Well, it depends. If you sent crypto to the wrong address or forgot to add a memo/tag (which some coins need), Bybit might help you get it back — but usually, you’ll have to pay a fee, and it’s not guaranteed. They have a process where you submit your transaction details, and if it’s still possible, they’ll try to recover it.
