GMCI introduces GMCI 30, a benchmark index tracking the market performance of large-cap cryptocurrencies
The Block, a premier provider of information services in the digital asset industry, together with Wintermute, a digital asset liquidity provider and OTC trading desk, today announced the backing of GMCI. This new company aims to deliver comprehensive index products for the crypto asset management market.
GMCI is led by Maarten Botman, who brings over 15 years of experience from Optiver to his role as CEO. The company's board of directors includes Larry Cermak, CEO of The Block, and Evgeny Gaevoy, CEO of Wintermute, leveraging their industry expertise.
The company's first major initiative is the launch of the GMCI 30 index, designed to track the price performance of the top 30 crypto assets, offering a benchmark for evaluating investment returns and market performance for both crypto and traditional finance investors.
The GMCI 30 flagship index represents a top 30 crypto asset index by market capitalization with a structure that caps the weighting of the top asset at a maximum of 25% of the index's total value. Assets must meet specific criteria to be included in the index. The asset must be listed on at least one of the eight selected centralized exchanges (CEXs) and supported by at least one of the three selected custodians. Additionally, there must also be comprehensive Market Capitalization data available for the asset. The detailed index methodology will be published on the GMCI website.
The Block's industry-leading research team played a pivotal role in the successful launch of the GMCI 30 index by developing a comprehensive token classification taxonomy, conducting diligence on trusted crypto-specific data sources, and devising calculation methodologies that seamlessly blend cryptocurrency market insights with traditional market analysis.
GMCI plans to extend its index offerings beyond the GMCI 30 to include sector-specific indices for digital assets, supporting a broad range of financial products and investment strategies.
The launch of GMCI addresses the growing interest in crypto-tied financial products, as seen with the introduction of Bitcoin spot ETFs. Despite this interest, a universally accepted crypto asset index has been missing, a gap GMCI intends to fill.
GMCI indices, developed in collaboration with experts from the crypto-native and TradFi sectors, will be transparent and governed by strict standards. The company is also working towards BMR compliance to ensure the highest levels of integrity and investability.
GMCI's strategy includes enabling the creation of financial products based on its indices, with Wintermute providing liquidity support and The Block facilitating tracking through a dedicated website.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is continuing to gauge the scope of a false social media post that went out ahead of the approval of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, Chair Gary Gensler said in a letter to House Republicans.
"I assure you that the SEC takes its cybersecurity obligations seriously," Gensler said last week in the letter sent to House Financial Services Committee Chair Patrick McHenry, Rep. Bill Huizenga of Michigan, Rep. French Hill of Arkansas and Rep. Ann Wagner of Missouri.
The four Republicans had demanded a briefing from the SEC to look into what went wrong when a false post about the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs went out on the agency's X account in early January.
"I understand that the SEC’s Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs arranged a briefing on January 17 for your staff concerning the X incident and addressing the questions raised in your letter. SEC staff remains available to answer any additional questions you may have," Gensler said in last week's letter.
A phony post went out to the SEC's hundreds of thousands of followers on Jan. 9 that said the agency had granted approval for the listing of spot bitcoin ETFs, which was not yet the case. Gensler then quickly posted from his personal account that the SEC's X account had been compromised.
X confirmed in a post on Jan. 9 that the SEC's X account had been compromised, as someone obtained control over a phone number associated with the account. The platform's security team noted that the SEC did not set up two-factor authentication for its account when it was compromised, which sparked criticism from some in Washington D.C.

On Jan. 10, the agency officially approved spot bitcoin ETFs.
Multiple updates from the SEC
The SEC said its multi-factor authentication on its X account had been previously disabled, but has since been enabled on all SEC social media accounts that offer it, according to a Jan. 22 update.
The SEC also discussed a SIM swap, a technique that is used to transfer someone's phone number to another device without authorization.
"Among other things, law enforcement is currently investigating how the unauthorized party got the carrier to change the SIM for the account and how the party knew which phone number was associated with the account," Gensler said in the letter. "At present, SEC staff have not identified any evidence that the unauthorized party gained access to SEC systems, data, devices, or other social media accounts."
