WBT token new high hits $72.70 as Whitechain shifts to Ethereum Layer 2
WBT is trading near $72.70 after touching a fresh record, and the timing says almost as much as the number itself. The WBT token new high arrives just as WhiteBIT’s underlying blockchain project, Whitechain, repositions itself inside the Ethereum ecosystem and reshapes how its token supply works.

Key takeaways
- WBT set a new all-time high around $72.70, beating its previous record of $64.11 from December 2025.
- Whitechain is moving from a standalone Layer 1 to an Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack, with mainnet targeted later in 2026.
- WBT stays the native gas token on Whitechain after the switch, and its full token supply is now unlocked as of 2026.
- An active buyback-and-burn program aims to cut total supply toward 200 million WBT.
- WBT joined Kraken in March 2026 with USD and EUR trading pairs, and it appreciated 28.3% over the past year.
