More details
WhiteBIT is a large European exchange with no reported hacks and a MiCA authorisation for its EU arm since June 2026. Its spot market allows full-settlement trading, but it has no Shariah-certified product and no Shariah screening of coins, and it also sells margin, futures and interest-bearing crypto lending that a Muslim investor must avoid. Spot trading on WhiteBIT settles immediately, which is consistent with the requirement of immediate exchange of crypto-assets in AAOIFI Shariah Standards No. 1 and No. 20. The exchange also offers margin trading and borrowing with a daily fee on borrowed funds (0.0585 % per day on the fees page), perpetual futures and crypto lending plans under its Earn section. Margin, futures and options fail the settlement and gharar conditions, and fixed-yield lending is riba, so these must not be used. WhiteBIT has no Islamic account, no Shariah-certified earn product and no Shariah screening of its catalogue: each coin has to be checked separately on Liberandum. Reliability is moderate (5.7 of 10). Positives: we found no reported hack since its 2018 launch; by the exchange's own statement (April 2026) about 96 % of user assets are in cold wallets and it holds CCSS Level 3 certification and an AAA rating from CER.live; WB-Shields Innovations GmbH (WhiteBIT EU) is on ESMA's MiCA register, authorised by Austria's FMA on 18 June 2026; and WhiteBIT obtained a broker licence from the National Bank of Georgia (April 2026). Weaknesses: the latest public proof of reserves we could find is a single Hacken snapshot from November 2024, segregation of client assets is not independently confirmed for the global platform, and no user protection fund is disclosed. The global User Agreement excludes US residents and sanctioned or FATF-blacklisted countries; US users are served by the separate WhiteBIT US (launched December 2025), UK users by whitebit.uk (launched May 2026) and EEA users by WhiteBIT EU.

No dedicated halal product
WhiteBIT offers no Islamic (swap-free) account and no Shariah-certified earn or staking product as of September 2026. Its Earn section consists of Crypto Lending plans with fixed or flexible interest, which are interest-bearing and not suitable.
No token screening
WhiteBIT does not screen listed tokens for Shariah compliance and publishes no Shariah-screened catalogue. Its normal listing review is not Shariah screening, so each coin must be checked on Liberandum before buying.
Step by step
How to trade halal on WhiteBIT
Create an account and pass KYC
Register on whitebit.com (or whitebit.eu if you live in the EEA) and complete identity verification with an ID document and a selfie. Turn on two-factor authentication in the security settings.
Deposit without interest products
Use Deposit in your Balance to send crypto or add fiat. Do not move the deposit into Earn or Crypto Lending: fixed and flexible lending plans pay interest, which is riba.
Check the coin on Liberandum first
WhiteBIT does not screen coins for Shariah compliance. Before buying, check the coin's halal status on Liberandum and skip coins marked not halal or doubtful.
Buy on the Spot market only
Open Trade and choose the spot market, then place a limit or market order. Spot orders settle in full immediately, which meets the immediate-exchange condition of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 20.
Avoid margin, futures and leverage
Do not use Margin trading or Borrow (borrowed funds with a daily fee), Futures or perpetual contracts, or any leveraged product. These fail the settlement and gharar conditions.
Withdraw to self-custody
For long-term holding, withdraw coins from Balance to a wallet you control. WhiteBIT charges the withdrawal fee shown on the withdrawal screen.
