Investors will now be able to monitor the performance of their investments relative to the general market. Unlike the traditional financial markets, it can be hard for crypto investors to gauge how well their investments are performing in relation to the market. This fragmented nature of the market makes investors rely on major crypto coins as the main benchmark for any investment decision.
The Current Model Is UnreliableRelying on the prominent base pair, BTC as the main benchmark can lead to various problems. As a result, it can diminish the understanding of the portfolio performance of an investor. As the crypto-coin markets start to mature, investors will require new tools that can offer better insight into how their holdings are performing.
The AltDex SolutionThe AltDex is a crypto index platform, which brings an industry-first set of market capitalization-weighted indices. These indices cover various digital asset categories. Included in this launch are the AltDex 100 Index, AltDex Exchange Token Index, and the AltDex Privacy Coin Index. AltDex will leverage an adjusted market-cap-weighted approach to filter each of the indices. The indices are reviewed and rebalanced at the start of the month.
Exclusion Criteria No egregious forks, stablecoins, or coins that have been documented as scams No coins whose circulating supply is below 5% No coins with a trading history of less than a month The General Weighting CriteriaAll the coins within an index will be weighted according to a market cap average from more than 90 exchanges and 22,000 trading pairs. The weighting is done automatically after 5 minutes. Every index will have an initial value of 100.
