Index details
The NYSE FactSet Global Blockchain Technologies Capped Index aims to measure the performance of globally listed companies that are involved in the research, enablement, development, and deployment of blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies and applications which comply with the index provider’s size, liquidity and free‑float criteria. Blockchain can be defined as technologies characterized by a suite of shared, peer‑to‑peer, decentralized, and immutable ledgers ideally suited for recording information. These unique characteristics make blockchain an important and valuable innovation with many potential applications, spanning across the areas of finance, healthcare, manufacturing, consumers, and public sector services. Cryptocurrency is a digital asset that typically uses blockchain’s decentralised and secured ledger as a method of verifying transactions and ownership.
