Nasdaq launched XRP Liquid Index [XRPLX], the latest addition to Brave New Coin’s list of Liquid Indices Program, according to an official post on the stock exchange’s website. XRP will join Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH], both of which saw their price indices going live in February.

The XRP Liquid Index will be offered on spot or reference rate for the price of the underlying cryptocurrency in USD. The exchange stated that this will be “based on the most liquid ends of their markets.”

According to New Zealand-based Brave New Coin, the index was curated to meet the “marketplace’s requirement for a single, reliable and fair USD price for XRP.” The XRPLX will conform to the global sample of crypto liquidity, based on “highest volume and quality exchanges,” added BNC.

The statement added,

“Current constituent exchanges for the XRPLX include Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Poloniex and Kraken with Coinbase to be added in the next review.”

The XRPLX has been calculated using a methodology that is “independently audited,” as per the principles set by the International Organisation of Securities Commissions [IOSCO], and will be made available on Nasdaq’s Global Index Data ServiceSM [GIDS].
