Europe’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by traffic, WhiteBIT, has launched a dedicated UK platform at whitebit.uk. The strategic expansion targets one of the world’s most mature and regulated markets. The platform offers spot trading and GBP deposits for retail users, alongside institutional services like market-making and API integration. This move aligns with a reported surge in UK crypto awareness and investment.
WhiteBIT has launched a dedicated UK platform to expand its presence in the regulated financial market. The exchange aims to promote global blockchain adoption and make cryptocurrencies accessible.
The new platform, whitebit.uk, serves both retail and institutional clients. Retail users gain access to spot trading, market analytics, and instant conversion features.
Users can deposit British pounds via payment cards and the Faster Payments Service. Institutional participants are offered liquidity assistance, token listing opportunities, and Crypto-as-a-Service.
The launch follows a reported surge in UK cryptocurrency adoption. A Financial Conduct Authority report from 2025 indicated 91% of the UK population knows about cryptocurrencies, with approximately 8% of adults as investors.
WhiteBIT Founder and President Volodymyr Nosov stated, “Entering the UK market marks an important milestone in WhiteBIT’s expansion across regulated jurisdictions.” He emphasized the goal of providing access to digital assets while maintaining high standards of trust and compliance.
The exchange has a proven track record in security, ranking in the top three secure exchanges globally according to CER.live. It was also the first exchange to obtain a Level 3 certification under the Cryptocurrency Security Standard.
WhiteBIT maintains strong compliance procedures including AML and KYC protocols. The company plans to continue increasing its product portfolio and local UK presence.
Investing in crypto-assets involves substantial risk due to market volatility and other factors. Cryptoassets are not regulated as traditional financial products and are not backed by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
Potential investors are advised to carefully consider if crypto investment is appropriate for them. Seeking independent financial advice is also recommended.
