CryptoIndex is a tool for exposure to the cryptomarket and serves as a smart benchmark for all cryptocurrencies. The AI-based Cryptoindex algorithm is continuously analyzing more than 2000 coins applying over 200 factors, processing more than 1 million signals per second to provide a highly sophisticated index of the top 100 coins.

The stock market has seen similar highs and lows throughout its history, as it initially went through similar problems in its early development phase. Creation of stock indices was one major milestone in the history and development of global finance and business.

The Known Benefits of Classic Indices A stock index is a measurement of a section of the stock market, calculated from the prices of selected stocks (typically a weighted average). It is a tool used to describe and rationalize the market and to compare the return on specific sectors or types of business. The primary criterion of a stock index is that the method of its construction should be clear.

The first stock index — The Dow Jones Industrial Average — was unveiled by the finance journalist Charles Dow in 1896. This index was an average of the top 12 stocks in the market; the majority of the companies were in the industrial sector. The DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Average) was calculated simply by taking all of the stock prices, adding them together and then dividing them by the number of stocks. The number that came out of this equation on May 26, 1896, was 40.94. Since then the range of Dow Jones products has greatly expanded, and the initial Dow is now trading above 25,000, at an all-time high.

When people speak of the stock market today, they often refer to the Dow, S&P 500, or the NASDAQ.

Each of these indices represents a unique segment of 10 11 12Introduction the overall market and tracks the performance of a basket of securities. These indices, for decades, have shown their effectiveness despite wars and crises; allowing nonprofessional investors to invest into an index, thereby diversifying their shareholding without any time constraints for analysis of individual companies.

The impact of indices on investing was, and continues to be, significant. First, indices brought transparency and a better understanding of market forces, by giving a measure of overall market sentiment. Indices created a benchmark for investors to measure up against. The creation of indices encouraged a segment of the investing population to choose a less active role, thus creating, for the first time in investing history, a possibility for people with little financial knowledge to control their own portfolios.

This, in turn, created opportunities to outperform a single product investment. In the words of Warren Buffett: “By periodically investing in an index fund… the know-nothing investor can actually outperform most investment professionals.
