It will allow institutions and other sophisticated market participants to take risk-managed diversified exposure to digital assets that go beyond just bitcoin and ether while offering additional features like downside protection, volatility management and yield enhancement.
The new offering demonstrates the increasing demand for scalable and diversified institutional-grade cryptocurrency products following the debut of spot ETFs in the U.S. last year.
The CoinDesk 20 Index, which has surged 456% over the past five years, provides a diversified alternative to the standard 70/30 bitcoin-ether portfolio split by broadening exposure to other leading crypto assets.
"This partnership with CoinDesk Indices brings sophisticated, structured options to the crypto market for the first time, offering our clients enhanced ways to invest in digital assets with tailored risk and diversification benefits," said Mark Hiriart, head of sales at Zerocap.
Alan Campbell, President of CoinDesk Indices, said the CD 20 Index caters to the growing demand for diversified digital assets exposure and Zerocap's decision to debut structured products tied to the same is a significant step forward in serving global clientele.
