Access, verification, and products
WhiteBIT is a custodial platform, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than handing you the private keys. Australia users typically fund accounts by depositing crypto or by using supported payment methods, and identity verification, known as know your customer, is required before trading.
The products offered to any country depend on local rules and on the registrations the platform holds. Confirm what is offered to Australia on the platform itself, and check the AUSTRAC register to see whether WhiteBIT is a registered digital currency exchange provider.
How crypto is taxed in Australia
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) generally treats crypto as a capital gains tax asset for individuals, so disposals can create a capital gain or loss, and some activity can be ordinary income. A discount can apply to gains on assets held for at least twelve months, depending on circumstances.
Rules change, so confirm the current treatment with the Australian Taxation Office or a qualified adviser. See the Australia crypto tax page for a fuller explanation. This is general information, not tax advice, stated as of 26 June 2026.
Several platforms serve Australia residents, and many are registered as digital currency exchange providers with AUSTRAC. Availability and products vary, so compare the exchanges that are genuinely available in Australia before you choose.
Every availability status here is dated and checked against the named regulator's public register. We never place a link to a platform where it is not available.
