It avoids relying mainly on price performance, brand recognition or investor attention.<\/p>\n<p>The index\u2019s methodology favors smart contract and DeFi platforms, as it ranks assets by their last two quarters of protocol revenue with a minimum $500 million marketcap. The index will be rebalanced quarterly, with its largest holding capped at 35%. The index launched with 18 tokens led by ether, binance coin, solana, tron, and hyperliquid.<\/p>\n<p>That approach sets it apart from indexes concentrated in bitcoin, popular tokens or assets that have risen sharply in value. Meme coins and other products with limited underlying economic activity are not the focus.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the benchmark applies methods more commonly associated with traditional financial indexes. Its selection process is supported by blockchain data provider Artemis.<\/p>\n<h2>A New Framework for Crypto Allocation<\/h2>\n<p>The index is designed for institutions seeking diversified exposure to blockchain networks, digital assets and related infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>It may also serve as the basis for future investment products. Asset managers could use it as a benchmark when building portfolios or evaluating actively managed strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Cathy Clay, CEO of S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices, said the <a href=\"https:\/\/press.spglobal.com\/2026-07-21-S-P-Dow-Jones-Indices-and-Pantera-Capital-Launch-New-Index-for-Digital-Assets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">partnership<\/a> brings an economics-based framework to one of the market\u2019s fastest-moving asset classes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the S&amp;P Pantera Digital Asset Index, we bring that same discipline to digital assets,\u201d Clay said. She added that the index would help investors \u201cfocus on fundamentals\u201d and reduce the influence of market noise. Clay added that bitcoin was excluded as it\u2019s not a \u201crevenue-generating protocol.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The launch reflects a growing push to build crypto products that resemble established financial benchmarks. Institutional investors have often struggled to compare assets across a market that includes payment networks, decentralized finance protocols, tokenized infrastructure and highly speculative tokens.<\/p>\n<h2>Institutional Market Enters a More Selective Phase<\/h2>\n<p>S&amp;P and Pantera said the timing reflects a maturing digital asset market. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/defi-and-web3\/basics-dapps\/defi-use-cases\/?_gl=1*lwysbx*_gcl_au*MTc2OTYwMjg0NS4xNzc4NzgwNzM1*_ga*MjE1MTQ4MjQ1LjE3NzA5OTgxMTI.*_ga_ERLPF60ZDD*czE3ODQ3MjU0NjUkbzI0MSRnMCR0MTc4NDcyNTQ2NSRqNjAkbDAkaDA.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blockchain applications are expanding<\/a>, regulation is becoming clearer in major jurisdictions and institutional access is improving.<\/p>\n<p>Still, many existing investment products offer broad exposure without distinguishing between sustainable network activity and short-term speculation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/pantera-founder-backs-trumps-bitcoin-reserve-proposal-its-actually-a-really-good-policy\/\">Dan Morehead, Pantera\u2019s founder <\/a>and managing partner, said allocation remains one of the largest obstacles for global investors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest friction point in crypto hasn\u2019t changed; it\u2019s knowing how to allocate,\u201d Morehead said. He added that the firms developed the index to identify the assets and infrastructure that truly matter.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark also signals a shift in how large investors may approach crypto. Rather than treating the sector as a collection of popular tokens, institutions are increasingly looking for measurable revenue, adoption and economic value.<\/p>\n<p>For S&amp;P and Pantera, the bet is that the next phase of digital asset investing will be shaped less by attention and more by fundamentals.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/sp-and-pantera-launch-new-crypto-index-with-holdings-in-ether-solana-bnb-and-hype\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways S&amp;P and Pantera launched a crypto index using 3 metrics: revenue, usage, and economic activity.
