For a long time, I was honestly quite modest about my results and rarely spoke publicly about exact numbers. Not because there were no results, but because I believed the process mattered more than showing profits. Over time, I realized that my experience in crypto could be useful to others. That is why I am launching a new column called Money That Worked, where I break down my successful investments. Why I chose a specific asset at a certain moment, what pushed me to invest a particular amount, and how satisfied I am with these decisions today as a market analyst and trader.
I want to start with one of the strongest cases in my portfolio. This is my investment in WhiteBIT Coin.
How I Invested in WBT
On August 30, 2022, I invested $10,000 in WBT. At that moment, the price of the coin was $6.6 according to CoinGecko. As a result, I bought approximately 1,515 WBT. This was a conscious decision. In my opinion, even back then, it was clear that WBT was not just an exchange coin, but an infrastructure asset with a strong business logic and a clear growth model.
I viewed this investment as long-term from the start and did not plan a quick exit. What mattered to me was stability, liquidity, and the potential for ecosystem scaling.
What I Have Today
Today, the price of WBT is $52.7. My 1,515 coins are now worth approximately $79,850. The net profit is around $69,800. In practice, this investment has grown almost eight times. In my opinion, this is one of the best examples of how strategy and patience can deliver results without constant trading and unnecessary stress.
Why I Continue to Hold and Buy WBT
As an analyst, I review rankings and key market metrics every month. WBT consistently appears in the top lists that I track. For me, this is an important signal because these rankings reflect real volumes and sustained market interest.
I also want to highlight that WBT is among the top ten coins by trading volume on CoinDesk. This indicates strong liquidity and stable demand.

Another critically important factor is the inclusion of WBT in indices by S&P Dow Jones Indices. The coin was added to several crypto indices, including Broad Digital Market and LargeCap. In my opinion, this is a strong institutional signal. These indices apply strict requirements related to liquidity, market capitalization stability, and governance standards. Being included there reflects the maturity of the asset and its attractiveness to institutional capital.
I also consider the growth of the company’s capitalization to be an important factor. According to various sources, it may already be approaching $52 billion. This directly affects the stability of the ecosystem and market confidence.
And a bit of irony. While the crypto market has been under pressure for more than a year due to political factors and especially Trump related turbulence, WBT has been behaving quite calmly. No sharp moves, no panic, and a clear sense that the asset follows its own trajectory.
What You Can Earn by Investing in WBT Today
If you invest $10,000 today at a price of around $52, you can buy approximately 192 WBT.
In my opinion, a move toward $100 per coin looks realistic even within the next year. In that case, the value of such an investment would reach around $19,200. This is almost a twofold increase without aggressive assumptions.
If we look at a five-year horizon and assume that WBT continues to grow alongside the business, ecosystem development, and institutional demand, even conservative scenarios look attractive. At a price of $150, a portfolio of 192 WBT would be worth about $28,800. At $200 per coin, this value would rise to approximately $38,400.
That is why I see WBT not as a short term trade, but as an asset capable of steadily increasing capital over several years.
Final Thoughts
WBT is an investment I am genuinely satisfied with. I understand why I chose to invest this specific amount back then, and I clearly understand why I continue to hold the coin today. For me, this is a clear example of how analysis, discipline, and trust in fundamentals turn into real numbers. And this is only the beginning of the Money That Worked column.
