S&P Global unveils comprehensive benchmark merging crypto and equities
S&P Global announced plans to launch the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index, a benchmark that combines 15 cryptocurrencies with 35 publicly traded crypto-linked equities, offering a single gauge of the broader digital-asset economy.
According to the Oct. 7 announcement, S&P Dow Jones Indices developed the index in collaboration with Dinari, which will issue a token tracking the benchmark on its dShares platform, thereby expanding access for investors seeking exposure to both sides of the crypto ecosystem in a single product.
S&P said the equity portion will include companies involved in digital-asset operations, infrastructure, financial services, and blockchain applications, while the crypto portion will be drawn from the firm’s existing Broad Digital Market (BDM) family.
Initial methodology details published by financial media indicated the index will cap individual constituents at 5% and apply minimum market-cap thresholds, about $100 million for equities and $300 million for cryptocurrencies, with quarterly rebalancing under S&P’s governance framework.
The launch adds to S&P’s expanding suite of digital-asset benchmarks alongside its crypto and DeFi indices, part of a broader push by major providers to supply rules-based tools for institutions as tokenized markets mature.
Dinari, which develops tokenized U.S. equities and has advanced regulatory approvals this year, said the product demonstrates how blockchain can modernize established benchmarks by making them more accessible and globally relevant.
The move comes amid renewed interest in diversified crypto exposure and follows competing efforts by other index providers to track the “crypto economy,” though most alternatives to date focus solely on tokens or on blockchain-related equities rather than both.
