Could Crypto Indexes Change How People Measure the Market?
Investors often judge the crypto market by looking at Bitcoin’s price, but Bitcoin doesn’t represent everything happening across the industry. A crypto index could track a broader basket of assets based on factors such as market capitalisation, sector or network activity. This could make it easier to understand whether the wider market is actually growing or whether gains are being driven by only a handful of large cryptocurrencies. It could also give investors a benchmark against which to compare their own portfolios. Do you think crypto needs widely recognised indexes in the same way traditional markets have benchmarks such as the S&P 500?
