S&P Global announced plans for the Digital Markets 50 Index , a forthcoming benchmark tracking performance across digital assets and publicly traded crypto-focused companies. The index expands S&P’s push into the digital economy while maintaining its rules-based approach to portfolio construction. Dinari Partnership and Tokenization Dinari will tokenize the benchmark via its dShares platform once launched, extending blockchain-based access to S&P benchmarks. The collaboration marks a milestone for onchain financial products built from institutional-grade indices. Structure and Asset Selection The index is designed to track 15 major cryptocurrencies and 35 listed crypto-related firms, each capped at 5% weight to balance exposure and liquidity. S&P stated the components were selected for relevance and market capitalization within the digital asset ecosystem. Market Context and Outlook The plan arrives as institutional interest in digital assets accelerates, with Bitcoin near record highs and crypto equities outperforming broader markets. If successful, the Digital Markets 50 could set a new standard for diversified exposure spanning both tokenized and traditional markets.
