FAQ

Why Bullish?

The introduction of a digital assets index signals S&P's commitment to innovation, analogous to past moves that strengthened its market position, such as the launch of indices that led to increased AUM (Assets Under Management) in the 2000s. This could attract new investors and increase trading volumes for SPGI-related products.

How important is it?

With the growing interest in digital assets, the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index could substantially influence S&P Global's market perception, much like their existing indices., thus signaling increased forward growth potential.

Why Long Term?

As digital assets become more mainstream, the impact of this index may manifest over the long term by broadening S&P's market appeal and creating new revenue streams, similar to when S&P introduced its first ESG and Green Bond indices that gradually gained traction over several years.

, /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) today announced plans to expand its S&P Dow Jones Indices ("S&P DJI") crypto index offering with the launch of the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index. Dinari, a leading provider of tokenized U.S. public securities, has collaborated with S&P Global on the index design and will create a token tracking the benchmark. The index is designed to track a wide range of companies and digital assets connected to the crypto ecosystem, combining cryptocurrencies and publicly traded crypto-linked equities into one index. "Cryptocurrencies and the broader digital asset industry have moved from the margins into a more established role in global markets. S&P DJI's expanded index suite offers market participants consistent, rules-based tools to evaluate and gain exposure. From North America to Europe to Asia, market participants are beginning to treat digital assets as part of their investment toolkit – whether for diversification, growth, or innovation strategies," said Cameron Drinkwater, Chief Product & Operations Officer at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "Independent, reliable and user-friendly benchmarks are a key component of financial markets. As with traditional financial markets, independent benchmarks can help bring transparency and accessibility to the digital asset ecosystem," Ms. Drinkwater continued. "With this latest expansion, S&P DJI reinforces its role as a trusted provider of benchmarks across traditional and alternative asset classes – offering market participants clarity and confidence as new markets like cryptocurrency emerge." The planned launch of the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index comes as demand for broader and more diversified exposure to decentralized financial markets continues to rise. The new index will include 35 companies involved in digital asset operations, infrastructure providers, financial services, blockchain applications and supporting technologies, but will also be combined with 15 cryptocurrencies selected from the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market Index. S&P Global believes this will provide market participants interested in exploring crypto-linked opportunities with a measure of performance across both sides of the crypto ecosystem. "By making the S&P Digital Markets 50 investible via dShares, we are not just tokenizing an index, we are demonstrating how blockchain infrastructure can modernize trusted benchmarks," said Anna Wroblewska, Chief Business Officer at Dinari. "For the first time, investors can access both U.S. equities and digital assets in a single, transparent product. This launch shows how onchain technology can expand the reach of established financial standards, making them more efficient, accessible, and globally relevant." This latest index will join S&P Dow Jones Indices existing series of digital asset benchmarks, the S&P Cryptocurrency Indices and S&P Digital Market Indices. S&P Global's digital asset capabilities support transparency and informed decision-making at the intersection of decentralized innovation and traditional finance.
