Overview
2. What are Multi-Asset Cryptocurrency Indices?
Our Multi-Asset Cryptocurrency Indices are financial benchmarks that track the performance of multiple coins/tokens. These include:
- Market cap-weighted: Indices that measure the performance of multiple cryptocurrencies by weight, similar to stock indices, such as the Nasdaq-100.
- Ratios: Indices that track the relative performance or price relationship between two specific cryptocurrencies.
