Nasdaq has revamped and rebranded the Nasdaq Crypto™ Index as the Nasdaq CME Crypto™ Index in partnership with CME Group, positioning it as a core benchmark for regulated crypto investment products. The move targets ETFs, structured funds, and other institutional-grade vehicles.
MSCI will not proceed with excluding digital-asset treasury companies from its indexes and instead will open a broader consultation on how to treat non-operating companies in benchmarks. The reversal delays a methodology change that could have affected passive funds and crypto-focused issuers.
