WhiteBIT Goes Pro: From Retail Giant to Institutional Powerhouse at Liquidity 2025

🧨 WhiteBIT’s Institutional Era Has Officially Begun

At Liquidity 2025 in Hong Kong, where banks, funds, and Web3 natives collided, WhiteBIT didn’t show up to spectate — it came to dominate.

As a Golden Partner, Europe’s largest crypto exchange by traffic brought receipts: OTC desks, CaaS APIs, ultra-low-latency infrastructure, Fireblocks-backed custody, and a crystal-clear pitch to Wall Street:
CeFi is ready for your money.

🏦 From 35 Million Users to Multi-Million Trades

WhiteBIT started as a retail favorite, but 2024 marked a sharp pivot. With a full Institutional Division, the exchange now offers:

• 💸 OTC & market-making with negative fees
• 🔐 Secure custody with Fireblocks-grade protection
• ⚙️ Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) integration for enterprise apps
• 💶 SEPA-based fiat rails with €100K+ transaction support

This isn’t just about order books. It’s crypto infrastructure at scale — built for fund managers, banks, fintechs, and power users.

🧠 CeFi Meets DeFi: WhiteBIT’s Take on the Hybrid Future

During the summit’s “CeFi vs DeFi” panel, WhiteBIT’s CCO made their position clear:
The future isn’t either/or — it’s both.

“The next phase is interoperability — not silos. Institutions want DeFi benefits without losing compliance. We’re building the bridge.” — Sergii Bulgakov

That’s not just panel talk. WhiteBIT’s infrastructure is already connecting regulated front ends with decentralized execution paths. Hybrid finance is no longer theoretical.

🌍 Not Just Europe Anymore

WhiteBIT may be a European heavyweight, but its ambitions are global:

• Active partnerships with Visa, FACEIT, FC Barcelona, and national federations
• Global wallet APIs, fiat on/off ramps, and localized infrastructure
• Branding + real-world use = trust at scale
