Single assetS&P Bitcoin IndexReviewed 2026-10-25A benchmark tracking Bitcoin, rather than a diversified crypto portfolio.S&P digital asset index methodology (opens in a new tab)The benchmark is not itself an investment product. The methodology distinguishes the standard 4pm ET price capture from the separate CET-close variant; confirm the exact series, currency and wrapper fees.Does the chosen investible wrapper track this exact variant after fees?
Single assetS&P Ethereum IndexReviewed 2026-10-25A benchmark tracking Ether. Holding an index-linked product need not provide staking income.S&P digital asset index methodology (opens in a new tab)The methodology distinguishes standard and CET-close variants. Check the exact return series and wrapper terms separately; this directory does not establish that staking income is included.Is staking income included, excluded or retained by the product provider?
Multi assetS&P Cryptocurrency MegaCap IndexReviewed 2026-10-25Combines Bitcoin and Ether within the S&P digital-assets methodology.S&P digital asset index methodology (opens in a new tab)The standard MegaCap methodology weights Bitcoin and Ether by market capitalisation; a separate equal-weight variant exists. Two assets are not broad sector coverage. Current weights and index levels are not reproduced here.How much of the portfolio is driven by its largest constituent?

This is the London settlement variant with quarterly rebalancing and diversified free-float weighting; a spot-rate series is separate. Reference time and publication time are different fields.Does the mandate match this exact weighting, return series and London reference time, including publication delay?
Multi assetCF Broad Cap · Free Float · US SettlementReviewed 2026-10-25Weights eligible digital assets by free-float market capitalisation.CF Broad Cap free-float index (opens in a new tab)CF Capitalization Series methodology (opens in a new tab)The provider specifies quarterly reconstitution and rebalancing, with a 4pm New York reference time for this daily settlement variant. Publication follows the methodology timetable. London and spot-rate variants are separate benchmarks.How does free float differ from circulating supply in the proposed mandate?

DN Concentration Lab

How diversified is the basket?

Enter constituent weights to inspect concentration without relying on the number of names in an index. This is a user-input scenario, not current market data.

Up to 50 non-negative weights totalling 100%. Default 60 / 25 / 10 / 5 is hypothetical.

Effective holdings = 1 / sum of squared fractional weights. Equal weights maximise this measure for a fixed count. It does not measure correlations, liquidity, drawdown or suitability.

Evidence & methodology

Useful research shows its boundaries.

What this dataset establishes

A selective research directory of benchmark designs, product structures and AI value-chain exposure. Inclusion is editorial coverage, not an investment ranking, endorsement or eligibility determination. No live prices, constituent weights, performance series or execution observations are collected. AI categories and diligence questions are DN interpretations of linked primary sources. Review dates describe our source review, not provider release dates. Individual token records identify issuer and reference asset separately. Network labels are documentary evidence, not verified contracts or trading routes; unverified fields remain explicit. This version combines separately dated section reviews. All four editorial sections now have a completed scoped review. Dataset-level reviewedAt is the oldest completed section date, a conservative freshness baseline; it is not a same-day full review. Section reviews and record dates identify the actual scope. lastFullReviewAt preserves the prior full-review date. Framework references inform DN-authored prompts; they do not endorse this worksheet or certify compliance.

Tokenised-stock evidence retains its 23 October review and 6 November deadline. Crypto-index, AI-stock and institutional framework reviews are dated 25 October and due 8 November. The previously outstanding 28 October institutional review is complete. The earliest next section review is 6 November; publication and download dates do not refresh evidence.

Reviewed by Decentralised News editorial research. Section source review: 2026-10-25. Review due 8 Nov 2026; after that date this scope requires another evidence review.

What remains outside scope
