WhiteBIT’s token, WBT, is now part of the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market Index, a benchmark that tracks assets that meet strict institutional requirements.
The index evaluates digital tokens based on liquidity, market capitalization, governance practices, risk management, and price transparency. Meeting these criteria places WBT alongside assets commonly monitored by investment firms and ETF product developers.
This addition also reflects the industry’s growing interest in exchange-issued assets. As trading platforms play a larger role in global digital asset activity, index providers are starting to incorporate infrastructure-related tokens.

Included in four additional S&P indices
S&P Dow Jones has expanded WBT’s presence across four additional crypto benchmarks. These include the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Asset Index, the S&P Cryptocurrency Financials Index, the S&P Cryptocurrency LargeCap Index, and the S&P Cryptocurrency LargeCap Ex-MegaCap Index.
These indexes focus on assets with stable trading records over multiple quarters, consistent market capitalization trends, and reliable liquidity conditions. WBT met all the necessary indicators and strengthened its position as a mature digital asset.
The broader inclusion places WhiteBIT within the institutional framework used to form long-term allocation models, risk assessments, and diversified exposure strategies.
How companies respond to S&P ratings
WhiteBIT CEO Volodymyr Nosov said this development marks an important milestone for both the exchange and the region’s fintech sector. “Being recognized by S&P DJI means more than just being included in the index,” he said. “This shows that our region’s crypto infrastructure has reached institutional level.”
Nosov added that this classification strengthens WhiteBIT’s position within the global digital asset ecosystem and supports the development of compliant exchange-led services.
