According to Foresight News, market maker Wintermute and crypto media The Block have partnered to launch GMCI, a digital asset index provider, to provide a new benchmark for cryptocurrencies. GMCI's flagship product "GMCI 30" is designed to track the price performance of the top 20 digital assets by market capitalization. In addition, GMCI will offer a series of industry-specific indices built specifically for digital assets, such as other industry indices that specifically track Layer 1, Layer 2, and DeFi protocols. GMCI appointed Maarten Botman, who has served at GMCI for more than 15 years, as CEO. Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy and The Block CEO Larry Cermak will serve on the GMCI board of directors. Wintermute will support products based on the GMCI index, and The Block has launched a crypto index website to track the performance of all GMCI indices.
