  Not using a whitelisting feature on a crypto trading platform can expose users to a higher risk of unauthorized access and account compromise. Without whitelisting, anyone can potentially gain access to the platform and conduct transactions on behalf of the user. This can lead to unauthorized trades, fund theft, and other malicious activities. Implementing a whitelisting feature adds an extra layer of security by allowing users to specify trusted addresses or devices that are authorized to access their accounts.

  The absence of a whitelisting feature on a crypto trading platform increases the vulnerability to phishing attacks. Phishers can easily trick users into providing their login credentials and gain unauthorized access to their accounts. With whitelisting, even if the phishing attempt is successful, the attacker would still need to bypass the additional layer of security provided by the whitelisted addresses or devices. This significantly reduces the risk of successful phishing attacks and enhances the overall security of the platform.
