S&P adds WhiteBIT’s native coin to five key cryptocurrency indices

WhiteBIT’s native coin (WBT) has been officially included in the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market (BDM) Index, marking a significant milestone for both WhiteBIT and the broader fintech landscape of Central and Eastern Europe.

The S&P BDM Index — curated by S&P Dow Jones Indices — tracks the performance of leading digital assets that meet strict institutional criteria, including liquidity, market capitalization, governance, transparency, and risk controls.

The addition of WhiteBIT coin reinforces the platform’s growing role in the global crypto economy and highlights the industry’s shift toward regulated, infrastructure-level players.

Beyond the inclusion in the Broad Digital Market Index, WhiteBIT’s coin (WBT) has also been added to four additional S&P Dow Jones digital-asset indices, underscoring its emergence as a mature, institutionally relevant asset.

WBT now appears within several key benchmark families:

• S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Asset (BDA) Index 
• S&P Cryptocurrency Financials Index 
• S&P Cryptocurrency LargeCap Ex-MegaCap Index 
• S&P Cryptocurrency LargeCap Index 

These classifications require a multi-quarter record of liquidity stability, transparent price formation, and consistent market-cap behavior.

As the industry matures, index providers are expanding coverage beyond protocol-layer tokens, increasingly acknowledging the systemic role of exchanges and financial-infrastructure platforms.

WhiteBIT’s coin presence in the BDM Index positions the company within the global map of institutional-grade digital-asset providers.

WhiteBIT perspective

“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 expanded representation marks an important shift for WBT: from a utility token into a component integrated into global benchmark structures used by investment firms, ETF/ETN designers, and quantitative research platforms.

Its presence in multiple institutional models means that WBT is now incorporated into the analytical frameworks that guide long-term allocation strategies, diversified exposure construction, and risk-adjusted portfolio modelling.

Market context

The index additions follow a period of stable market performance for WBT, including a new all-time high of $62.96 on November 18, 2025, achieved despite broader market volatility.

WBT’s liquidity conditions and price behaviour across recent quarters contributed to meeting S&P’s inclusion criteria.

Being part of the S&P indices gives WBT a clear benchmark, making it easier to use in future financial products and long-term investment strategies.
