The time of intense hardship is a great litmus test for many companies and individuals who operate in the public sphere. Right now, the world is experiencing an unimaginable terror of war in Ukraine, the heart of Europe. Standing on the side of peace and defense of Ukraine is currently among the priorities of many socially responsible companies.
WhiteBIT, the largest European cryptocurrency exchange, stands out from the other companies in the field by carrying out numerous charitable campaigns and partnerships to help Ukraine. What do we know about the WhiteBIT ecosystem? Let’s bring the company into focus and find out more.
What is WhiteBIT?
The WhiteBIT crypto exchange was founded in Kharkiv, Ukraine, in 2018 by a group of friends devoured by a passion for implementing a big dream. The center of their idea was to create an ecosystem and bridge the world of traditional technologies and blockchain. Moreover, this ecosystem had to be easily accessible to the broad public. Volodymyr Nosov, the CEO of WhiteBIT, has repeatedly emphasized that all innovations and improvements of the platform are made for the users’ convenience and organic integration of blockchain into people’s everyday lives.
Now, the exchange is being used by over 2 mln users worldwide, offering more than 450 trading pairs with the most popular and relevant cryptocurrencies and over 30 pairs with national currencies.

What contributions have been made by WhiteBIT to help Ukraine?
Whitepay x WhiteBIT fundraising campaign
Right after the war broke, Whitepay initiated the fundraising campaign for the humanitarian needs, the AFU, and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The company created a unique platform where people can donate cryptocurrency or any national currency. The contribution can be done from any part of the world through a convenient Whitepay service.
Whitepay x United24
United24 is a charitable initiative of President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine that has a like-named fundraising platform in its center.

Donations
WhiteBIT has made the most significant contribution to the United24 platform in the amount of 10 000 000 UAH.
State partnerships
WhiteBIT partnered with the online state service Diia to make the identity verification process for Ukrainian users faster and easier. Fast verification helps users carry out operations with national currencies, which is very helpful in times of unstable economic conditions.
Moreover, WhiteBIT signed a memorandum with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to support the Ukrainians who had to flee the country. As part of the partnership, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine received seven sets of special technical equipment for emergency assistance to Ukrainian citizens in emergencies abroad.
