Revolutionizing Cryptocurrency Investment: Zerocap and CoinDesk Indices Collaboration
HONG KONG – In a groundbreaking development for the Australian cryptocurrency market, digital assets market maker Zerocap has announced a strategic partnership with CoinDesk Indices. This collaboration aims to launch Australia’s inaugural options-based structured products linked to the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), a move unveiled during the recent Consensus Hong Kong event.
This innovative partnership is set to introduce a range of sophisticated and customized investment strategies that are typically found in traditional financial markets, marking a significant evolution in the cryptocurrency landscape. By leveraging these options-based structured products, institutions and other advanced market participants will gain the ability to manage risk while diversifying their exposure to digital assets, extending beyond the conventional pair of bitcoin and ether.
Furthermore, these new offerings promise additional benefits, including downside protection, volatility management, and yield enhancement. The introduction of these products is a clear response to the growing need for scalable and diversified institutional-grade cryptocurrency solutions, especially following the successful launch of spot ETFs in the United States last year.
The CoinDesk 20 Index has demonstrated remarkable growth, surging 456% over the past five years, and provides a diversified alternative to the traditional 70/30 bitcoin-ether portfolio split. By broadening exposure to other leading cryptocurrency assets, the CD20 Index aims to meet the evolving demands of investors.
“This partnership with CoinDesk Indices opens the door to sophisticated, structured options within the crypto market for the very first time,” stated Mark Hiriart, head of sales at Zerocap. “We are excited to offer our clients enhanced investment pathways into digital assets that come with tailored risk management and diversification benefits.”
Adding to this sentiment, Alan Campbell, President of CoinDesk Indices, emphasized that the CD20 Index is designed to address the burgeoning demand for diversified exposure to digital assets. He noted that Zerocap’s decision to introduce structured products tied to the index represents a significant leap forward in catering to the needs of a global clientele.
