TL;DR
- WBT was added to the S&P Broad Digital Market (BDM) and four other indices, including the LargeCap Index.
- The inclusion validates the token’s liquidity, capitalization, and transparency in the eyes of institutional investors.
- WhiteBIT’s CEO highlights that regional crypto infrastructure has now reached global standards.
WhiteBIT has incorporated its native token, WBT, into multiple indices of S&P Dow Jones Indices in a strategic move toward institutional adoption. One of Europe’s largest crypto exchange platforms positions its token, and by extension the platform’s infrastructure, within the visibility standards used by traditional investment globally.
The inclusion of the WBT token was officially announced with its entry into the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market (BDM) Index. This particular index is known for tracking the performance of digital assets that meet rigorous criteria for liquidity, market capitalization, governance, and transparency.
This strategic move by WhiteBIT validates its growing presence and operational stability in the market, meeting the requirements for institutional-grade assets.
WBT Expands to Multiple S&P Segments
WBT’s Inclusion in S&P Indices was not limited to the BDM. Simultaneously, the token was added to four other S&P digital asset benchmarks: the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Asset (BDA) Index, the S&P Cryptocurrency Financials Index, the S&P Cryptocurrency LargeCap Ex-MegaCap Index, and the S&P Cryptocurrency LargeCap Index.
This diverse representation demonstrates WBT’s maturity, since these indices require a history of liquidity stability and consistent market capitalization over multiple quarters.
It is worth noting that, thanks to this multiple classification following the inclusion, the token will be visible to a wider variety of institutional financial products. Its insertion into these benchmarks is fundamental for the design of financial products such as ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) and ETNs (Exchange-Traded Notes).
WhiteBIT’s CEO, Volodymyr Nosov, emphasized the importance of the achievement. “Being recognized by S&P DJI is more than an index inclusion; it signals that crypto infrastructure from our region has reached global institutional standards,” declared Nosov, calling it a “turning point” for the evolution of compliant and regulated cryptographic services worldwide.
Ultimately, WBT’s Inclusion in S&P Indices comes after a period of solid token performance, which reached a new all-time high of $62.96 on November 18, 2025.
A scenario with stable price and liquidity determined the token’s eligibility. This step consolidates WhiteBIT’s position as a fundamental player in the global crypto economy, opening the door to future integrations of investment products linked to indexed digital assets.
