FTSE Grayscale Crypto Sector Index Series

Capturing the expanding crypto universe.

The FTSE Grayscale Crypto Sector Index Series offers you a new way of thinking about the digital asset market, providing a comprehensive framework that allows you to measure the performance of the expanding crypto universe.

The index series seeks to bring clarity to this rapidly evolving asset class by identifying five distinct sectors that can be used as a roadmap to navigate the digital asset universe:

  • Currencies
  • Smart Contract Platforms
  • Financials
  • Consumer and Culture
  • Utilities and Services

An overarching governance framework has been established to effectively oversee FTSE Russell digital asset indices, from pricing data to index maintenance. FTSE Russell and Grayscale will reassess the sectors and their constituents quarterly to reflect the dynamic nature of the crypto asset class.
