WhiteBIT Coin (WBT) is the native token of WhiteBIT, a cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2018 and headquartered in Lithuania, claiming to be Europe's largest CEX by traffic. As of May 2026, WBT ranks approximately 11th by market capitalization at around $12.6 billion with a maximum supply of 400 million tokens. The exchange and its token face serious, ongoing allegations including disputed ownership linked to pro-Russian political figures, money laundering claims from multiple jurisdictions, and a Ukrainian law enforcement investigation into alleged drug cartel fund flows, all of which WhiteBIT formally denies.
