thresholds is speculation, which is why the practical control sits on your side: check the sending address before the transfer.
