Since October 8, 2026, the crypto exchange WhiteBIT has accepted Bitcoin over the Lightning Network and pays it out the same way. The fee is 0.25 percent on deposits and 0.15 percent on withdrawals. Both rates are percentages rather than flat amounts, and that is exactly what decides who is better off on the new route than on the Bitcoin main chain.

The exchange’s own token, WhiteBIT Coin (WBT), stands at $81.55, or 72.95 euros, which is 4.9 percent below last Monday’s level, according to CoinGecko at midday on Monday. The announcement did not carry the price: over the two days around October 8, WBT fell from $82.91 to $80.36, the weekly low.
