Index products are financial instruments designed to track the performance of a specific market index, offering investors diversified exposure to a basket of underlying assets. In the digital asset space, these products typically track the performance of a selection of cryptocurrencies or a segment of the crypto market. They provide a simpler way for investors to gain exposure to the digital asset class without needing to purchase and manage individual tokens. These products aim to reduce the complexity and risk associated with single-asset investments.
