Index investing meets crypto

Primers - Reports

The crypto market is undergoing a transformation, shifting from a speculative, nascent ecosystem to a sophisticated, institutionalized asset class with a multifaceted economy.

As this transformation unfolds and demand for this asset class increases, financial advisors can benefit from solutions that provide diversified exposure with trans- parent, rules-based frameworks. Similar to traditional asset classes, allocating to a single crypto asset may expose investors to concentra- tion risk and overlook the potential asymmetric upside of emerging technologies within the crypto ecosystem.

Much like equity indices like the S&P 5001 or the Nasdaq-1002, which have historically provided access to a broad swath of the global economy, a reliable crypto index strategy can offer many advantages in the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape. This approach delivers broad market exposure, potentially capturing emerging leaders without requiring investors to possess deep technical or project-specific knowledge, thus positioning them to capitalize on blockchain’s long-term growth potential across various sectors.

The Nasdaq Crypto IndexTM (NCITM)3 addresses this need by introducing an institutional-grade benchmark to the crypto space. Leverag- ing Nasdaq’s 40-year legacy4 of managing the world’s leading inno- vation benchmark, the Nasdaq-100, the NCITM applies rigorous criteria to select the most institutionally aligned assets within thousands of existing digital assets. This allows for diversified exposure to the most relevant crypto sectors, offering a dynamic benchmark for tracking long-term leaders.

Tracking a flavor of the NCITM, the Nasdaq Crypto US IndexTM,5 is the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ), a single product that provides financial advisors and other professional investors a low-cost, operationally efficient gateway to the evolving crypto economy, adhering to the highest standards of traditional financial markets.
