Nasdaq CME Crypto Index Performance (Weekly):

 

The NCI rose 25.1% in a week marked by a confluence of positive factors. The first, extrinsic to crypto, was the announcement that the US Treasury will double its buybacks of long-dated bonds. The others, intrinsic to the market, came from regulatory progress: the SEC announced new rules for the sector, and Trump reinforced the importance of regulation for crypto. Finally, the price rally itself triggered a liquidation of short positions, which amplifies the move. As a result, all NCI constituents closed the week higher, and the index outperformed BTC (+22.7%) for the second consecutive week.

 

CIO's view: 

 

It's still too early to call, but some of the divergences between price and fundamentals are beginning to manifest in the form of a catch-up, spreading a bullish sentiment across the market. In this context, our expectation for the week is a range of 3,200–4,100 points for the NCI and US$75,000–US$83,000 for BTC.

 

Key Developments 

 

Hyperliquid is expected to be added in the NCI's next rebalancing.¹ This addition increases the index's diversification and expands its crypto exposure, evolving the benchmark toward the asset class.

 

Citigroup plans to integrate crypto into its traditional infrastructure.² The bank will begin offering BTC custody for institutional investors on the same infrastructure used for traditional assets.

 

Spot BTC and ETH ETFs had their best week of inflows since October 2025.³ Net inflows totaled $2.6 billion, signaling growing interest in the assets.
