[PRESS RELEASE \u2013 Vienna, Austria, June 19th, 2026]<\/strong><\/p>\n

WB-Shield Innovations GmbH, operating as WhiteBIT EU,<\/strong> announced today that it has obtained authorization under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA)<\/strong> in Austria.<\/p>\n

The authorization was granted by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Austrian authorization marks a key step in WhiteBIT\u2019s European growth strategy and underscores WhiteBIT EU\u2019s commitment to operating within a transparent, secure and harmonized regulatory framework. Under MiCAR, WhiteBIT EU will be able to provide regulated crypto-asset services to eligible users across the EEA.<\/p>\n

The authorization marks an important step in WhiteBIT\u2019s broader strategy to build a regulated European presence and contribute to the continued development of the digital asset ecosystem in the EEA*.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhiteBIT was originally founded as a European exchange, and Europe remains at the core of our long-term vision,\u201d said Volodymyr Nosov<\/strong>, Founder and President of W Group<\/strong>, which WhiteBIT is part of. \u201cWith MiCA setting a global benchmark for digital asset regulation, this authorization reinforces our commitment to building a transparent, secure, and compliant crypto ecosystem for users across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strengthening WhiteBIT EU\u2019s Regulatory Position in Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n

MiCAR establishes a harmonized EU framework for crypto-asset service providers, including requirements relating to governance, transparency, client protection and market integrity.<\/p>\n

By obtaining authorization in Austria, WhiteBIT EU has completed a substantive regulatory assessment in a jurisdiction recognized for its well-established financial supervisory standards. This strengthens WhiteBIT EU\u2019s regulated European presence and supports the planned provision of crypto-asset services across the EEA within the scope of its MiCAR authorization and in accordance with applicable passporting, onboarding and regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n

With the MiCA license in Austria, these efforts are now consolidated under a single regulatory framework, enabling WhiteBIT to serve millions of European retail and institutional clients with compliant, secure, and accessible crypto services.<\/p>\n

Launch of WhiteBIT.EU for European Users<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of its transition to the MiCA framework, WhiteBIT is preparing to launch whitebit.eu<\/a> \u2014 a dedicated platform designed specifically for users across the European Economic Area (EEA).<\/p>\n

This new platform will serve as WhiteBIT\u2019s regulated hub for the European market, operating under the MiCA framework and offering compliant access to the company\u2019s products and services across the EEA.<\/p>\n

New users interested in joining whitebit.eu<\/a> can already register their interest through a dedicated form on the website and will be among the first to receive updates when the platform becomes available.<\/p>\n

This press release constitutes a marketing communication for the purposes of applicable regulations.<\/strong><\/p>\n
