[PRESS RELEASE – Vilnius, Lithuania, July 6th, 2026]

WhiteBIT, the largest European exchange by traffic, has redesigned its VIP Program to make VIP status easier to reach and easier to keep. Instead of meeting two metrics at once, members now qualify by satisfying any single criterion — average balance, spot volume, futures volume, or crypto lending.

The four qualification paths

The redesign was built around how professional users actually manage their capital — not around a single fixed formula. Meeting any one of the following is enough:

1. Average Balance — monthly average of assets held, with no trading required;
2. Spot Volume — spot and margin activity, including Convert, sub-accounts, and trading bots;
3. Futures Volume — derivatives trading activity;
4. Crypto Lending — value held in active Crypto Lending fixed plans of 30 days or more.

How it works

• Automatic. The system assigns the highest level a user qualifies for — no application needed — and applies upgrades within 24 hours.
• Protected. A downgrade happens only when all four metrics fall below their thresholds and the grace periods pass, so a temporary dip in one area won’t cost a member their level.
• Transferable. An existing VIP level on another exchange can be moved over through verification; transfers are assessed on trading volume only.

To see the difference in practice: consider a member whose trading slows down for a quarter, but who holds part of their portfolio in a 60-day Crypto Lending plan. Under the old model, that wouldn’t have been enough on its own — balance and volume had to combine. Under the new one, the lending position alone is enough to hold their level.

Why it matters

The redesign rests on one principle: capital that’s already working for a member should count toward their status. The biggest shift is crypto lending — previously, assets in lending plans were excluded from balance calculations, so funds earning yield didn’t count toward VIP standing. Now lending qualifies on its own, so capital can earn a return and build status at the same time.

The result is a program built to fit how members actually operate — active trading, long-term holding, or lending — rather than asking them to fit a single formula. Resting on four independent routes also makes status more stable: progress in any one area is enough to hold a level, even if another slows down. Support has been strengthened to match: from the first level onward, members get a dedicated personal manager, reachable via Telegram, email, WhatsApp, or a scheduled call.

VIP membership unlocks reduced trading fees, higher operational limits, and priority service — and the redesigned program makes reaching and keeping that status more reflective of how members already use the platform.
