S&P Launches Digital Markets 50, a Hybrid Index of 15 Cryptos and 35 Stocks

A Dinari-issued token is planned to make the benchmark tradable on-chain.

Overview

  • S&P Dow Jones Indices introduced a cross-asset benchmark that combines leading cryptocurrencies with publicly traded companies tied to the digital-asset economy.
  • The methodology caps any single asset at 5%, sets minimum market caps of about $100 million for equities and $300 million for cryptocurrencies, and follows quarterly rebalancing under S&P governance.
  • S&P said the debut is still a few weeks away and declined to disclose the full constituent list, noting that so-called meme coins will not be included.
  • Dinari collaborated on the design and plans a dShares token to track the index on-chain, though specific launch timing for the token has not been finalized.
  • S&P framed the product as a rules-based tool for investors seeking diversified exposure to digital assets and crypto-linked equities as institutional interest in the sector grows.
