YNG lands on WhiteBIT: another step in Young Platform’s international expansion

From July 28, YNG will also be tradable on WhiteBIT. A step that fits into a year of expansion for Young Platform: the MiCAR licence, the capital increase, and now a new international listing.

From July 28, 2026, the YNG token will also be tradable on WhiteBIT, a European centralised platform with a MiCA licence in Austria and VASP authorisations in ten EU countries. This is the first listing of YNG on a third-party centralised platform: until now, the YNG token was only accessible on Young Platform and, since July 2025, also through the decentralised protocol Uniswap.

What are the implications, and why now? To understand that, it helps to look at the year Young Platform has just been through.

A year of foundations

In 2026, Young Platform went through two milestones that changed the scale at which the company operates. The first is the MiCA licence: granted by Consob and the Bank of Italy, which authorised Young Platform as a CASP (Crypto-Asset Service Provider) for eight of the ten services provided for under the European regulation.

An authorisation that, thanks to the European passporting regime, is valid not only in Italy but, potentially, across the entire Union; the licence has now officially been passported to France as well.

The second is Young Group’s €22.5 million capital increase, led by the Azimut Group. Fresh resources to accelerate the build-out of a financial infrastructure that integrates crypto, digital banking and tokenised assets.

Taken together, the licence and the capital are the two conditions that make an expansion beyond Italy’s borders possible. And within that expansion, the YNG token, which sits at the centre of the Young Platform ecosystem, is one of the tools through which this path takes shape: the more accessible the token is across markets and platforms, the wider the audience that can come into contact with the ecosystem it represents. The listing on WhiteBIT is the first concrete step in this path.

Why WhiteBIT

WhiteBIT is a European exchange with a MiCA licence in Austria and VASP authorisations in ten EU countries, with over eight million registered users and a daily trading volume of between $1 and $2.5 billion, depending on the source. It is also the leading European exchange by web traffic, with around 32 million monthly visits.

For YNG, joining a venue of this size means three concrete things:

• Greater geographic visibility: WhiteBIT was founded in Ukraine and has built a strong historical presence in Eastern Europe over time, a region where Young Platform is practically unknown. It’s an entry into a context the ecosystem currently has little presence in.
• An international proving ground: the token is put to the test by a community with different habits and reference points from Young Platform’s historical one — a first concrete test of interest beyond its established audience.
• More trading venues: YNG adds to the platforms already active — Young Platform and Uniswap — expanding the access points for anyone who wants to trade the token, regardless of channel or reference market.

A move that also reflects a broader choice of collaboration between platforms. “WhiteBIT is a natural partner in this phase of expansion, one that will let us bring YNG in front of an international audience“, commented Alexandru Stefan Gheban, CEO of Young Platform.

What doesn’t change

The listing has no bearing on the token’s tokenomics (maximum supply, circulating supply, issuance mechanics), holders’ rights as defined in the White Paper, YNG’s smart contract, or the terms of use on Young Platform and Uniswap.

And it is in no way a promise about price: an admission to trading is an infrastructure step, not an event that guarantees any market direction. We say this because we are the issuer, and a fact like this should always be put in its proper context.

This isn’t the last step

The WhiteBIT listing is part of a broader expansion of YNG’s trading venues that will continue through 2026. Young Platform continues to evaluate new trading venues for YNG. Any new announcements will be communicated to the public through an inside information disclosure pursuant to Art. 88 MiCAR, in line with the timing and requirements set out by the regulation.

If you hold YNG, what changes for you

Nothing, unless you also want to trade on WhiteBIT. Your YNG stays exactly where it is, under the same conditions as always. All the operational and regulatory details of the listing date, terms, and regulatory references are in the official announcement published at https://youngplatform.com/en/token-yng/documents/inside-information/listing-whitebit-token-young-yng/.

Remember YNG Boost!

On July 16 we launched YNG Boost (Vesting Service). What is it? Quite simply: by purchasing and locking Young (YNG) on the platform for 12, 24 or 36 months, you’ll receive an extra amount of YNG tokens (the Boost) added on top of what you’ve already purchased.

The best part? The more YNG you buy and the longer you lock it, the bigger the Boost — up to a maximum of 30% of the purchased amount! And that’s not all: there’s an additional Boost for members of our Clubs (Silver and above), up to 34.5% for Platinum Club members.

One important thing to keep in mind: selling and repurchasing YNG tokens you already hold excludes you from YNG Boost. As always, we recommend reading this article, which briefly explains how YNG Boost works: YNG Boost is here: buy Young (YNG), lock it, and get extra YNG tokens.
