Hashdex has launched last week the Hashdex Crypto Momentum Factor ETP on the SIX Swiss Exchange, Euronext Paris and Euronext Amsterdam (Ticker HAMO) and on Xetra (Ticker HDXM). This is a new product, and the world’s first index-based crypto ETP that utilizes the momentum factor.
Momentum has proven to be a strong source of global asset returns for over 200 years. As the adoption of blockchain technologies drives long-term demand for crypto assets, behavioural phenomena like herding and “FOMO” can amplify price fluctuations. This makes momentum an ideal factor to help generate above-market returns in crypto.
The ETP aims to replicate the Vinter Hashdex Risk Parity Momentum Index, a benchmark that includes crypto assets eligible on key European exchanges and that exhibit relatively higher price momentum over a period of up to two months, while also employing strict risk controls.
This innovative ETP builds Hashdex’ ongoing growth in Europe. This year, Hashdex launched the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index Europe ETP that replicates a broad based evolutive and dynamic market-cap index of liquid digital assets that we co-developed with Nasdaq.
