Balanced Exposure Across Assets
One of the key features of the S&P Digital Markets 50 is its diversification rules. No single asset can make up more than 5% of the index, limiting concentration risk. For equity constituents, companies must have at least $100 million in market capitalization, while crypto tokens need a $300 million market cap.
This structure ensures that the index reflects market-relevant assets rather than being dominated by a few high-profile tokens or stocks. For example, Bitcoin and Ethereum, which currently dominate the crypto market, will each account for less than 5% of the index. This approach balances the potential growth of individual assets with the stability of a diversified portfolio.
