A whitelisted Bitcoin address is a pre-approved wallet address connected to your account.
This helps reduce the risk of unauthorized transactions or scams by ensuring Bitcoin is only sent to verified and trusted destinations.
1Bitcoin.ca uses whitelisted wallet addresses to help improve security and reduce the risk of Bitcoin being sent to the wrong address.
Bitcoin purchases and withdrawals can only be sent to approved wallet addresses added to your account.
