Equity Index Eligibility

Definition

Equity index eligibility defines the criteria a company’s stock must meet to be included in a specific equity market index. While traditionally applied to conventional stocks, in the digital asset domain, this concept relates to the potential inclusion of tokenized equities or shares of crypto-native companies in broader market indices. Criteria often involve market capitalization, liquidity, trading volume, and specific governance standards. Inclusion in an index can significantly increase an asset’s visibility and attract institutional investment.
