NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CoinDesk Inc. announces the launch of the CoinDesk Market Index (CMI), which includes eight subindices, constituting a family of broad-based digital asset indices designed to measure the market capitalization-weighted performance of the digital asset market. The subindices reflect sectors defined by CoinDesk's Digital Asset Classification Standard (DACS).

For crypto native builders and investors, the CMI family provides general and sector peer groups and benchmarks of competitors for comparison and valuations. Moreover, the sector subindices may be more appropriate to measure the performance of sector-focused funds, and the subindices may be used to build sector rotation strategies.
