WhiteBIT Coin Hits 3-Year Milestone: How the Exchange Token Defied Crypto Winter

Three years ago, WhiteBIT launched its native exchange token into a bull market frenzy. Today, WBT stands as one of the few exchange coins to survive the brutal 2022-2024 crypto winter—no thanks to the 'helpful' oversight of regulators who were too busy chasing DeFi degens.

The Exchange Token That Wouldn't Die

While competitors like FTT imploded and BNB faced existential lawsuits, WhiteBIT's token quietly stacked integrations. Spot trading discounts? Check. Staking rewards? Obviously. A merch store nobody uses? You bet.

Numbers Don't Lie (But Exchanges Might)

The official stats claim 'consistent growth'—though they suspiciously omit trading volume comparisons from the 2021 hype cycle. Still, surviving three years in this market deserves at least a backhanded compliment.

As the token enters its fourth year, the real test begins: Can it outlast the next Tether FUD cycle? Or will it join the graveyard of exchange tokens that tried—and failed—to be more than a loyalty points gimmick?

Three years of steady growth

According to CoinGecko, WBT has risen in price by about 300% in the past year alone, despite the overall volatility of the crypto market.

In mid-2025, the asset reached an all-time high of about $52.27, after which it held at around $40, losing only 15% of its peak. This is evidence of sustained demand and investor confidence, which is rare in a highly volatile environment, the exchange said.

The secret to success: integration into the WhiteBIT ecosystem

The company emphasised that WBT has a wide utility within the WhiteBIT exchange and provides owners with a number of advantages

• Discounts on commissions — up to 100% for makers and up to 80% for takers
• Daily free withdrawals of Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens — from 1 to 1000 transactions;
• Increased referral fees — from 40% to 50%;
• Daily AML checks — from 1 to 500;
• SoulDrop — a bonus from exchange commissions depending on the amount of WBT on the balance;
• Access to the Launchpad for voting and investing in new projects;
• Bonus interest in USDT lending programs — from 0.025% to 2.36%;
• Multiple deposit addresses — from 5 to an unlimited number per day;
• Reduced fees for margin financing — from 0.66% to 7.74%.

“Unlike many memecoins, which often have no practical purpose, WBT acts as a ‘productive’ coin, providing holders with numerous benefits on the exchange,” WhiteBIT said.

Some of the benefits are not available at the initial level. However, the basic Level 1 Holding tier requires only 10 WBT to gain access to address generation, Launchpad, and discounts on margin financing.

According to the platform’s team, against the backdrop of many altcoins that experience steep drops after short-term ups, WBT demonstrates resilience supported by real demand mechanisms. Its three-year history and the absence of sharp collapses make the asset attractive for long-term holding, WhiteBIT said.

“Deep integration into the WhiteBIT ecosystem provides a foundation for maintaining value, creating trust among users and investors,” the exchange added.

Outlook

WBT continues to expand functionality and deepen integration into the exchange’s ecosystem, the press release noted.

At the current pace of development, the asset is likely to remain one of the key elements of the platform and potentially grow further, especially among investors seeking stability in the world of high-risk cryptocurrencies, the exchange representatives said:

“Its three-year history is a clear indicator of the potential for further success in the dynamic crypto market.”
