[PRESS RELEASE – London, UK, May 20th, 2026]

Do not invest unless you are prepared to lose all of the money you put in. This is a high-risk investment and you should not expect protection if something goes wrong.
WhiteBIT, the largest European cryptocurrency exchange by traffic, has launched whitebit.uk, a dedicated platform for users in the United Kingdom. This strategic step strengthens WhiteBIT’s presence in one of the world’s most developed and highly regulated financial markets.
The launch supports WhiteBIT’s mission to accelerate global blockchain adoption by making cryptocurrency more accessible and practical for everyday use.
WhiteBIT UK is designed to serve both retail and institutional users. For retail customers, the platform provides core features such as spot trading, market analytics, and instant conversion. UK users can fund accounts in GBP using payment cards and the Faster Payments Service (FPS). For institutional clients, WhiteBIT UK offers liquidity and market-making support, token listing services, Crypto-as-a-Service solutions, and API connectivity to integrate and manage digital asset operations within a single platform. UK customers will also have access to crypto lending and auto-invest functions, subject to product availability, onboarding checks, and applicable UK regulatory requirements.
The launch coincides with continued growth in crypto adoption across the UK. According to the Financial Conduct Authority, awareness of cryptoassets remains high among the general public, with surveys in 2025 showing widespread recognition and approximately 8% of UK adults holding crypto. The data also indicates that 73% of users rely on centralized exchanges, underscoring the role of established platforms in providing access to digital asset markets. The UK remains one of the leading markets globally for crypto engagement and fintech innovation.
“Entering the UK market marks an important milestone in WhiteBIT’s expansion across regulated jurisdictions,” said Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group, which includes WhiteBIT. “The UK has long been a global financial hub, and we see strong demand for platforms that combine innovation with a high level of trust, transparency, and compliance. Our goal is to provide users with access to digital assets while maintaining the standards that define our platform globally.”
Nosov announced the launch on social media to mark the milestone.
WhiteBIT has built its reputation on security and operational resilience, consistently ranking among the top secure exchanges worldwide. The exchange was an early adopter of formal security certifications and was the first to obtain Level 3 certification under the Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS) developed by the CryptoCurrency Certification Consortium (C4). WhiteBIT implements robust compliance procedures, including AML and KYC protocols, and maintains advanced infrastructure to protect user assets.
As the UK market continues to evolve, WhiteBIT plans to expand its product lineup and local presence further, supporting both individual users and institutional partners with compliant solutions.
Investing in cryptoassets involves a significant risk of loss. Risks can arise from market volatility, liquidity constraints, technological failures, or the actions of third parties.
Even when platforms apply security, compliance, and risk-management measures, these cannot remove the risk of losing some or all of your investment. Cryptoassets are not regulated in the same way as traditional financial products and are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). You may not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). Consider carefully whether investing in cryptoassets is appropriate for you and seek independent advice if necessary.
