CEO Volodymyr Nosov Details Plans for Expansion
WhiteBIT, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, is preparing to enter the U.S. market following a period of remarkable growth. In an exclusive interview with CoinGape, CEO and founder Volodymyr Nosov confirmed the move, emphasizing the company’s commitment to adhering to stringent U.S. regulatory requirements.
“Entering the U.S. is not just about geography—it’s about meeting high regulatory standards,” Nosov stated. “We’ve spent time researching the market and tailoring our strategies to comply with local regulations.”
The exchange has seen its daily trading volumes soar to $11 billion on the spot market and $40 billion on the futures market. Since 2022, WhiteBIT has experienced a fivefold increase in scale, with a global workforce exceeding 1,100 employees and collaborations with major partners such as FC Barcelona, Turkish FC Trabzonspor, the Ukrainian National Football Team, VISA, and ESL Faceit.

Its website has also gained significant traction, ranking among the top two cryptocurrency platforms in fall 2024, with 33 million visitors and over 1,000 institutional clients.

Additional ventures include WhiteEX physical cards, WhiteBIT Coin (WBT), the Pocket Rocket game, G.N. News portal, and the BiHy YouTube channel.
In October, the company launched WhitePool, a mining pool that has already achieved a hash rate of 7 EH/s and mined six blocks worth over $1.2 million.
