Nasdaq and CME Group Announce Integration of Their Cryptocurrency Indices, Launching the Nasdaq-CME Crypto Benchmark Index. This new index covers major assets such as BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, LINK, ADA, AVAX, and others, with quarterly dynamic rebalancing to better adapt to market changes.

More notably, the index has become the pricing basis for over $1 billion in regulated products across the US, Europe, and Latin America. This signifies that traditional financial infrastructure is deeply integrating with digital assets, providing institutional investors with more standardized and transparent market reference tools. From exchanges to indices, from products to benchmarks, the "institutionalization" of the crypto market is accelerating.
