WhiteBIT’s native token, WBT, has been added to the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market (BDM) Index, marking a new step in the exchange’s expansion into institutional-grade digital asset coverage.
The S&P BDM Index, maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices, tracks the performance of digital assets that meet defined criteria for liquidity, market capitalization, governance, transparency, and risk management. WBT’s inclusion reflects its eligibility under these standards and its growing trading presence.
Broader index representation
Alongside the BDM Index, WBT has been included in four additional 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.
These indices focus on digital assets that demonstrate sustained liquidity and consistent market capitalization over multiple quarters.
“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,” said Volodymyr Nosov, CEO of WhiteBIT “This is a turning point not only for our company but also for the evolution of compliant crypto services worldwide.”
Institutional visibility and recent performance
Inclusion in the S&P indices introduces WBT into broader benchmark structures used by investment firms, exchange-traded fund (ETF) and exchange-traded note (ETN) designers, and research platforms. This allows the token to be referenced within institutional performance models and portfolio construction tools.
The addition follows a period of steady price performance, with WBT reaching a new all-time high of $62.96 on November 18, 2025. The token’s liquidity and trading stability were cited as key factors in its eligibility under S&P’s classification framework.
According to WhiteBIT, the move provides WBT with clearer market benchmarking and could support its use in future investment products tied to indexed digital assets.
