WhiteBIT’s WBT Token Added To Five S&P Crypto Benchmarks For Institutions

WhiteBIT’s token, WBT, is now part of the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market Index, a benchmark that tracks assets meeting strict institutional requirements.

The index evaluates digital tokens based on liquidity, market capitalization, governance practices, risk controls, and price transparency. Meeting these standards places WBT alongside assets commonly monitored by investment firms and ETF product developers.

The addition also reflects growing industry interest in assets issued by exchanges. Index providers have begun incorporating infrastructure-related tokens as trading platforms take on a larger role in global digital-asset activity.

Included in Four Additional S&P Indices

S&P Dow Jones expanded WBT’s presence across four more cryptocurrency benchmarks. These include the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Asset Index, the S&P Cryptocurrency Financials Index, the S&P Cryptocurrency LargeCap Index, and the S&P Cryptocurrency LargeCap Ex-MegaCap Index.

These indices focus on assets with stable multi-quarter trading records, consistent market-cap behavior, and reliable liquidity conditions. WBT met all required metrics, reinforcing its position as a maturing digital asset.

The broader inclusion places WhiteBIT within institutional frameworks used to shape long-term allocation models, risk assessments, and diversified exposure strategies.

Company Response to S&P Recognition

WhiteBIT CEO Volodymyr Nosov said the development marks a key milestone for both the exchange and the region’s fintech sector. “Being recognized by S&P DJI is more than an index inclusion,” he said. “It signals that crypto infrastructure from our region has reached institutional levels.”

Nosov added that the classification strengthens WhiteBIT’s standing within the global digital-asset ecosystem and supports the development of compliant, exchange-driven services.

Market Context and WBT’s Recent Performance

WBT’s index inclusion follows a period of steady market behavior. The token reached a new all-time high of $62.96 on Nov. 18, despite ongoing volatility across major cryptocurrencies. Its price stability and liquidity history helped the token qualify for S&P’s evaluation process.

Notably, WBT trades at $62.54, reflecting a 0.3% rise in the past day. Despite the broader market volatility and downturn in recent weeks, WBT has seen an uptick across different time ranges. Particularly, it has seen a 6.5% and 17.9% rise in the past week and month, respectively.
