Wintermute Launches GMUSA Index CFD, Offering New Exposure to U.S. Crypto Market

Wintermute has introduced a contract for difference (CFD) tied to the GMUSA index, allowing traders to efficiently engage with the ongoing discussion surrounding a potential U.S. strategic digital asset reserve.

The move comes from Wintermute Asia, the derivatives trading unit of the leading crypto market maker. This CFD is linked to the GMCI USA Select Index, designed to help traders quickly respond to market developments and navigate shifting investment narratives.

The GMUSA index tracks leading crypto projects with legally registered U.S. entities, weighted by circulating supply. The index’s highest-weighted assets include XRP, Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE), alongside other significant tokens such as Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), Chainlink (LINK), Uniswap (UNI), Hedera (HBAR), Near Protocol (NEAR), Litecoin (LTC), and Aptos (APT). Since Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election in early November, the index has surged by over 160%.

The index functions as a benchmark for investors evaluating U.S.-based crypto projects. Wintermute’s CFD makes it easier for traders to gain exposure, enabling them to take long (buy) or short (sell) positions on the index without directly owning its underlying assets. CFDs are widely used in forex and commodity markets for their flexibility and efficiency.

“This product is part of our broader strategy to create narrative-driven index baskets, providing traders with a seamless way to transition between trending crypto investment themes,” Wintermute stated in its announcement.

The launch coincides with increasing speculation about President Trump’s possible implementation of a national digital asset reserve. While Bitcoin (BTC) remains the most commonly cited candidate, some industry leaders—such as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse—have advocated for a diversified approach incorporating multiple tokens.

“The ongoing conversation about a potential U.S. national digital asset stockpile has significantly impacted the valuations of U.S.-focused tokens. The GMUSA index offers structured exposure to this trend, including key assets such as XRP, SOL, DOGE, ADA, AVAX, LINK, SUI, XLM, HBAR, UNI, LTC, NEAR, and APT,” Wintermute noted.

Wintermute plans to introduce additional narrative-driven index products, giving market participants new tools to hedge risk, express investment views, and capitalize on price movements without the complexities of trading individual assets.
