S & P'nin yeni bitcoini, eter endeksleri bankaların kripto pazarına girmesine yardımcı olabilir

Her yerde bulunan S&P 500'ün arkasındaki firma olan S&P Dow Jones Endeksleri, Salı günü üç yeni kripto endeksinin lansmanını duyurdu. S&P DJI küresel inovasyon başkanı Peter Roffman'a göre lansmanlar, çok çeşitli finansal hizmet şirketlerine dokunabilecek bir işin temelini oluşturuyor.

S&P Global tarafından 2012 yılında kurulan firma, açıkladı kurumsal veri sağlayıcısı Lukka ile ortaklık yoluyla Aralık ayında kripto para birimi endekslerini başlatma niyetinde. Kripto endekslerinin ilk grubu S&P Bitcoin Endeksi, S&P Ethereum Endeksi ve S&P Cryptocurrency MegaCap Endeksi'ni içeriyor; ikincisi hem Ethereum'u hem de Bitcoin'i izliyor. 

“This is the first step,” Roffman said. The firm, which runs hundreds of thousands of indexes spanning major asset classes, plans to roll out indexes tied to other top cryptocurrencies in the coming months. 

“We are going to launch a broader set of indices,” Roffman added, noting that the firm wanted to get started with the two “most liquid and recognized assets.”

“We want to pick the coins that have the largest institutional following,” he told The Block.

According to S&P DJI’s Sharon Leibowitz, the index-provider sees an opportunity in the market for decentralized finance. 

“I think it is early,” said Leibowitz, who’s worked in technology at JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and UBS. “Some of these coins will probably qualify for our indexes as we get down to the next tier.”

Indexes are an important component of Wall Street’s market structure, powering tradable products like exchange-traded funds and serving as a benchmark for investors making allocations in a given asset. 

Roffman said the interest in the products reflects the growth of the broader crypto market. Banks, for instance, could leverage these indexes to build over-the-counter derivatives or structured products “of all different flavors.” Such products are tied to the price of an underlying asset, index, or basket of different assets. They could provide a way for banks to offer their clients exposure to BTC and ETH without having to store the underpinning crypto assets. 

During 2017’s market cycle, several banks explored the idea of launching products tied to bitcoin. Morgan Stanley, for instance, toyed with takas ürünü. 

“I don’t have any specifics,” Roffman added. “In general, folks are looking at a variety of creative solutions.”

Bunun ötesinde, Bitcoin ETF sağlayıcılarının büyüyen listesi S&P DJI için başka bir fırsat sunuyor. 

“We try to avoid direct comparisons with competitors but what I can say is we have a high-quality realistic way for asset managers to build these products.”
