The token is now available for trading on Kraken through WBT/EUR and WBT/USD pairs, expanding access to the asset for traders globally.
Ecosystem expansion and market growth
The listing follows a period of strong growth for WBT in 2025. During the year, the token increased by 160% and reached an all-time high of $64.1. Additionally, its market cap rose to $10.7 billion, making it the 11th-largest cryptocurrency by market value, according to CoinGecko data.
“Listing WBT on Kraken represents a logical next step in the expansion of the WhiteBIT ecosystem,” said Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group, which WhiteBIT is a part of. “It reflects the momentum we’ve built through ecosystem growth, strategic partnerships, and increasing institutional visibility. It’s another important endorsement of WBT’s value and its role in the future of digital finance.”
WhiteBIT said the growth of WBT has been supported by the expansion of the broader W Group ecosystem, which includes partnerships such as the company’s collaboration with Juventus, where WhiteBIT serves as the club’s Official Sleeve and Cryptocurrency Exchange Partner.
The company also highlighted its international expansion, including the launch of new operations in South America and the United States, as well as cooperation in the Middle East through a partnership with Saudi Arabia focused on developing blockchain infrastructure and central bank digital currency (CBDC) frameworks.
WhiteBIT added that WBT has also gained institutional recognition, including its inclusion in the S&P Crypto Indices.
Launched in 2022, WhiteBIT Coin is the utility token of the WhiteBIT exchange ecosystem. The token provides users with several benefits on the platform, including trading fee discounts, referral bonuses, withdrawal privileges, AML checks, staking rewards, and access to projects through the WhiteBIT Launchpad.
WhiteBIT said the listing on Kraken expands access to WBT for a wider group of traders while supporting the continued development of its exchange ecosystem.
