## About

Cryptocurrency exchange offering spot and margin trading, staking and a custodial wallet.

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria: registration and onboarding are refused. WhiteBIT said in September 2026 that Syria stays on its restricted jurisdictions list, set by an internal risk assessment in which sanctions are only one factor. A request to at least reopen website access is pending.

## Community reports

- 2026-09-03 — Follow-up Sent. The volunteer proposed a narrower step: even if registration, deposits and trading stay closed, WhiteBIT could review whether a full website-level restriction on Syrian connections is still needed, leaving the help centre and product information reachable.
- 2026-09-03 — Declined. WhiteBIT said Syria remains on its restricted jurisdictions list and it cannot offer registration or onboarding there. It said the list is set by an internal risk assessment covering operational, regulatory and banking partner requirements, with sanctions only one factor.
- 2026-08-28 — Company Responded. WhiteBIT support acknowledged the request and said it would need more time to prepare an answer.
- 2026-08-28 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer asked WhiteBIT to review the clause in its AML policy prohibiting use by Syrian citizens and residents, and to say whether the restriction rests on a current law, a licensing condition, a banking partner requirement or internal policy.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
