WBT meets multi-quarter standards for liquidity, market-cap stability, and transparent pricing. Index inclusion follows WBT’s new all-time high of $62.96 recorded in November. 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.
