Onramp Invest First US Firm to Deliver Investable Access to the CoinDesk 20 Index

Advisors can now directly access the CoinDesk 20 Index, a diversified and trusted benchmark for the growing global crypto economy

NEW YORK, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Onramp Invest, a Securitize company and a turnkey asset management platform that provides everything RIAs need to support blockchain-based alternative investment offerings, today announced that advisors using its platform can access the CoinDesk 20 Index, an investable index that measures the performance of top digital assets. The CoinDesk 20, currently trading via perpetual futures on the Bullish Exchange, is published by CoinDesk Indices, the leading provider of digital asset indices since 2014.

The CoinDesk 20 Index measures the performance of twenty top digital assets with a focus on liquidity. The market-cap-weighted index places a 30% cap on the largest member (currently bitcoin) and a 20% cap on all other members (currently ether) to improve diversification. The CoinDesk 20 is designed for implementation at scale with liquidity and exchange-listing requirements. 

"Advisors are experiencing strong client demand for comprehensive crypto strategies. Many investors seek more than just access to a bitcoin ETF; they desire broad exposure to the emerging digital asset market but lack the knowledge of how or where to invest. The CoinDesk 20 Index is intelligently designed and captures more than 90% of the digital asset market capitalization¹, and we're thrilled to offer advisors another powerful index from CoinDesk Indices. As always, CoinDesk Indices continues to have their finger on the investor pulse, allowing firms like ours to provide crucial tools when advisors need them most." said Eric Ervin, CEO of Onramp Invest, a Securitize company.

Onramp provides advisors with a wide range of options for accessing digital asset investment solutions and building custom models tailored to their clients' unique needs. In addition to the CoinDesk 20, Onramp's flexible platform features other CoinDesk Indices offerings, including CoinDesk Market Select Index (CMIS), CoinDesk Defi Select Index (DFX), CoinDesk Currency Select Index (CCYS), Bitcoin Trend Indicator (BTI) and Ether Trend Indicator (ETI).

"We are thrilled to announce the launch with Onramp to provide advisors and their clients with the most liquid and tradeable industry benchmark for digital assets," said Alan Campbell, President, CoinDesk Indices. "The next major allocation of investment dollars will be in diversified exposure beyond bitcoin and ether."

The CoinDesk 20 features trading and liquidity requirements that support product implementation at scale. It is a subset of the CoinDesk Market Index (CMI), which is drawn from the Digital Asset Classification Standard (DACS) universe. The index is calculated and published every five seconds and reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly following a robust and transparent governance framework.
