CoinDesk Indices Rolls Out CoinDesk 100 and Memecoin Index to Track Market Trends

CoinDesk Indices Expands Offerings With New Crypto Benchmarks; Bullish Adds Perpetual Futures

HONG KONG – CoinDesk Indices has introduced two new index products to meet the growing demand from institutional and professional investors seeking structured exposure to the evolving crypto market. Announced at Consensus Hong Kong, the indices will track the performance of memecoins and the top 100 digital assets.

The CoinDesk Memecoin Index will follow 50 of the most prominent memecoins, including Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Floki (FLOKI), while the CoinDesk 100 will serve as a reference point for the leading cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

“Traders are looking for tools that allow them to navigate both the volatility of memecoins and the broader crypto market with confidence,” said Chris Tyrer, VP and Head of Institutional at Bullish. “These indices provide clear benchmarks to track and trade key sectors of the industry.”

The Memecoin Index is equal-weighted and rebalanced monthly, ensuring an accurate reflection of shifts in the speculative memecoin space. Meanwhile, the CoinDesk 100 is market cap-weighted, making it a valuable benchmark for investment products, ETFs, and risk management strategies.

To further enhance market access, crypto exchange Bullish has launched perpetual futures for both indices, offering traders deep liquidity and 24/7 trading opportunities.

The launch builds on CoinDesk’s existing suite of indices, including the CoinDesk 20 and CoinDesk 80, which have collectively generated over $13.5 billion in trading volume. The CoinDesk 80 perpetual futures contract alone has seen millions in daily trades since January 2025, underscoring the demand for structured crypto exposure.
