WhiteBIT Secures Georgia Broker License, Expands Regulated Crypto Access

WhiteBIT secured a broker license in Georgia through WhiteBIT Broker, approved by the National Bank of Georgia. The move enables regulated crypto derivatives trading, including perpetual futures, within the country. The license expands access for Georgian users and aligns with the exchange’s ongoing push into regulated markets through a locally registered entity.

WhiteBIT Broker License in Georgia

WhiteBIT will introduce derivatives trading services through its newly licensed entity, WhiteBIT Broker. These services include perpetual futures and other broker-led financial instruments. Georgian users will access these offerings through whitebit.ge under a regulated structure.

Previously, WhiteBIT provided spot trading services in Georgia through a separate entity. However, this new license separates derivatives activity under a dedicated framework. As a result, users can engage with derivatives markets within a compliant environment.

Moreover, the platform focuses on transparency, capital protection, and operational reliability. These elements define how the exchange structures its services in the Georgian market. Asa result, the rollout expands access while maintaining regulatory alignment.

License Secured With NBG 

WhiteBIT obtained the license from the National Bank of Georgia with support from consulting firm Clarsen. This step connects the crypto exchange directly with Georgia’s regulatory framework. Therefore, operations now follow local financial rules governing broker activity.

Meanwhile, Georgia continues to position itself as a crypto hub. According to Chainalysis’ 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index, the country ranks among top adopters globally. In some population-adjusted metrics, it ranks third worldwide.

This environment supports WhiteBIT’s expansion strategy into regulated jurisdictions. Additionally, the license strengthens the exchange’s presence within a growing digital asset market. The move also aligns with increased demand for structured crypto products.

Security Systems and Infrastructure Key to Rollout

WhiteBIT maintains a focus on asset protection and system reliability within its operations. Approximately 96% of user assets remain stored in cold wallets. This approach limits exposure to online risks and supports fund security.

In addition, the platform uses multi-layered security systems and independent audits. These measures help maintain operational integrity across its services. The crypto exchange holds a CCSS Level 3 certification, the highest Cryptocurrency Security Standard level.

Furthermore, WhiteBIT carries an AAA security rating from CER.live. The platform ranks among the safest global exchanges based on this evaluation. These systems continue to support its infrastructure as it expands services in Georgia.

The rollout introduces regulated derivatives trading into the local market structure. It also extends access to broker-led crypto instruments under compliance rules. Georgian users now interact with both spot and derivatives services through separate, regulated channels.
