[PRESS RELEASE – Vilnius, Lithuania, May 19th, 2026]
A new card design, a crypto reward for first-time users, and a donation to the Elina Svitolina Foundation with every activation — an opportunity to make a difference on and off the court.
WhiteBIT, the largest European cryptocurrency exchange by traffic, has launched a new initiative with global brand ambassador Elina Svitolina. As part of the program, WhiteBIT introduces a limited-edition Svitolina-themed skin for its WhiteBIT Nova Visa card, giving users a way to support Ukrainian children and celebrate Elina at Roland-Garros.
The initiative combines product and purpose: for every card activated with the Svitolina design between 19 May and 19 June, WhiteBIT will donate 15 USDC to the Elina Svitolina Foundation. In addition, the first 200 new users who activate the skin will receive 10 USDC credited directly to their card.
This campaign reflects WhiteBIT’s ongoing expansion into international sport as a means to reach global audiences and promote everyday cryptocurrency use by integrating its products into routine spending.
The Choice of Champions
Elina Svitolina is one of the most accomplished Ukrainian athletes of her generation — a former world No. 3, winner of 20 WTA titles and an Olympic bronze medallist. She arrives at Roland-Garros following her third Rome title, secured just days before the tournament — her 20th career WTA crown and an unbeaten 8-0 record in clay-court finals — sending a clear message of intent heading into Paris. The WhiteBIT Nova card skin celebrates that moment.
The collaboration highlights WhiteBIT’s effort to make crypto genuinely useful. The WhiteBIT Nova Visa card allows users to spend crypto anywhere by converting balances at the point of sale. Pairing this functionality with a widely recognised sports figure and connecting the launch to a major Grand Slam event helps introduce the card to a broader audience beyond crypto enthusiasts.
“Sport and crypto are driven by the same principles — both reward discipline, both move fast, and both are rewriting the rules of what’s possible. Partnering with Elina is a natural extension of what WhiteBIT Nova is built for: turning digital assets into a practical financial tool for people on the move. This collaboration is about more than a design — it’s about shared values: ambition, resilience, and giving back.” – Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group (which includes the WhiteBIT exchange)
“Sport creates opportunities — on the court and beyond it. For me, competing at the highest level has always come with a responsibility to give back. Supporting young Ukrainians through education and sport is something I’m deeply committed to, and partnerships like this one help make it possible.” – Elina Svitolina
The Svitolina skin is available from 19 May. While Elina competes in Paris, the card skin can be used everywhere else.
