Nasdaq and CME Combine Digital Asset Benchmarks Into Nasdaq-CME Crypto Index
Nasdaq and CME Group have consolidated their separate crypto benchmarks into a single Nasdaq-CME Crypto Index aimed at institutional investors. The index evolves from the former Nasdaq Crypto Index and currently tracks a diversified basket of assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Chainlink, Cardano and Avalanche. By focusing on broad market exposure instead of single tokens, the new benchmark is designed to support the next phase of index-based crypto products such as ETFs and structured instruments.
