S&P Index Combines Crypto & Public Crypto-Linked Equities

S&P Global announced plans to expand its S&P Dow Jones Indices (“S&P DJI”) crypto index offering with the launch of the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index. Dinari, a leading provider of tokenized U.S. public securities, has collaborated with S&P Global on the index design and will create a token tracking the benchmark. The index is designed to track a wide range of companies and digital assets connected to the crypto ecosystem, combining cryptocurrencies and publicly traded crypto-linked equities into one index. The planned launch of the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index comes as demand for broader and more diversified exposure to decentralized financial markets continues to rise. The new index will include 35 companies involved in digital asset operations, infrastructure providers, financial services, blockchain applications and supporting technologies, but will also be combined with 15 cryptocurrencies selected from the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market Index. S&P Global believes this will provide market participants interested in exploring crypto-linked opportunities with a measure of performance across both sides of the crypto ecosystem. This latest index will join S&P Dow Jones Indices existing series of digital asset benchmarks, the S&P Cryptocurrency Indices and S&P Digital Market.
