Astana, Kazakhstan — European cryptocurrency exchange WhiteBIT has officially entered the Kazakhstan market, supporting the country’s ongoing development of a regulated and transparent digital asset ecosystem. The launch increases access to secure trading infrastructure and global financial technologies for local users.

— Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group (the ecosystem that includes WhiteBIT).
