A New Benchmark for the Global Crypto Market
In a landmark move, Nasdaq and CME Group have joined forces to launch the Nasdaq-CME Crypto Index, merging their respective indexing capabilities to offer a comprehensive benchmark for digital assets. This strategic alignment signals deeper integration between traditional finance and the rapidly evolving crypto economy.
Broad Market Coverage for Smarter Exposure
The index tracks seven leading cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and liquidity: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK), Cardano (ADA), and Avalanche (AVAX). Utilizing advanced weighting methodologies and real-time data feeds, it delivers a reliable pulse of the broader crypto market, enabling diversified exposure without overreliance on any single asset.
Powering the Rise of Passive Investment
As institutional interest in digital assets grows, so does demand for indexed products. Industry leaders believe standardized indices are critical to unlocking mainstream adoption. The new benchmark paves the way for ETFs, structured products, and derivatives that meet rigorous regulatory and risk management standards.
- Provides clarity and stability in a volatile market
- Serves as a foundation for global investment strategies
- Supports the development of compliant financial innovation
This collaboration strengthens the infrastructure needed for long-term growth, setting a new standard for how the world invests in digital assets.
