A crypto index is a statistical measure that tracks the performance of a selected group of cryptocurrencies, designed to represent a specific segment of the digital asset market or the overall market. These indices are constructed using various methodologies, such as market capitalization weighting, to provide a benchmark for investment performance. They allow investors to gauge market trends and diversify exposure without directly owning individual assets.
