The index's total value will not exceed 25% weighting for the most valuable asset. The index will exclude stablecoins from its composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tokens and coins must be listed on one of the centralized exchanges\u2014Binance, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Bybit, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, or Upbit\u2014to be included in GMCI. Additionally, support from BitGo Custody<\/a>, Coinbase Custody, or Gemini Custody is required for digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
