Is WhiteBIT available in Thailand?
WhiteBIT does not hold a Thai licence, and Thailand requires a foreign platform that serves Thai users to be licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under Royal Decrees issued in April 2025, the authorities can block unlicensed platforms, and a group of unlicensed exchanges was blocked from 28 June 2025. WhiteBIT is not licensed in Thailand, so it does not lawfully serve Thai residents.
Information, not advice. This is general information, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Verify the current rules with a qualified local professional and the official regulator before acting.
How we checked this. We set this status by reading the platform's own terms of use and country eligibility, and the public register kept by the named regulator, then dated the result. Availability can change, so confirm directly with the platform and the regulator before acting. As of 26 June 2026.
As of 26 June 2026, WhiteBIT does not lawfully serve residents of Thailand. Under a Royal Decree issued on 13 April 2025, a foreign digital asset platform that targets Thai users must hold a licence from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and a separate decree lets the authorities block unlicensed platforms without a court order. WhiteBIT is not licensed by the Thai SEC, so treat it as not available in Thailand and confirm the current position before acting.
Availability for Thailand residents
As of 26 June 2026, WhiteBIT is not licensed to serve residents of Thailand. The financial regulator for digital asset businesses is the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and platform blocking powers sit with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society.
Two Royal Decrees issued on 13 April 2025 reshaped the rules. The Royal Decree on the Operation of Digital Asset Businesses (No. 2) requires a foreign crypto service that targets Thai users to secure a licence from the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Royal Decree on Measures to Prevent and Suppress Technology Crimes (No. 2) lets the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society block unlicensed platforms without a court order. From 28 June 2025, the authorities began blocking a group of unlicensed exchanges.
WhiteBIT does not hold a Thai SEC licence and is not among the licensed digital asset operators. Because a licence is a legal precondition for serving Thai users, this page treats WhiteBIT as not available in Thailand. No affiliate or compare module is shown for a platform that is not available here.
Why WhiteBIT is treated as not available
Thailand has moved to bring foreign platforms that serve Thai users inside its licensing regime. A platform that uses the Thai language or a Thailand related domain, or otherwise targets Thai users, is treated as operating in Thailand and must be licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unlicensed platforms can be blocked at short notice.
WhiteBIT has not obtained that licence, so it cannot lawfully onboard Thai residents. A resident in Thailand who is considering crypto should look to an operator that holds a Thai SEC licence, and should treat any access to an unlicensed foreign platform as outside the local regulatory protections. Confirm the current licensing position on the official sources before acting.
How crypto is taxed in Thailand
Crypto in Thailand is overseen for tax purposes by the Revenue Department. Gains from trading digital assets can be taxable, and the rules have changed over time, including measures affecting the tax treatment of trading through licensed operators, so the current position should be confirmed (as of 26 June 2026).
This page does not state a rate, because the treatment depends on the current law and your circumstances. See the Thailand crypto tax page for a fuller explanation, and confirm the current treatment with the Revenue Department or a qualified local adviser. This is general information, not tax advice.
