The requirement for inclusion in the index is to have a minimum $300 million market cap for cryptocurrencies and $100 million market cap for stocks. S&P Global said that the official launch will take place in a few weeks.

Why is the S&P Launching a Crypto Index?

In a blog post, S&P revealed that the index comes as a demand for broader and more diversified exposure to decentralized financial markets. This index offers market participants consistent, rule-based tools to evaluate and gain exposure.

Cameron Drinkwater, Chief Product & Operations Officer at S&P Dow Jones Indices, said, “As with traditional financial markets, independent benchmarks can help bring transparency and accessibility to the digital asset ecosystem. With this latest expansion, S&P DJI reinforces its role as a trusted provider of benchmarks across traditional and alternative asset classes – offering market participants clarity and confidence as new markets like cryptocurrency emerge.”

Meanwhile, CEO of Dinari, Gabe Otte, revealed Dinari’s goal for the collaboration. He said Dinari’s mission is to set a standard for tokenized equities to safely enhance traditional finance. Now for the first time, investors will be able to access US equities and digital assets together in a single benchmark.
