S&P and Kaiko Unite Crypto Benchmarks for ETF Issuers

S&P Dow Jones Indices and Kaiko have combined their digital asset benchmarks into the S&P Kaiko Digital Asset Indices, targeting growing institutional demand for crypto investment infrastructure. The suite launches with more than 4,000 rates and indices, pairing S&P DJI’s benchmark governance, licensing and global distribution with Kaiko’s 24/7 data infrastructure and connectivity to over 150 exchanges. Existing ETPs, futures, options and structured products using Kaiko benchmarks can adopt the new branding. The partnership could give ETF issuers a broader, institutionally governed foundation for developing crypto products.
