CoinDesk Indices Unveils Memecoin and Top 100 Token Indices, Bullish Lists Perpetual Futures
HONG KONG – CoinDesk Indices has introduced two new benchmark indices designed to track the price movements of memecoins and the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The announcement, made at Consensus Hong Kong, highlights growing institutional and professional investor demand for structured exposure to different segments of the crypto market.
The CoinDesk Memecoin Index will monitor the 50 largest memecoins by market cap, including Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Floki (FLOKI). Meanwhile, the CoinDesk 100 will serve as a comprehensive benchmark for the most liquid top 100 cryptocurrencies.
“The CoinDesk Memecoin Index caters to traders seeking liquidity and volatility, while the CoinDesk 100 provides seamless access to the broader digital asset market,” said Chris Tyrer, VP and Head of Institutional at Bullish. “By integrating these indices with our robust regulatory framework, we continue to expand institutional access to crypto.”
The memecoin index will be equal-weighted and rebalanced monthly to ensure a mix of established and emerging tokens, while the CoinDesk 100 will be market cap-weighted, making it a key reference point for ETFs, structured products, and risk management strategies.
To enhance tradability, crypto exchange Bullish has listed perpetual futures for both indices, offering traders deep liquidity and 24/7 market access.
This move follows the success of CoinDesk 20 and CoinDesk 80 perpetual futures, which have collectively generated over $13.5 billion in trading volume. The CoinDesk 80 perpetual alone has recorded millions in daily trading since January 2025.
