Are crypto exchanges still competing with each other, or with your bank?
Alex Kozenko, WhiteBIT’s Group CMO and Denys Stukalenko, Chief Commercial Officer, join Bitcoin.com News' Live News Desk at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026.
Kozenko says the real rivals now are Robinhood, Revolut and Nubank, and that within a few years users won't see a line between banks, neobanks and Web3 banks.
Stukalenko explains why bank customers shouldn't have to leave their bank to access crypto.
