SINGAPORE, Oct. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Antalpha Capital Pte. Ltd. (“Antalpha”) has signed a licensing agreement to use the S&P Cryptocurrency Top 10 Index (Singapore Close), newly launched by S&P Dow Jones Indices (“S&P DJI”), on a basis exclusive to its index fund product in the Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa regions.
The S&P Cryptocurrency Top 10 Index (Singapore Close) seeks to track the performance of the top 10 cryptocurrencies from the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market Index, consisting of the two largest and most liquid coins – Bitcoin and Ethereum – plus eight additional coins, weighted by market capitalization. A risk-controlled variant – the S&P Cryptocurrency Top 10 Dynamic Rebalancing Risk Control 40% Index (Singapore Close) (USD) – will also be available.
The licensing agreement with S&P DJI grants Antalpha the right to use the index for Antalpha’s first product, the Antalpha S&P Cryptocurrency Top 10 Index Fund. As a passively managed fund, it seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price performance of the S&P Cryptocurrency Top 10 Index (Singapore Close). A subsequent fund will also be launched based on the risk-controlled variant.
