Break through the digital asset
noise. We are all invested in
the growth of the global crypto
economy. The scope and scale
of new ideas, innovation, and
application of technology
for digital asset investment
opportunities is staggering. New
possibilities for access, portfolio
and risk management, and
process efficiency arise every day.
For the past few years, digital
asset users have primarily
been early adopters, those
who worked hard to access
this new and exciting asset
class. The next phase is mass
adoption. This phase is about
accessibility: tapping into digital
asset investment products and
platforms, analyzing the potential
benefits of allocating to crypto,
and setting up the infrastructure
for seamless implementation.
CoinDesk Indices supports
the products, platforms, and
ideas that will make this next
evolutionary phase to mass
adoption possible. We address and
work through critical topics faced
by the industry, helping us all
move forward.
In the modern era, digital assets such as bitcoin
and ether have become central to financial
discussions. Now, there is a further evolution of
opportunities beyond spot bitcoin and ether. This
includes:
* Bitcoin 2.0: Bitcoin ETFs offer spot prices
Beyond spot are smart beta and alpha-seeking
strategies coming to market.
* Ethereum: Ether ETFs dominate headlines but
Ethereum as a blockchain includes staking. This
gives access to yield and enables interest rates.
* Broad-based benchmarking: Bitcoin captures
about 55% of the total crypto asset class. Rather
than measure the asset class with one asset,
broad-based indices like the CoinDesk 20 grant
access to the broader digital asset landscape.
Our firm provides a broad array of independent,
transparent tools that help clarify the digital asset
space for investors.
Our comprehensive offering includes:
* CoinDesk 20, a broad-based index embraced
by leading market-making firms and global
participants. The index has been designed
with liquidity, diversification benefits, and
implementation in mind.
* CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index (XBX), designed to
be the reference price for Bitcoin. XBX has the
longest index track record and underlies some of
the world's largest digital asset products.
* Bitcoin and Ether Trend Indicators, designed
to help navigate the crypto seasons, these
are daily signals that convey the direction and
strength of price trends. These signals have
five rankings from " significant downtrend " to
" significant uptrend. "
