WhiteBIT launches whitebit.uk to serve UK users

WhiteBIT has launched whitebit.uk to serve users in the United Kingdom. The site accepts British pounds via payment cards and the Faster Payments Service and offers spot trading, market analytics and instant asset conversion for retail customers.

Retail accounts can be funded in GBP using payment cards or the Faster Payments Service. The platform provides spot markets, market data and tools for converting one crypto asset to another instantly.

For institutional clients, whitebit.uk offers liquidity and market‑making support, token listing services, Crypto‑as‑a‑Service and API access for integrating trading and custody functions. Crypto lending and automated investment features are available where permitted, subject to onboarding checks and applicable UK regulatory requirements.

WhiteBIT says it is the largest European cryptocurrency exchange by traffic and is part of W Group, which reports more than 35 million customers. The company is listed among the top three most secure exchanges by CER.live and was the first to receive Level 3 certification under the Cryptocurrency Security Standard from the CryptoCurrency Certification Consortium. WhiteBIT applies anti‑money‑laundering and know‑your‑customer checks and uses infrastructure controls to protect user assets.

The Financial Conduct Authority’s 2025 data shows 91% of the general public are aware of cryptoassets, about 8% of adults hold crypto and 73% of crypto users rely on centralized exchanges to access digital‑asset markets.

WhiteBIT included a risk notice that cryptoassets carry the risk of loss from market volatility, limited liquidity, technical issues or third‑party actions. Crypto products are not regulated like traditional financial services, are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and may not be eligible for the Financial Ombudsman Service. Prospective users are advised to assess suitability and seek independent advice.

Volodymyr Nosov, founder and president of W Group, wrote on social media that entering the UK market is “an important milestone” and highlighted demand for platforms that combine innovation with trust, transparency and compliance.
